With seven months to go until the tournament, the defending champions welcome the host side, Switzerland, to Sheffield's Bramall Lane tonight for their fourth and final friendly of a block of home games this autumn. The Lionesses have lost against Germany, beaten South Africa and drawn with the USA, the Olympic champions.

Wiegman said she will "rotate a lot" with her team selection. "That [feeling uncomfortable] is what you need at moments," she said. "Before we go into the tournament, you want clarity and everyone knowing their role. But now you're trying out things, now you want everyone to compete at the highest level, to compete against opponents but also compete with each other. That's what you need to become better, and that's uncomfortable. And also trying out things, those are new things, and of course we're not going to get everything right but we're learning and it gives us information.
