England are surely one of the favourites to lift the World Cup later this year and preparations are in full swing.

The Lionesses are arguably the best team in the world on current form and the Arnold Clark Cup offers a great chance for them to assert their dominance and defend their title from last year.

But despite being unbeaten in ages, the Lionesses have only won two of their last four and will want to get back to winning ways.

England manager Sarina Wiegman: "The first camp of the year is always important to set the right tone for what comes next, especially with such a big opportunity in the summer.

"We are only looking forward now and we have to stay humble and focused on working hard.

"We know the fans will be with us again and we can't wait to see them at every stadium. We had a positive experience with the Arnold Clark Cup last time.

"We had three tough matches with different challenges in each one, and we were able to learn a lot from our performances and work on many details, which we are aiming to do again."
