Team news
Sarina Wiegman makes just one change from the team that defeated Spain 1-0 last month, as she narrows in on her starting line-up for the Euros with a strong team to play Belgium.
Beth Mead is that only change with the Arsenal winger replacing Jess Park on the right side of England’s attack - Chloe Kelly could have been an option but has been ruled out due to injury.
Elsewhere, Wiegman names the same defence and midfield that played against Spain and Portugal. Lucy Bronze, Leah Williamson, Millie Bright and Niamh Charles are the back four, and Keira Walsh, Ella Toone and Grace Clinton are the three in the middle.
Hannah Hampton continues in goal, ahead of Mary Earps, while Alessia Russo is the starting striker and Lauren James is at left wing.
England will also be without Fran Kirby. Alex Greenwood, Georgia Stanway and Lauren Hemp are among those already absent through injury.
Odds
England win 2/11
Draw 13/2
Belgium win 9/1
