Greece vs England: preview
England finished second in their initial qualifying group, behind world champions Spain, meaning they must now navigate two rounds of play-offs to secure their place at next summer’s World Cup in Brazil.
First up, they face Greece, who sit 55 places below them in the FIFA world rankings. The two sides meet in Crete on Friday, before the return leg in Leicester on Tuesday night.
After Chloe Kelly and Ella Toone were initially left out of the squad, an injury to Lucy Bronze opened up a spot for Toone. Sarina Wiegman said she had been impressed by how the Manchester United midfielder responded to the disappointment of her original omission.
Meanwhile, Chelsea youngster Lexi Potter has earned her first senior England call-up after impressing for the Blues this season.
With a place at the World Cup on the line, England know there is little margin for error.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Greece 1-3 England
The European champions will come out on top
