The Lionesses are back in action one month after their heartbreaking defeat in the World Cup final – and they’ve got a point to prove. Since the World Cup final, it has been easy to won…
England fell at the final hurdle in the World Cup final despite the heroics of goalkeeper Mary EarpsRubiales eventually resigned, while coach Jorge Vilda and general secretary Andreu Camps were sacked.
There are four groups in League A, and England have Scotland, the Netherlands and Belgium in their group.The four group winners from League A will compete in a semi-final stage to determine the final two nations. Meanwhile, Wiegman will also be without Barcelona midfielder Keira Walsh and Tottenham captain Bethany England due to injury.After being nominated for the FIFA Best Goalkeeper award for another year and being voted England's Player of the Year, there is little doubt that Mary Earps will wear the gloves for the Lionesses.
The key decision will be whether to start Lauren James or Ella Toone - but James' creativity might make her the preferred option for Wiegman if she's looking for a strong start to the game.Ranked 23rd in the world by FIFA, this Scotland team might not seem like much of a challenge to the reigning European Champions and World Cup runners-up.
And they have no shortage of players who could cause a huge upset to England - watch out for Real Madrid's Caroline Weir in the midfield and Aston Villa's Kirsty Hanson on the wing.But Scotland's biggest victory recently has come off the pitch.
