A great interview here with Karen Carney:
The first leg of the women’s Nations League final took place yesterday, catch up with all of the action:
Tonight’s game will be Anna Moorhouse’s debut for England. She was a part of the Euros team who won this past summer but she did not play any minutes with Hannah Hampton in the number one shirt.

Preamble
Hello and welcome to the friendly between England and China at Wembley Stadium. The match is set to be a thriller with the European Championship holders taking on the reigning Asia Cup winners.
The home of English football is sold-out for the occasion which will see Fran Kirby celebrated pre-match after her international retirement before the Euros this past summer.
The team news will be announced shortly but there was a last minute squad update for England. On Friday Khiara Keating withdrew from the squad with a minor injury and so former number one Ellie Roebuck has been called up.
With Hannah Hampton out of action with injury it will be interesting to see who England manager Sarina Wiegman selects in goal. That news and all the other updates incoming before kick-off at 5.30pm GMT.
