England will look to click back into gear off the back of defeat as they play host to Australia in an international friendly.

The Lionesses emerged on the losing side of their first match since the Euro 2025 final, slumping to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Brazil in Manchester.

They now voyage across the Peaks to Pride Park, the home of Derby County, taking on the Matildas in a rematch of the 2023 Women’s World Cup semi-final.

Sarina Wiegman’s side ended Aussie dreams of a home World Cup triumph on that fateful night in Sydney, something the visitors will no doubt look to avenge.
