England vs China: preview

ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA - AUGUST 01: Chloe Kelly #18 of England celebrates her goal during the FIFA Women's World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023 Group D match between China and England at Hindmarsh Stadium on August 01, 2023 in Adelaide / Tarntanya, Australia.

England return to Wembley Stadium on Saturday night as the back-to-back European champions face Asian champions China in the third match of their four-game Homecoming Series.

The two sides last met at the 2023 Women’s World Cup, where England produced a dominant 6-1 win in Adelaide in their biggest ever victory over China. It was only the fifth meeting between the nations, with England winning two, drawing one and losing two.

England opened their Homecoming Series with a narrow 2-1 defeat to Brazil but bounced back with an emphatic 4-0 victory over Australia.

Debutant Lucia Kendall impressed in Derby against the Matildas, registering 50 passes, five shots and five chances created, becoming the first Lioness to hit those numbers in nearly four years.

England will hope to carry that attacking spark into this fixture. Despite a victorious Euros campaign, their win rate this year sits at just 53%, the lowest in a calendar year since 2008.

China arrive as reigning Asian champions, having dramatically overturned a 2-0 deficit to beat South Korea 3-2 in the 2022 Asian Cup final.

Ranked 16th in the world and 12 places below England, China are searching for a statement result after six straight defeats to top-five ranked nations since 2019, losing by an aggregate score of 21-3.

Their only previous away match against England came a decade ago in Manchester where the hosts edged a 2-1 win.

Defensively, England have been impressive on home soil, keeping clean sheets in seven of their last eight home games and winning four matches by three or more goals already this calendar year.

We could also see a senior debut for Freya Godfrey, who has been directly involved in four WSL goals for London City Lionesses this season, earning herself a first call-up.

Manchester City’s Lauren Hemp is also back in the England squad for the first time since Euro 2025 after recovering from her ankle injury,

A win for England would give Sarina Wiegman a landmark 50th victory as Lionesses manager, a feat that only Hope Powell has previously achieved.

FourFourTwo's prediction

England 3-1 China

A victory for the Lionesses under the Wembley arch...something they are oh so familiar with.
