Back to back wins have ensured the Lionesses passed their first test at the World Cup - but neither result has come easy, nor has it been pretty.
Lauren James was England’s savior on Friday as they beat Denmark 1-0 to almost certainly secure a passage to the last 16, however, fans will be looking for a far more convincing performance from the side, with only the width of a post saving them against their Group D opponents.
Ahead of their final group game against China, NationalWorld has predicted how the Lionesses might line up without key player Keira Walsh’s injury in their last game. With a couple of players underperforming and less pressure on the game itself, could we see a raft of changes, or small tweaks?
We predict England's starting X1 for their game with China today (kick-off: 12pm BST).
