The Lionesses recovered from an opening 2-1 defeat to France by thrashing the Netherlands 4-0 and Wales 6-1 to reassert their credentials as contenders.

Inaugural winners and four-time finalists Sweden have also hit menacing form, following up a 1-0 win over Denmark with a 3-0 victory against Poland and 4-1 triumph over Germany.

Women’s Euro 2025: Sweden lineup vs England

Fridolina Rolfo returned to Sweden’s starting line-up against Germany following a foot injury, celebrating her 100th cap by scoring a 34th-minute penalty.

The Barcelona wide player is one of several potential game changers alongside the likes of London City Lionesses forward Kosovare Asllani, who must avoid a booking or face a ban for a potential semi-final.

Coach Peter Gerhardsson makes two changes, bringing in Hanna Lundkvist for Smilla Holmberg at right-back and Julia Zigiotti Olme for Hanna Bennison in midfield.

“It’s one of those matches,” Gerhardsson told womenseuro.com. “You don’t know how it’s going to go. You know you can win, but at the same time you also have respect for the opponent.

“As always, it will be great to finally get started – it’s been a long, pleasant wait during the day. Hopefully we can start a bit better than we did [against Germany].

“Maybe we need to create situations where we get in behind their back line early on, so we don’t drop too deep at the beginning. That would help us get into the game with the right energy.”

Sweden starting XI: Falk; Lundkvist, Bjorn, Eriksson, Andersson; Angeldahl, Zigiotti Olme; Rytting Kaneryd, Asllani, Rolfo; Blackstenius

Subs: Holmgren, Enblom, Sembrant, Nilden, Janogy, Hurtig, Jakobsson, Ilestedt, Wangerheim, Bennison, Holmberg, Blomqvist

Women’s Euro quarter finals: England lineup vs Sweden

England have named an unchanged line-up from their win over Wales, so Manchester United midfielder Ella Toone must avoid a yellow card to be available for a potential semi-final.

Forward Alessia Russo put England ahead at Wembley Stadium when the teams drew 1-1 in qualifying, Rolfo scoring the equaliser.

The holders earned a 0-0 draw in the return fixture in Gothenburg, sending England through automatically in second ahead of opponents who qualified through the play-offs.

Lucy Bronze’s 14th appearance at the finals puts the Chelsea defender one behind record holder Karen Carney and level with Jill Scott, Kelly Smith and Fara Williams.

England starting XI: Hampton; Bronze, Williamson, Carter, Greenwood; Toone, Walsh, Stanway; James, Russo, Hemp

Subs: Agyemang, Beever-Jones, Charles, Keating, Kelly, Le Tissier, Mead, Moorhouse, Morgan, Park, Wubben-Moy
