Iceland vs England: preview
England have made a perfect start to their qualifying campaign at the halfway point.
In the last window, a 6–1 victory over Ukraine in Turkey was followed by a 2–0 win against Iceland at a sold-out City Ground in Nottingham.
They carried that momentum into this April window, beating world champions Spain 1-0 at Wembley, leaving the Lionesses top of Group A3.
Iceland have struggled historically in this fixture, losing nine of their 11 meetings with England (W1 D1), including last month’s defeat in Nottingham, where they managed just one shot compared to England’s 31. Goals from Lucy Bronze and Georgia Stanway secured that victory.
With only the group winner earning automatic qualification for the 2027 World Cup in Brazil, England England know there is little margin for error - though, as a League A side, they are at least guaranteed a play-off place.
Captain Leah Williamson remains in the squad but missed out against Spain due to a hamstring injury, but Sarina Wiegman confirmed she is very close to a return.
Notable absentees include Manchester United's Ella Toone, still sidelined with a hip issue, and Manchester City's Grace Clinton with a "lower body injury."
There are also fresh faces in the camp, with 17-year-old Erica Meg Parkinson and 20-year-old Keira Barry receiving their first senior call-ups, who may earn first caps in Iceland.
The match will also mark the Lionesses' historic 500th fixture - 53 years and 151 days since winning their first against Scotland in November 1972.
To commemorate the occasion, the squad will wear special pre-match shirts.
