Sarina Wiegman’s Lionesses take on Sweden this evening at Wembley Stadium

England get their Euro 2025 qualifying campaign underway this evening as they take on Sweden at Wembley Stadium. Sarina Wiegman's side are the current holders of the European Championships, of course, and they approach the contest in a rich vein of form.

The Lionesses have won their last four games in all competitions, stretching back to December 1, with 21 goals being scored in the process. England rounded off their Nations League campaign with a 3-2 win over Netherlands and a comfortable 6-0 victory over Scotland in Glasgow.

What's been said about England vs Sweden?

Previewing England's qualifying campaign, Wiegman said: "We've passed by that [Nations League] disappointment now because we went on a camp in February, and we played two games.

"The team really showed this is who we are, this is how we want to play and really showed there was so much energy. But they were friendlies, although we didn't really approach them as friendlies.

"It gave us an opportunity to play many players, to see where we're at as individuals but also as a team. But now, it's for qualifiers. So yes, it's absolutely an opportunity for us to show again what we can do."
