Women's World Cup final team news

Spain
Oihane Hernandez is back from suspension for La Roja, while Alexia Putellas continues to work her way back from a long-term injury and may not start this time .

England
Lauren James is available for the Lionesses after completing a two-game suspension she was given for her red card in the last 16 but could be kept out of the starting line-up by Ella Toone.

Women's World Cup final predictions

History beckons for England Women, who have the chance to become the first senior England side to win the World Cup since 1966 when they square up against Spain in Sydney on Sunday.

Reaching the final alone is an extraordinary achievement for the Lionesses, who headed down under this summer without a number of key players including star forward Beth Mead and influential captain Leah Williamson.

And their opening performances in Group D did not do a lot to ease the concerns of England fans as they were underwhelming in 1-0 wins over Haiti and Denmark.

The Lionesses went up a gear in their final group tussle with China, storming to a 6-1 win, but were once again frustrated in their opening knockout contest, edging past Nigeria on penalties after a cagey 0-0 draw.

England lost key creative outlet Lauren James to a red card in that match after she stamped on Nigerian Michelle Alozie late on and others had to step up to the plate in the team's subsequent knockout contests.

Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo were on the scoresheet in the 2-1 win over Colombia, while it was Ella Toone who got the ball rolling in the 3-1 win over Australia last time out, and that performance will probably see her start ahead of James in the final.

And now England find themselves on the precipice of greatness, targeting a second successive major trophy in as many years after last year's Euro 2022 triumph on home soil.

This year, though, England could not have been further from home and a victory over Spain on Sunday would be all the more significant.

This final represents a changing of the guard - it is the first Women's World Cup final to feature neither the USA nor Germany and, whatever happens, there will be a new name on the trophy.

Spain have a star-studded squad at their disposal and will give England's rearguard their greatest test yet. La Roja are top scorers in the tournament with 17 goals to their name.

They seem to have overcome the tension between Jorge Vilda and some of his players but before this tournament, Spain had never won a Women's World Cup knockout contest and it is hard to ignore that 4-0 drubbing by Japan in the group stage.

Sarina Wiegman has shown time and time again she knows how to get a result when it matters and on Sunday she can record the greatest achievement in her career by helping the Lionesses bring it home.

Key stat

England have lost only one match under Sarina Wiegman since she took charge in September 2021.

Spain (4-3-3): Coll; Batlle, Paredes, Codina, Carmona; Bonmati, Abelleira, Hermoso; Redondo, Caldentey, Gonzalez.

England (3-4-1-2): Earps; Carter, Bright, Greenwood; Bronze, Stanway, Walsh, Daly; Toone; Russo, Hemp.

Women's World Cup final bet builder tips

England to win
England went the distance at Euro 2022 last year and they can repeat the feat in the final of the Women's World Cup by beating an inexperienced Spain team.

Both teams to score
These nations have scored a combined 30 goals at the Women's World Cup and a high-scoring final could be on the cards.

Lauren Hemp to have a shot on target
In the absence of Lauren James, Lauren Hemp has stepped up to the plate with three goals for England in this tournament and she can force a shot on target in Sydney.
