  • 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup
  • Group 1 qualifier
  • Friday 31 August
  • Rodney Parade, Newport
Phil Neville’s side are second in the table, one point behind Wales but with a game in hand.

 

It was goalless the last time the two nations met, in Southampton in April.

The group winners will make it through to next summer’s finals with the runners-up likely to enter two rounds of play-off matches.

England need at least a point in Newport to keep alive their hopes of qualifying automatically.

The Lionesses' final qualifier is away to Kazakhstan on Tuesday 4 September.

The 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup finals will be hosted in France from 7 June to 7 July.
