England will look to continue their perfect start to World Cup qualifying when they host Austria in Sunderland this afternoon.

Sarina Wiegman’s side have won all four of their matches in Group D so far, scoring 32 goals in the process, but Austria are set to be their toughest test yet.

Ellen White is set to win her 100th England cap and there could further history made as the striker closes in on Kelly Smith’s England goalscoring record.

White is two goals behind Smith’s record of 46 ahead of this week’s fixtures, with England also facing Latvia in Doncaster on Tuesday.
