Everton Women's manager Sarina Wiegman is looking forward to the Lionesses' game against Ukraine at Hill Dickinson Stadium, but admits she'll have one eye on events in Spain. The Lionesses are heading to the Premier League's newest venue as they host Ukraine at Everton's Hill Dickinson Stadium. England Women are expected to win comfortably against Ukraine, who they thrashed 6-1 last time out in March. However, Wiegman has been left praying for a positive result in Spain, where England face a crucial European League A Group 3 qualifier. England's destiny is now out of their own hands if they're to qualify automatically for next year's finals in Brazil rather than go through another two rounds of play-offs. England walloped Ukraine 6-1 last time out in March and are expected to win comfortably again. The Dutch-born coach has steered her side to back-to-back European Championship successes. England Women are heading to the Premier League's newest venue as they host Ukraine at Everton's Hill Dickinson Stadium but excited manager Sarina Wiegman admits she'll have one eye on events a thousand miles north-west of the banks of the Mersey. In a repeat of the last Women's World Cup final in 2023, England faced Spain in their penultimate European League A Group 3 qualifier on Friday, but unlike that previous meeting when they were edged out 1-0 for the trophy, the Lionesses (who won 1-0 in the reverse fixture at Wembley) were thrashed 4-0 in Majorca. Both nations now have 12 points from five games, but Spain's superior head-to-head record takes England's destiny out of their own hands if they're to qualify automatically for next year's finals in Brazil rather than go through another two rounds of play-offs. Although England walloped Ukraine 6-1 last time out in March and are expected to win comfortably again, the Dutch-born coach, who has steered her side to back-to-back European Championship successes, admits she's been left praying for a positive result in Spain.
