England vs Japan − Match preview
Both England and Japan have already booked their places in the knockout rounds, so the only thing to decide is who will top the group, and who will finish second.
Though there’s an added incentive for the Lionesses, seeing as Japan knocked them out in the semi-finals of the 2015 Women’s World Cup − but the manner of that defeat is the thing that hurt the most.
England scored a last-minute own-goal that sent Japan through to the final, where they were beaten by the US.
Toni Duggan should be fit enough to take part in tonight’s match, having had to sit through the previous two games with an injury.
