The U.S. women's national team will meet with England in the SheBelievesCup on Saturday afternoon at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee.
The USWNT opened their tournament with a 2-2 draw against Japan earlier in the week, an opponent they overcame in the final of the 2015 World Cup.
The Lionesses defeated Brazil 2-1 in their first game of the tournament and will be eager to challenge the defending tournament and world champions ahead of a crucial World Cup summer in France.

Match Preview

England currently sit top of the SheBelieves Cup tournament standings after their opening victory over Brazil with three points, while the USWNT are in joint-second place alongside Japan with one point apiece.
The SheBelieves Cup follows a round-robin style with points awarded in the group stage. The formula is three points for a win, one point for a draw, and zero points for a loss. A tie in points will be decided by goal differential.
The USWNT, who have the advantage of home turf, will be aiming to defend their SheBelieves Cup title ahead of preparations for this summer's tournament in France where they will embark on an attempt to secure a second consecutive World Cup victory.
The last four meetings between the USWNT and the Lionesses have ended in 1-0 results, with three of the victories coming for the home side and one win for England. Their most recent meeting came at the 2018 edition of the SheBelieves Cup, as a Karen Bardsley own goal sealed a 1-0 win for the USWNT.
Alex Morgan is on course to score her 100th senior goal for her national side, and sits in seventh place of the USA's all-time goalscoring list. The 29-year-old netted in the opening draw against Japan.
The home side got their 2019 account off to a disappointing start with a 3-1 loss to France. It mirrored the result from four years ago, however, when the USWNT were defeated by Les Bleus in early 2015 – but managed to win the World Cup later that summer.
"Having this disappointing tie right now, all eyes are on England," Morgan said after her side's costly defensive errors against Japan.
"They're a good team defensively. They're very organised. So it will be a tough challenge for us."
