England Women travel to face Northern ireland tonight, looking to all but seal their place at the 2023 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
A sold-out Windsor Park full with 16,000 fans - a record for women’s football in the country - will greet the two teams in Belfast as the hosts look to pull off the major upset required to get their qualification campaign back on track.
Austria claimed a 3-1 win over Northern Ireland on Friday to leave them adrift of a top-two finish while prolific England put ten goals past North Macedonia.
Yet to concede a goal or drop a point in Group D, the Lionesses know a win will leave them at least five points clear of the Austrians with two games to play - which includes a match-up with their closest rivals and the visit of Luxembourg.
