England 0-0 Netherlands
1 min: So not just one positional change for England tonight but two: Jess Carter is at centre-back, with Alex Greenwood at left back. A big change in the back four.

“We want to play well. We want to stay connected, but if necessary we want to fight for the win and show what we can do.
“What we want to express is a very strong team with good football going forward.”

Women’s Euro 2025 group permutations: What England need to avoid early exit
If England lose to the Netherlands and France take at least a point against Wales, England would be out. Wales would also be out if they lose and the Netherlands take at least a point.
England cannot be knocked out today with a draw, but they would likely need a favour from France on the final day.

Lauren James backed as Ella Toone brought into midfield
It was clear on Saturday in the 2-1 defeat to France that England’s midfield did not work, with Lauren James fading after a bright start and Georgia Stanway and Keira Walsh.
James remains in the team but has been moved to right wing – with Ella Toone brought in to offer some more strength in midfield.
Stanway was one of the players who spoke about the importance of getting “stuck in” against the Netherlands and midfield will be key to that.
