How England's Lionesses should line up vs Nigeria in 2023 Women's World Cup: Let Lauren James wreak havoc again!

Same again! Earps continues to be reliable as ever in between the sticks for England, even if her run without conceding a goal was ended by China from the penalty spot in Adelaide.

The Man Utd star made a great save later on in the second half despite having little to do and she will remain in between the sticks as England look to reach the quarter-finals.

After impressing in the opening game against Haiti, it would've been fair for Carter to feel a little hard done by when she found herself on the bench for the clash with Denmark.

But the Chelsea defender came back into the team against China and was solid in a back three, even getting an assist after a lovely cross set up Lauren James for her second goal.

Wiegman should stick with the 3-5-2 formation after how well it worked in Adelaide and, as a result, Carter should keep her place.

After starting the tournament with a couple of rusty displays, Bright looked more like her reliable and assured self against China. The security of the back three no doubt helped and she should stay at the heart of it when Wiegman picks her team for Monday's game.

Greenwood started this tournament as a left-back, a role that she can certainly do but one that doesn't allow her to influence the game much. An excellent ball-playing defender with a wand of a left foot, she is better in more central areas in order to contribute to the build-up play.

After moving into the heart of defence against Denmark, she was much more effective and important, something that continued in the back three against China.

Bronze didn't set the world alight in England's first two games but she was excellent as a wing-back against China, getting into the box plenty to cause problems and provide an aerial threat on crosses.

Her tireless work-rate makes her perfect for this role and it's not too dissimilar from the way she operates in a back four anyway, given she is a very modern, attacking full-back.

Why fix what isn't broken? Zelem made her World Cup debut, and first ever start for England, against China and her performance was a good one.

The Man Utd captain didn't put a foot wrong as she and Georgia Stanway helped the Lionesses dominate and keep their opponents on the back foot. The double pivot also provided the stability needed for James to roam in the No.10 role.

If Wiegman does indeed stick with the formation, it'd be a surprise to see her change any of the personnel in midfield.

James' performances aside, Stanway has arguably been England's most impressive player at this World Cup. The Bayern Munich star has been consistent and reliable in midfield, able to provide an attacking threat or sit back and operate in a more conservative role if needed.

The latter was her task in the 3-5-2 against China and given it worked a treat, she should continue there.

The player of the tournament so far, James was brilliant off the left wing against Denmark - but in the No.10 role against China she was out of this world.

With the security of Zelem and Stanway behind her, the Chelsea star was given a free role and in that she scored twice and assisted another three goals. Why change anything?

Starting the first game on the bench and the second game as an orthodox left-back, Daly was the left wing-back against China and it was a job that really helped to maximise her strengths.

As well as utilising her grit and determination on the defensive side, the expansive system allowed the Aston Villa striker to get into the box and on the end of chances - one of which she put away.

Daly suits the role to a tee and should play there again.

Another player whose strengths were maximised by the 3-5-2 system was Russo, who scored only her second England goal since September while playing in a front two.

The Arsenal forward was able to get involved in the build-up play without also having to shoulder the burden of being the Lionesses' focal point and it got the best out of her.

Appearing refreshed after being on the bench against Denmark, Hemp was a livewire on Tuesday, playing with a fearless attitude that helped her get on the scoresheet.

She and Russo complemented each other brilliantly in a front two and Wiegman should stick with them both up top, as well as the other nine players who faced the Asian champions from the start.
