England Women will kick off the defence of their Women’s European Championship crown when they take on France Women in Saturday’s clash in Zurich.

The Lionesses and Les Bleues are competing in Group D alongside 2017 winner Netherlands and tournament debutants Wales.

• France have won 2 of the 4 meetings between the two sides in Euros
• England also recorded 2 victories.
• Les Blues scored 6 goals in those games.
• Three Lionesses hit the back of the net 4 times in those matches.
• The last 4 encounters between the two teams produced at least 3 goals.

Form:

• France in all competitions: W-W-W-W-W
• England in all competitions: W-L-W-L-W

Team News:

• Veteran defender Wendie Renard and record scorer Eugenie Le Sommer were surprising omissions from Laurent Bonadei's squad meaning a slightly different look to his team. Young defenders Thiniba Samoura and Alice Sombath are among a rash of new players hoping to make their mark. However, up front, Bonadei will lean on free-scoring veterans Kadi Diani and Marie-Antoinette Katoto.
• Lauren James has recovered from injury but the England star may be eased in to the tournament off the bench. Wiegman has a decision over Jess Carter or Niamh Charles at left-back while Grace Clinton has to be pushing Georgia Stanway for a place alongside Keira Walsh.
