    Former England midfielder on BBC Two

    "The games previously have been frustrating. The teams England have played have been defensive and today England have got a more attacking team.

    "Hopefully today they will bring that flair, create chances and get goals and go out there with confidence."

    "I am hoping to see England kick start a goal fest.

    "I think the change of formation means more players are in a natural position.

    "I think it will lead to a prolific goal scoring spree."

    England's record in qualifying so far has been very good with three wins and a draw. Of concern, though, is their attacking threat, with goals having been particularly hard to come by recently. They've scored four goals in their previous five games.

    England boss Mark Sampson has made some big decisions for this game, opting not to include Claire Rafferty, Toni Duggan, Eniola Aluko and Katie Chapman in the squad. 

    "Sometimes to get better, you have to make big decisions," said Sampson.

    "Chapman has been fantastic for us, I can't talk highly enough about her. But it will do her good to have a break and come back refreshed."

  6. 'Rachel has forced her way in'published at 17:07 British Summer Time 4 June 2016

    England assistant manager Marianne Spacey on debutant Rachel Daly and Ellen White's inclusion: "Rachel has trained really well and forced her way into the group. 

    "With Ellen you get consistency and a goal scoring mentality in the penalty area. She will help and support Rachel and have conviction in her own game."

    There's a decent buzz about Adams Park as kick-off approaches. England certainly gained themselves plenty of new fans after their World Cup exploits, but they've not been quite so entertaining in recent games.

    They really struggled against Belgium in a lacklustre match on home soil last-time out, perhaps prompting Mark Sampson to shake things up against Serbia.

    The visitors are ranked 45th in the world, 41 places below England. It would suggest that, on paper at least, it is a a good chance for the Lionesses to put on a show today.

    Adams Park, home of Wycombe Wanderers, is the venue for today's game. There were 10,000 fans at Rotherham's New York Stadium for England's previous home qualifier against Belgium, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

    "I was in the stands for that game, and it was really great to be part of the atmosphere and to watch it unfold," said England midfielder Izzy Christiansen. "It was a really good atmosphere and for us as players it spurs us on so much."

    Big game for forward Rachel Daly.

    The 24-year-old from Harrogate has represented England at U15s, U17s, U19s and U23s level but this will be her first appearance for the senior team.

    Mark Sampson rewarded her with a call up after impressing in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) with Houston Dash.

    Hello! Welcome along to our coverage of England women's latest fixture in their bid to qualify for Euro 2017.

    Mark Sampson's side host Serbia looking to close the gap on Group 7 leaders Belgium. England are second on 10 points, four points off the top of the table.

    With this being the first of a double header against Serbia, it is a real chance for the Lionesses to take control of the group.

    This time last year, England's women were about to embark on a World Cup campaign in Canada that would capture the imagination of the public back home.

    Impressive displays, likeable players and a run to the semi-finals of the tournament guaranteed the Lionesses thousands of new fans.

    One year on and England can take a big step towards securing their place at another major tournament.
