England face one of the pre-tournament favourites in the Euro 2022 quarter finals on Wednesday night

After a perfect start to the tournament, England will face their toughest test so far as they take on Spain for a place in the semi-finals of the Women's Euro 2022. The Lionesses have scored a remarkable 14 goals with none conceded in their three matches so far, with Beth Mead leading the goal scoring charts so far with five.

However, this is likely to be Sarina Wiegmann's side's toughest test so far as they take on a Spain team who qualified ahead of a strong Denmark in Group B. However, the Spanish are without their talismanic Ballon D'Or winning midfielder Alexia Putellas, who suffered an ACL injury on the eve of the tournament.

They finished second in their group, behind an extremely strong Germany side and will be hoping that they can spring a surprise in Brighton this evening. One big question on the lips of England fans is whether or not the impressive Alessia Russo will start the match after her three goals in three substitute appearances so far.

Despite the absence of Putellas, Spain will pose a significant threat to England's progression in the tournament, with the bulk of the Barcelona squad who have dominated the sport in recent years making up an impressive starting XI.

Here is all the information you need ahead of tonight's crucial fixture.

The match will kick off at 8pm GMT on Wednesday, July 20 and will be played at the Amex Stadium, Brighton.

The match will be broadcast live on BBC One, with coverage starting from 7:30pm.

It will also be shown live on the BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport website.

Having been by far the most exciting team of the tournament so far, England will face a very different challenge tonight in the face of a Spain side who enjoy possession of the ball but have taken a rather conservative approach so far.

In the heat of Brighton, they will be required to keep cool heads and choose the right moments to press hard and give their exciting forwards a chance to create goal-scoring opportunities.

Spain have lacked cutting edge and England have been unbeatable so far in the tournament in defence, so there is little evidence that a Spanish onslaught could be coming The Lionesses' way, but they will need to play with more tactical structure than has been required in their last two games.

If they can do that, then a comfortable win should be coming their way - 2-0 England
