Former Manchester United defender Phil Neville will be hoping to add more silverware to England’s cabinet after guiding his side to a SheBelieves Cup triumph in March.

England and Scotland last met at Euro 2017 when the Lionesses thrashed the Scots 6-0 in Holland.

But England midfielder Scott Jill admits they were facing an inexperienced Scotland side two years ago.

She said: “For us, it’s one of the biggest games of our lives.

“I think what’s important is we don’t get lost in the emotion of the occasion and we just stay logical, earn the right to play.

“I haven’t even thought about that [6-0 win], which probably shows how I think this game’s going to be completely different.

“At that time, Scotland had some fantastic players but they probably didn’t have the experience that they’ve got now.

“I definitely think it will be a much tighter affair than the one before. We need to do our best to find time to [block] out all that noise that’s going to be outside.”

England No.1 Carly Telford is expected to start in goal with a back-four of Lucy Bronze, captain Steph Houghton, Leah Williamson, Alex Greenwood in front of her.

Team news

In pre-tournament friendlies, Neville used a 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 formation against Denmark and New Zealand, respectively.

He could turn to experience for the Scotland clash with 136-capped Jill Scott anchoring the midfield with energetic duo Jade Moore and Keira Walsh playing slightly further ahead.

Barcelona’s Toni Duggan and Lyon’s Nikita Parris could operate the wings with Euro 2017 top scorer Jodie Taylor leading the line.

England have never lost a game that Taylor, 33, has scored in.
