The Lionesses were disappointing at St James’ Park on Friday. Despite taking the lead through Beth Mead, two excellent finishes after poor set-piece defending gave Les Bleues the 1-2 win. England will need to improve in St. Etienne, as they go into the fixture in third place in the group. Only the top two go straight into the tournament.

Having Leah Williamson and Millie Bright back together at the back was a huge boost for Sarina Wiegman’s team. However, Jess Carter struggled at left-back and there is growing pressure to include Alex Greenwood. Without the injured Lauren James, they looked a little bit lifeless upfront. Goalkeeper Mary Earps will also miss the game with an injury, with Hannah Hampton continuing between the posts.

Hervé Renard will no doubt want more of the same from his players. His midfield, including the impressive Sandie Toletti, managed to quash the creativity and control normally offered by Georgia Stanway and Keira Walsh.

With Sweden likely to beat Ireland in the other game in Group A3, three points will be vital for whoever can claim them. It should be a tense and exciting night.

Here's how they line up:

France: Peyraud-Magnin; Karchaoui, Renard, Lakrar, De Almeida; Diani, Bacha, Henry, Geyoro, Dali, Katoto

England: Hampton; Bronze, Bright, Williamson, Carter; Walsh, Toone, Stanway, Mead, Russo, Hemp
