England are set to take on Spain in the first quarter-final of Women’s Euro 2022 tomorrow night. The match, which will kick off at 8pm at Brighton Community Stadium, will be the biggest test of the Lionesses’ campaign so far - after they sauntered through the group stage with three wins over Austria, Norway and Northern Ireland, scoring 14 and conceding none.
Spain were among the pre-tournament favourites and have lost just one of their last 26 outings. Despite injuries to their key players, it is expected to be a close game and it is thought it could be a classic.
Wearing the captain’s armband is Leah Williamson. The 25-year-old centre back, who can also play in midfield, has 34 England caps and has only played for one domestic club since becoming a senior player in 2014 - her beloved Arsenal.
