England v Netherlands: Confirmed line-ups as Beth Mead is dropped for crunch clash

England head into this afternoon’s Women’s Euro 2025 clash with the Netherlands knowing they have little margin for error.

Having lost to France on Saturday, the defending champions will crash out of the tournament if they suffer another setback in Zurich.

It certainly won’t be easy against a Dutch side that Lionesses boss Sarina Wiegman coached to European success in 2017.

Wiegman has resisted the temptation to make sweeping changes following a lacklustre display against the French.

Beth Mead is the only player left out with Ella Toone coming in and Lauren James switching to the right side of midfield.

England: Hampton; Bronze, Williamson. Greenwood, Carter; Walsh, Stanway; James, Toone, Hemp; Russo
