Alessia Russo is clearly a real fans' favourite since the Euros. Her name got one of the loudest cheers when the teams were being read out earlier pre-match, ...

The game at Stoke City's Bet365 Stadium will be played in front of a sell-out crowd. Those like Nikita Parris and Alessia Russo - who were substitutes during the Euros - have a real chance now to step up to the plate. Toone finds Mead on the edge of the box who fires in a low, inviting cross and England gets herself on the end of it. The former midfielder, and the only footballer to have played in two major international finals, gets a warm hug from Baroness Sue Campbell. The Lionesses are wasting no time and have already bossed the visitors with a good spell of possession. You feel Russo is really going to become one of those big game players for England in the wake of White's retirement. The keeper misjudges the weight of the ball as she tries to trap it with her foot and it runs past her, but makes amends for her lapse in concentration ad grabs onto the post as she saves the ball from trickling in. Parris' runs in behind are causing Luxembourg's left back a lot of problems, but she manages to hold off the Manchester United player as she tries to round her in the box. Of course there are areas to improve, but we need the big games and this is a game we already knew we would win. They face world champions the USA on October 7 in front of 80,000-plus at Wembley in what promises to be a real firecracker. On the commentary, Chelsea manager Emma Hayes has a little moan, lamenting the fact that one of her own is trying her luck from that far out. Lauren Hemp got in the act with a 90th-minute ninth goal before England doubled her own tally to take the hosts into double figures for the fourth time in their 10 qualifying fixtures.

Ellie Roebuck replaces Mary Earps in goal, with Millie Bright replaced by Rachel Daly in defence. Lauren Hemp also makes way for Nikita Parris going forward.

Stoke City will host a bumper crowd for England Women's first game on home soil since being crowned European champions.

The nine victories to date include a 20-0 thrashing of Latvia in Doncaster last November, the team's biggest ever competitive win. Nobbs, who also missed out on selection for the 2019 World Cup due to injury, will be keen to take another step forward with the next tournament less than a year away. Indeed, they have not even conceded a goal during the campaign, while their goals for tally is a remarkable 70. The 29-year-old Arsenal midfielder is back in the squad after being ruled out of the Euros by a knee issue. The likes of Lauren James, a debutant off the bench on Saturday, Ebony Salmon, Katie Zelem and Lotte Wubben-Moy may get some minutes. Sarina Wiegman's side are set to get quite the reception in Stoke as they play their first home match since winning the Euros in July.

The game against Luxembourg is their 10th and final match of a fantastic World Cup qualifying campaign, winning the first nine and scoring 70 without conceding ...

Luxembourg had only once before faced a team in the top 10 of the world rankings – and that was when they lost 10-0 to England in the reverse fixture. England 6 Luxembourg 0 - Bethany England Either way, still a good effort and a lovely positive atmosphere. Stewards let a girl slip through and she dashed across the pitch towards the players. Luxembourg keeper Lucie Schlime also made a couple of point-blank saves and more often than not she had 10 outfield players within about 20 yards defending as fiercely as they could. People come to the stadium to see the England team they've seen a lot. We are also playing number one in the rankings to see where we are at that point. That's what people want to see, players putting in lots of effort to play the game." You want to keep the tempo high. At the moment we're very popular and I just hope we keep doing that, we keep our fans happy.
