The defending UEFA Women’s European Champions look to get on the winning track on Wednesday, as England prepares to take on the Netherlands.

The Lionesses must get back to doing what they do best - getting through to knockout football - reports The Independent's Jamie Braidwood from Switzerland. England's 2-1 opening loss to France has left their title defence hanging by a thread and it does not get any easier with the 2017 champions up next in Zurich on Wednesday (9 July) England will become the first holders to crash out at the group stage if they lose and France avoid defeat to Wales.

The Lionesses were beaten 2-1 by France in their opener in Zurich, with Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Sandy Baltimore’s goals enough to earn Les Bleues a vital three points. Keira Walsh netted what prove to be just a consolation at the Stadion Letzigrund, as England’s summer campaign got off to the worst possible start.
