The Lionesses kick start their World Cup campaign with a tricky fixture against France. Last time the two sides met in the illustrious tournament, France won the scintillating encounter which was eventually settled through penalties.
Mark Sampson who's team has been paired with the likes of Colombia and Mexico as well in Group F is confident that his side can produce a positive result against the tournament favorites.
"It's going to be a tough game, isn't it?" he said. "We're playing many people's tournament favourites, we're playing against some huge individual talents.
"Now, more than they've ever had, France have got a real collective ethic as well. It's going to be a huge challenge for us, but we'll do what we always do: we'll focus on ourselves, and make sure we pick a team that can deal with France and give them as many problems as possible.
"We'll make it as difficult an afternoon as we possibly can for France, and I think we've got a group of people who can do that."
Sampson has dismissed claims that his team will look to defend for lengthy periods, insisting that his side will definitely pose an attacking threat.
"We've got to make sure we balance up the areas of our game in terms of making sure we're a threat with the ball, to keep them guarded at the back, and making sure that without the ball we're very resolute and compact, and we're in a position to make France's life difficult," added Sampson.
"They have got some talents and if you don't pay attention to those talents they'll punish you, but we've got to make sure they're aware of our talents and those talents express themselves as well."
France have not tasted defeat at the hands of the Lionesses since 1974 and are currently ranked as the third best team in the world, three places above their opponents on Tuesday. However they have suffered defeats in three of their last five matches and will be looking to produce a better performance this time around.
England have a couple of injury concerns ahead of the tie with a number of players suffering from injury as well as illness, including team captain Steph Houghton.
Striker Jodie Taylor is doubtful having gone through a knee operation recently, while two unnamed players have reportedly suffered from food poisoning.
