ENG-W vs SWE-W Team News

England

• England manager Phil Neville can be extremely proud of his team’s display in this tournament. They were dominant throughout and played some really eye-catching football. In the loss to USA as well there were some close calls with VAR and a penalty miss. Therefore, there is no reason why he should not back his tried and tested 11 in this game.
• However, the suspension of Millie Bright due to a red card in the 86^th minute of the game against USA would mean that Abbie Mcmanus will be the frontrunner to partner captain Steph Houghton in Central defence
• The rest of the team should remain the same. England will rely on their creative players Nikita Parris and Ellen White to break down what would be a resolute Sweden defence..

Sweden-W

• Sweden-W in the game against Netherlands showed how their journey to the World cup semifinals can be attributed to their resolute defense. They have only conceded 5 goals in the entire tournament and will be hard to break down.
• The pace of their counter attack is the threat they have which can hurt any side with Hurtig and Jakobsson and their pace and guile that can hurt England. Therefore they are most likely to carry on with the same 11 that they played in the semi finals
• They are  likely to play 4-2-3-1 formation with Blackstenius playing as lone striker and Lindahl will begin in goal
