Norway’s weak point is their defending. If England attack this game I think they can maybe score two, three, maybe even four goals.

• All five of England's victories against Norway have been recorded in the last eight meetings between the teams, between 2005 and 2019. Prior to this Norway had won 11 of their 12 matches against England, drawing the other one.

• Norway won the first time they met England at a major tournament in 1995 (2-0) but England have won the last two major tournament fixtures between the teams - 2-0 in the second round of the 2015 World Cup and 3-0 in the 2019 World Cup quarter-final.

• England are unbeaten in their 15 matches under manager Sarina Wiegman, winning 13 and drawing twice. This is England's longest ever unbeaten run.

• Wiegman has won three of her four previous matches against Norway, including the Euro 2017 opening match in which the Netherlands beat Norway 1-0.

• Jill Scott can equal Karen Carney's England record of 32 matches at major tournaments (EUROs/World Cup). She can also equal Carney's record of playing at eight major tournament.

• Since the introduction of the group phase in 1997, Norway have never won their first two fixtures at a European Championship.

Rick: Obvious fine for the Arsenal coach. Suit & white trainers? Unacceptable.

It's not quite nearly 70,000 at Old Trafford - that was something truly special - but the near 30,000 here at the Amex are making plenty of noise. The teams are out to a mighty roar.

Former England manager and current Brighton boss Hope Powell was strolling around the Amex earlier taking in the pre-match atmosphere.

She might be called into action to clear the Seagulls off the pitch which are currently congregating near the box. She must be used to them?

You're playing at this level where you have to be ruthless because you won't get that many chances.

Ian Wright
Former Arsenal striker on BBC One

We're missing chances, we're not putting games away. We're making it hard for ourselves.

We are now in a position where we have to take these chances and see teams off with the level of opposition that we're playing against.

England face their toughest test of the group phase in their second match as Norway are ranked 11th in the world by Fifa.

After the first two matches of Group A, both England and Norway have strengthened their positions with victories. England now have 98% chance of reaching the knockout phase and Norway's chance of doing so is 82%.

We went through the permutations earlier and if England win tonight, they are through as group winners.

That's because if either Austria or Norway finish on six points, and England remained on six points should they lose to Northern Ireland, the tiebreaker would come down to head-to-head which England would lead on.

Does that make sense? Probably not, so you'll just have to trust me.

Following head-to-head in tiebreakers, it goes down to goal difference in head-to-heads and goals scored in head-to-heads. Then it gets very complicated after that.

You'll be able to stay across this game in numerous different ways across BBC channels this evening.

That includes sticking with me for this live text commentary, which will include links at the top to watch or listen to the game. No pressure, though. I totally get it if you want to get to know other coverage. I'm confident you'll be back here come recoupling time around firepit.

You'll be able to watch the game on BBC One and iPlayer, with coverage starting shortly. There is also live commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live. Build-up there is already under way ahead of the 20:00 kick-off.

I'm not surprised it's an unchanged team. We know Sarina Wiegman likes to stick with the same team, she did that in the friendlies. We have a fantastic bench that will come on and change the game if needed.

As a team I think England is better than Norway. But Norway's offence, the talent they have and the play they have together, it's the most collective play we've had in this tournament so far.

England will need to score goals because they cannot guarantee a clean sheet.

One player who is sure to cause problems against England is Chelsea's Guro Reiten.

Reiten, who has won three Women's Super League titles and made the PFA Team of the Year last season, could come up against several of her club team-mates in the England side, including defender Jess Carter.

"Guro is tremendous on the ball. She's got a wonderful left foot and I think she'll be a threat going forward," said Carter.

"But in my opinion, she's nothing that our England team can't handle. We've shared our top tips on her and hopefully the girls will take that into the game and defend as best they can."

Carter is also hoping Norway skipper Maren Mjelde, who has returned following an anterior cruciate ligament injury, will not be "up to scratch" against England.

"She's a phenomenal player but she's obviously not long come back from injury and played as many games," added Carter.

"Maybe that's a slight advantage but she's a top professional, so composed and relaxed. She reads the game so well."

City midfielder Julie Blakstad, who joined the club last summer, is an exciting young talent who has become a regular in the Norway side.

"She scored a great goal [against Northern Ireland]," said club team-mate White. "She's a lovely person and a great talent - and still so young.

"She's got great speed and she's been a great addition to Norway and City. It's going to be exciting to see her at this tournament."

England cricket may have spoken too soon. They are making very light work of their run chase against South Africa. Could well make kick-off yet!
