A few stats to whet your appetite ahead of this afternoon’s contest, courtesy of our friends at OPTA.

- This will be the 11th meeting between England and Switzerland across all competitions, with the Lionesses winning nine of the previous ten meetings (D1), scoring 30 while conceding just six in reply.

- The Lionesses have only faced Finland (13) and Northern Ireland (11) on more occasions without ever losing than Switzerland (10).

- Switzerland have lost all four of their home matches against England by an aggregate scoreline of 13-3, with their last such defeat also coming in a Friendly in June 2017 (4-0).

- England remain unbeaten in their last 13 matches in all competitions (W11 D2), since a 0-2 loss to Canada in April last year, scoring 80 goals and conceding just three during this period.

Leah Williamson says she feels a sense of “responsibility rather than pressure” as she prepares to captain England at a home Euros.

The 25-year-old has also spoken about how she has been taking note of the behaviour of other captains, including England cricket skipper Ben Stokes.

Having been given the armband by boss Sarina Wiegman in a number of games through the season in the absence of the injured Steph Houghton, Williamson was then confirmed as Lionesses captain for this summer’s Euros in April.

She heads into the showpiece with her previous senior major tournament experience featuring one substitute appearance at the 2019 World Cup in France, as well as playing three times for Great Britain at the Tokyo Olympics last year.

England had Ellen White back in training on Wednesday ahead of their final Euro 2022 warm-up match against Switzerland.

White, the Lionesses’ 50-goal record scorer, missed last Friday’s 5-1 victory over the Netherlands at Elland Road having tested positive for Covid.

The Manchester City striker has subsequently made the trip to Switzerland, who England play in Zurich on Thursday before opening the home Euros by taking on Austria at Old Trafford next Wednesday.

And boss Sarina Wiegman told a press conference regarding White: “She’s good. It took a while, so we’re glad she’s back, she’s very happy too.

“She’ll start on the pitch today and hopefully we can build her up again and get her ready for the Euros. Maybe one or two days she took it easy, and then she could train by herself, she got a programme. She’s in shape.”

England will head to Stadion Letzigrund looking to maintain Sarina Wiegman’s unbeaten record as coach since she took over last September and their away form has been pretty stellar lately.

The Lionesses have won each of their last four away games without conceding a goal and the record against Switzerland is exceptional - winning 9 and drawing 1 of the 10 fixtures the sides have contested throughout their histories

Welcome to The Independent’s live coverage of England’s final Euro 2022 warm-up match against Switzerland.

The warm-ups could hardly have gone better for the Lionesses so far, with a battling victory over Belgium followed by a 5-1 thumping of reigning European champions Netherlands.

And now they complete preparations by facing a Swiss side who have also qualified for the European Championships and will be looking to make a statement against Sarina Wiegman’s outfit.
