Defending champions England Women<\/a> take on Spain Women<\/a> for the chance to win the Women\u2019s European Championship<\/a> trophy on Sunday at 5pm (UK time).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

England Women predicted lineup vs Spain Women<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

England Women (4-3-3):<\/strong> Hampton; Bronze, Williamson, Morgan, Greenwood; Toone, Walsh, Stanway; Mead, Russo, Hemp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarina Wiegman’s England now stand just one win away from defending the European Championship crown they famously won on home soil three years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their campaign in Switzerland has been anything but straightforward, marked by nervy starts and dramatic finishes. In the quarter-finals, they battled back from two goals down to take Sweden to penalties. The Lionesses held their nerve to advance through to the semi-finals against Italy. There, they struck a 96th-minute equaliser before sealing victory with a 119th-minute winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wiegman must now make some big selection calls ahead of Sunday\u2019s showdown against tournament favourites Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wiegman has built a reputation for consistency in her team selections. And the two-time European Championship-winning coach looks set to stick closely to the starting XI that beat Italy in the semi-final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Esme Morgan impressed at centre-back and will almost certainly keep her place, leaving Jess Carter on the bench once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans and pundits alike continue to call for Chloe Kelly and Michelle Agyemang to start after their latest game-changing performances off the bench. But Wiegman is expected to keep them as second-half impact subs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lauren James is England’s main injury concern after she was withdrawn at half-time against Italy with an ankle issue. Beth Mead could be drafted into the starting XI to replace James for the final against Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Can England retain their European Championship crown?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Wiegman has transformed England into a major force, not only in Europe but on a global scale. The Dutch coach inspired the Lionesses to Euro glory three years ago and then came heartbreakingly close to adding a World Cup title, only to fall 1-0 to Spain in the 2023 final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Spain have continued to rise, capturing the Nations League and storming their way to a first-ever Euros final, winning all five of their matches in Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Bookmakers favour Spain, but this England team have made a heroic habit of defying the odds. And you can simply never count them out when it matters most.<\/p>\n\n\n
