Ukraine vs England: preview
England travel to Turkey on Tuesday to face Ukraine in the opening match of their 2027 World Cup qualifying campaign. The European champions have been drawn in a group alongside Tuesday's opposition, Iceland and world champions Spain.
Automatic qualification is reserved for the team that finishes top, but as a League A nation, England are at least guaranteed a play-off place for next year's tournament in Brazil. Despite being back-to-back European champions, England are currently ranked fourth in the world, behind Spain, the United States and Germany.
Ukraine, meanwhile, sit 30 places below the Lionesses in the FIFA world rankings.
Sarina Wiegman's side ended 2025 on a high. After losing to Brazil in the first match of the 'Homecoming Series', they responded with victories over Australia, China and Ghana to round off a successful year.
Captain Leah Williamson returns to the squad for the first time since Euro 2025. She is joined by several others from last summer's squad, including Chelsea's Hannah Hampton and Lauren James and Manchester City's Alex Greenwood who missed the previous camp through injury.
Notable absentees include Manchester United's Ella Toone, sidelined with a hip injury, and Arsenal's Beth Mead who is recovering from a fractured shin.
London City Lionesses forward Freya Godfrey retains her place in the squad after an impressive Women's Super League campaign, while her teammate defender Poppy Pattinson has earned her first senior call-up for England. Both could make their senior debuts during this window.
After Tuesday's fixture, England host 16th-ranked Iceland at Nottingham Forest's City Ground on Saturday 7 March.
Wiegman’s side will be relieved not to face Spain, who they defeated on penalties in the Euro 2025 final, until the next international window in April.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Ukraine 0-3 England
A comfortable victory to ease the Lionesses into their World Cup qualification campaign.
