England v Spain (20:00 BST)
It's a big day for both sets of fans, who are out in force at the Amex.
If England's previous game there is anything to go by, it should be a cracking atmosphere.

Izzy Christiansen
Everton and England midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live
When you look at the two teams, England have a defensive midfielder in Keira Walsh and we've spoken a lot about how she's the fulcrum of this England team.
I was worried at the start of the tournament that Walsh may be isolated during transitional moments because of the offensive qualities of Fran Kirby and Georgia Stanway, and would that leave England vulnerable.
I think that question will be answered tonight because Stanway will have to play an unselfish role closer to Walsh to ensure they have two in front of the back four because Spain can be so dominant in possession in midfield.
That's a key area for England. If they get that right they'll be well on their way.

Spain are known for their possession-based football and have built their team around a core of Barcelona players who reached successive Champions League finals and dominated their domestic scene.
Everton midfielder Izzy Christiansen described the players as having "an innate ability to keep the ball and dominate possession", but they have struggled to convert that possession into goals.
They controlled 74% of the ball against Denmark on Saturday night, but they only scored once despite having 17 shots. Their tally of five goals in their three group games is fewer than all the quarter-finalists except outsiders Belgium and Austria.
"We know they have a lot of threats but we also know there are a lot of opportunities to exploit them, so we'll definitely try and do that," said England winger Lauren Hemp.

The challenge starts for England in around 40 minutes...

Rachel Brown-Finnis
Ex-England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live
The same 11 shows that Sarina backs her team to take their game to Spain. And she knows that it's not just backing the starting 11 to do a job, it's backing the players coming off the bench to do a job because they have, they've scored in every single game.
I wouldn't be surprised if England are too strong in the midfield area where Spain like to dominate possession. I wouldn't be surprised if England execute their gameplan and don't need to make changes tactically. But if they do, we have the best manager in the world to make those in-game changes.

The atmosphere was building up nicely around the stadium about two hours before kick-off.
There's fans enjoying a cold pint on a bus rooftop, while some stands are even selling scarves (in this weather!?)
We saw plenty of fans along the Brighton Pier earlier as well. Chelsea midfielder Erin Cuthbert and West Ham defenders Lisa Evans and Grace Fisk were among them.

Here are the highlights of Spain's journey to the last eight of the Euros...

Brighton has been a good host for the Euros.
The streets are lined up with banners promoting the competition and there are posters on bus stops and in shop windows through the main high street shopping area.
There was a decent crowd at the Amex for England's second group game as well. Leah Williamson praised the support in her press conference yesterday.
However, there is real concern today that the weather - which has caused serious delays and cancellations across the country's public transport system - could affect those attending the match.
There are several members of the media who were unable to get here in time but hopefully fans with tickets don't have to miss out too!

Alex Scott
Former England defender on The One Show
It's another sold-out stadium. I'm not surprised. England have been playing so well.
This will be a real test. England are scoring goals for fun and they're yet to concede. They go into this as favourites.
I'm nervous. I'm going 2-0 to England.
England v Spain (20:00 BST)
You've still time to listen to our Daily Euros podcast before this game starts.
On it, Emma Saunders is joined by England legend Kelly Smith, Everton midfielder Izzy Christiansen and the Telegraph’s Luke Edwards to look ahead to England’s quarter-final against Spain on Wednesday.
Vicki Sparks gives us the lowdown from the England camp and whether Sarina Wiegman will be pitchside after missing their last group game due to covid. We’ll hear from the England manager and captain Leah Williamson. The guys discuss how big an impact Wiegman’s absence will have had on the team’s preparations and whether or not going out at this stage of the tournament will be seen as a failure.
French football journalist Julien Laurens joins us to discuss France’s chances against Netherlands and how the French will cope without injured star striker Marie-Antoinette Katoto And Dutch sports writer from De Telegraaf Lars van Soest tells us about Lieke Martens being ruled out of the rest of the Euros with a foot injury and how that will affect Netherlands’ hopes of retaining the trophy.
England v Spain (20:00 BST)
Let's get the basics out of the way...
Here is how the quarter-finals of these Euros are set up:
The first of those games is, of course, tonight as England face Spain in a heavyweight clash at Brighton's Amex Stadium.
You can follow that via this live text commentary, on BBC One and on BBC Radio 5 Live. Both the TV and radio options will be available via this web page by using the relevant play buttons at the top.
England v Spain (20:00 BST)
The last time these two sides met was at the invitational Arnold Clark Cup, at Carrow Road. The game ended 0-0, which isn't exactly the trailer we wanted for tonight's clash.
Since then though, England have been a winning, goalscoring machine. They've been victorious in their last nine games, with that goalless draw the only game the Lionesses have failed to score in 17 under manager Sarina Wiegman. They've scored a stunning 98 times in those games.
England have also never lost against Spain when facing them at home, with four wins and three draws. However, La Roja were the last team to emerge victorious in a meeting of these sides, winning 1-0 at the SheBelieves Cup in 2020.

The news Sarina Wiegman has returned is significant because she is so well liked by both England’s players and fans.
She brings a calming presence to the squad and a sense of organisation which will be invaluable for this quarter-final.
If the fans weren’t already pumped up for a Euro 2022 quarter-final, they will be even more so now hearing that news just hours before kick-off.
As one supporter said to me earlier, “that’s made my day!”
England v Spain (20:00 BST)
England have been playing the waiting game in the build-up to this quarter-final, to see if boss Sarina Wiegman will be able to attend the game.
Wiegman missed Friday's win over Northern Ireland after testing positive for Covid but said she was "feeling well and ready to go" ahead of the Spain clash.
Yep, she's now clear and ready to rock and roll for tonight's quarter-final.
The Football Association confirmed on Wednesday the Dutchwoman had tested negative and "would return to all elements of her role".

England manager Sarina Wiegman is back in the dugout and she has named the same unbeaten side for the fourth game in a row.
It means Manchester United forward Alessia Russo, who came off the bench to score twice against Northern Ireland, remains a substitute.
The tournament top scorer Beth Mead is among those in the starting line-up.
England XI: Earps, Bronze, Bright, Williamson, Daly, Walsh, Stanway, Kirby, Hemp, White, Mead.
Spain have made four changes to the side who beat Denmark.
Real Madrid midfielder Teresa Abelleira makes her first start of the tournament.
Forward Athenea del Castillo is one of the regulars to drop to the bench. Esther Gonzalez starts up top.
Spain XI: Panos, Batlle, Paredes, Leon, Carmona, Bonmati, Guijarro, Abelleira, Cardona, Gonzalez, Caldentey.
