Norway boss Martin Sjogren pre-match

Norway boss Martin Sjogren has suggested that nerves played a part in a slightly underwhelming performance by England in their 1-0 win over Austria on Wednesday.

Sjogren also believes that Norway are "definitely underdogs" tonight because England are ranked three places higher.

He said: "England is one of the big favourites for the tournament. I think England feels quite a lot of pressure from being at home, being one of the favourites.

"They've had very good performances, especially in the preparations before the Euros. England need to be the favourites in this game going into it."

19:30Tom Malley

Ellen White: Norway are an "amazing" team

England striker Ellen White has paid dividends to the opposition tonight, who won 4-1 in their last outing against Northern Ireland.

She said: "Norway had a great start and we obviously got three points so I think it will be a great game for the neutrals and both sets of fans.

"It should be an exciting, competitive game with talented players on show. We want to go into this Norway game and hopefully put on a big performance.

"They're a great side, they have some amazing players and are really well organised."

19:25Tom Malley

Millie Bright relishing Hegerberg battle

England defender Millie Bright will come up against inaugral Ballon d'Or winner Ada Hegerberg tonight, who is considered one of the best players in the Women's game.

"She's a top player, everyone is aware of her strengths and how she plays but it's just another opponent to take care of and defend against," said Bright.

"As defenders, we love that challenge and it's something that we strive off. You want to be challenged. We're prepared for what we're going to face and we're ready to put our stamp on the game as well."

More from Wiegman

Wiegman has responded to Norway manager Martin Sjogren stating that England's underwhelming performance in their victory over Austria was due to pressure.

"We know what we want. We want to play our best game and we want to entertain," said Wiegman.

"You're talking about someone who has said something about us [but] has not been with us. That's OK. It's nice they are trying to put pressure on us.

"We're just working on our game and how we want to play. I don't think about being the hosts, I think about the game."

19:00Tom Malley

Sarina Wiegman "happy" for Norway to be underdogs

England manager Sarina Wiegman has responded to claims that her side are under more pressure as tournament hosts by claiming that tonight's match against Norway is "just a game".

She said: "Tomorrow is just a game. We want to win and they want to.

"If they want to be the underdog, that's fine. I think they have a very strong squad and we do too. I expect an open match so let's see where it goes. Obviously I hope we win it."

England unchanged for Norway clash

England are unchanged from their clash with Austria just five days ago, with the same starting XI from that 1-0 victory set to be used tonight.

Sarina Wiegman has opted to stick with the same squad for the Group A clash with Norway, in which she will hope for her side to build some consistency throughout this tournament.

Among those who have retained their places is last week's match winner Beth Mead, who starts on the right wing of a 4-2-3-1 formation.

England 1-0 Austria recap

Beth Mead scored the winner last time out, as England secured a 1-0 victory over Austria in their Group A opener at Old Trafford.

18:26Tom Malley

Last time out

Both England and Norway kicked-off their Euro 2022 campaigns with victories in their opening Group A matches last week, leaving them both at the top of the group ahead of today's game.

England secured a 1-0 victory over Austria in the opening game of the tournament on Thursday at Old Trafford, with Beth Mead's 16th minute strike enough to claim all three points.

Norway then went and produced an impressive performance of their own just 24 hours later, as they comfortably saw off Northern Ireland 4-1 at St. Mary's Stadium to go top of Group A.

Big night ahead

It's a big night ahead for the Lionesses.

They got their Euro 2022 bid off to a winning start vs Austria but face a tougher test at the hands of Norway.

It promises to be another great occasion in front of a big crowd, this time in Brighton after a sell-out opener at Old Trafford.
