The quarterfinals of the World Cup conclude as the favourites to win the tournament England come up against surprise qualifiers Colombia in Sydney.

The Lionesses had to work hard to overcome Nigeria, with the European champions eventually prevailing 4-2 on penalties after a 0-0 draw, where one of the tournament's best players Lauren James was sent off for a straight red card.

They will be without the attacker, who has three goals and three assists to her name, for the next two matches, but will back themselves to get the job done against a Colombia side that has defied expectations in Australia.

They topped Group H with two wins, and then defeated Jamaica in a tight Round of 16 clash to qualify for the quarterfinals for the first time ever.

England vs Colombia lineups, team news

The big question for England is how they will replace the suspended Lauren James, who has been a revelation for the Lionesses;  Ella Toone could replace her at the attacking midfield spot if England stay with their 3-4-1-2 formation they have used in the past two games.

They may also opt for a change up front, with Chloe Kelly potentially entering the side for Lauren Hemp, who was underwhelming against Nigeria.

Jessica Carter, captain Millie Bright and Alex Greenwood look set to start once again in the back three, with Lucy Bronze and Rachel Daly providing the width in the side.

There is also a fresh injury concern with star midfielder Keira Walsh, who limped off at the end of extra-time in their last match, Jordan Nobbs or Katie Zelem would be most likely to replace the Barcelona midfielder if she is deemed unfit for the quarterfinal.

  • England projected starting lineup (4-4-2): 1-Earps (GK) — 16-Carter, 6-Bright, 5-Greenwood — 2- Bronze, 8-Stanway, 4-Walsh, 9-Daly — 10-Toone — 23-Russo, 18-Kelly

Colombia's most exciting player at the World Cup so far has been 18-year-old Linda Caicedo, who scored twice in the opening two matches including a goal of the tournament contender against Germany.

Catalina Usme, who captained the side in the absence of Daniela Montoya against Jamaica, has also been hugely effective, scoring the winning goal in the game as well as in the opening match against South Korea.

Colombia have utilised a 4-2-3-1 formation throughout the tournament, which has been clinical in attack and also stout in defence, only conceding two goals all tournament.

  • Colombia projected starting lineup (4-2-3-1): 1-Perez (GK) — 17-C. Arias, 19-Carabali, 3-D. Arias, 15-Guzman — 5. Bedoya, 4. Espinosa — 18-Caicedo, 10-Santos, 9-Ramirez — 11-Usme

England vs Colombia betting odds

Of all the quarterfinals, this match on paper is the most lopsided, with the European champions England expected to comfortably progress over Colombia.

Despite their injury and suspension concerns, bookmakers are backing them to have enough quality to end Colombia's fairytale run at the tournament.
