Right then, let's get down to business. The players are out on the pitch and it is time for the national anthems.

England manager Sarina Wiegman speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live:

"It's a chance to win a prize, and as you know we always want to win prizes. Besides that, it is also a game in preparation for the World Cup. I hope this game can give us even more information about where we stand as a team, and where individuals are at the moment.

On what sort of test opponents Brazil may provide: "[Despite a few injuries] I think they still have some very, very good players in their squad. We have watched them a lot and they are really good. Their style of play, they have used it over long a period of time, so they will not all of a sudden change [for this game]. They will challenge us tactically, so we will see on Thursday how we execute [countering] that. "

England captain Leah Williamson speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live:

On being back at Wembley again after last summer's Euros triumph: "It's almost like a dream. I do remember crying over there [on the Wembley pitch] on my knees for some time, consistently for about 20 minutes after the final whistle.

On the chance to lift another trophy with England:

"It would be massive. Obviously this year is about World Cup preparations, qualification is done so you start to focus on that [the tournament itself]. To have this [the Finalissima] in the middle, the chance to put our names in the history books again [as the first winners], is something that this team is focussed on doing, and something that this team wants to do. Everything that we do, we are in it to win it.

On Arsenal teammate and Brazil captain Rafaelle Souza: "It's actually going to be a really nice moment [the pennant exchange and handshake between captains]. It reminds me of the first game of the Euros against Austria, it was Viki Schnaderbeck. There's a moment to compete, but also you get the chance to take it all in. It's nice to be able to have such moments with your mates."

It [Wembley] feels like home for the Lionesses it really does. And the more normal it gets, selling out Wembley, the better.

They deserve it. The game deserves it. The level of football that they are producing under Sarina Wiegman deserves it.

It's another fantastic occasion tonight.

We spoke to Lucy Parker at St George's Park this week after her recall to the squad.

She was selected in September but had to withdraw through injury and is still waiting on her first cap.

"It was a hard time and I had to wrap my head around what had happened. Mentally it was one of the toughest things I’ve experienced," said Parker.

"Playing for England has always been the main goal. There’s always that stress of thinking ‘will my chance come again?'"

After returning to fitness with West Ham, Parker did enough to get Wiegman's attention again.

"I was cleaning my bathroom and missed her call. Then we played phone hookie for a while and I eventually got hold of her!

"It was happiness and relief that the chance had come back again. I was proud. The second she hung up I rang my mum."

It’s a hive of activity on the Wembley pitch as both squads come out to warm up.

Brazil headed out first to polite applause but the noise levels were definitely raised when the Lionesses came out.

Brazil, ranked ninth in the world, have a familiar face at their helm in legendary Swedish coach Pia Sundhage.

She previously coached both Sweden and the United States, winning Olympic gold with the latter in 2008 and 2012 as well as taking them to the 2011 World Cup final.

The 63-year-old has certainly left her mark on English soil.

She scored the winning penalty against England as her country won the inaugural European Championship in 1984 at Luton's Kenilworth Road.

Five years later, she got the opening goal in England women's first official match at Wembley - a 2-0 victory for Sweden.

I watched Brazil's training session at Wembley yesterday and they did lots of possession drills but did not give much away.

Brazilian journalist Julia Belas Trindade, who writes regularly for the Guardian, told me manager Pia Sundhage could tinker with her formation as she's keen to try new things before the World Cup.

They have lots of injuries which has impacted their consistency this year but they are hopeful of competing with England.

We weren't the only ones who watched the Brazil team train this week either...

Men's international Richarlison, who plays for Tottenham, came down to watch the women on Tuesday, sporting Debinha's name on the back of his shirt - and he's here with his family tonight.

Apparently he told the players if they won he would host a BBQ for them back in his hometown Vitoria - the capital city of Espirito Santo state in southeast Brazil.

Brazil are the hardest opposition they have faced this year. They are ranked ninth in the world, they are the dominant force in South American football, and they won their fourth Copa America in a row last summer - their eighth in total.

But they are missing some big players through injury, including the legendary Marta. She may be in the twilight of her career at 37 years old, but she is still such an icon for the national side.

This is a really big chance for England to lift another trophy, and on the same stage of their greatest triumph last summer.

Arsenal and Brazil defender Rafaelle Souza IS the only England-based player in Brazil's squad and she comes up against her Gunners team-mate Leah Williamson tonight.

Brazil are warming up in front of us and they look really sharp, moving the ball really well.

Sarina Wiegman stated in the build up to the game that you don't really know what you're going to get from Brazil, and that's what makes this game even more exciting.

But when you look at the Lionesses and the way they have built this 4-3-3 structure, they look solid, and there is goals basically everywhere on the pitch - I think they'll probably have a little bit too much for Brazil tonight.

Plenty of England fans are donning St George’s flags and other England-themed adornments to show their support to the Lionesses.

England revealed their World Cup kit earlier in the week and will be wearing it tonight.

There is a lot of interest in the new kit - which includes a switch to blue shorts after period concerns wearing white - in the official merchandise stores outside the stadium.

And there are quite a few takers for the official Finalissima t-shirts and hoodies too.

The atmosphere around women's football right now is really exciting.

To have the first ever Finalissima here at Wembley and for there to be a trophy up for grabs, it's great.

England love winning. They've instilled that mentality in the side. And they will want to continue that unbeaten streak [29 matches].

There's live commentary on this game on BBC Radio 5 live. Tune in via this page or the BBC Sounds App.

The latest episode of The Football News Show is out. This week, Ben Croucher is joined by Jo Currie and former England captain Faye White to discuss if England can turn their European success last summer into World Cup glory later this year.

The programme also speaks to US soccer journalist Meg Swanick about how the world champions are preparing to defend their title and ask if they fear England?

It’s thronging outside Wembley as thousands of fans arrive on the Underground, trains and buses.

There are a number of Brazil fans proudly displaying their country’s flag and plenty purchasing the now obligatory half-and-half scarves at such matches.

There's grey skies around Wembley Stadium but the atmosphere is certainly not gloomy.

It's been packed along Wembley Way since as early as 2pm this afternoon with thousands pouring off the London Underground.

There was a pre-match fan festival at BoxPark taking place and there have been supporters in their seats inside the stadium for hours already.

"Hang on a minute, what is the Finalissima?" I hear you ask.

Well, It's a one-off game between the champions of Europe and South America, although it's not one that happens very often.

Last year brought the first Finalissima since 1993, with Argentina's men's team beating Italy 3-0 at Wembley.

Three Finalissimas have taken place in total - the first was in 1985, with France defeating Uruguay in Paris - but it has never featured women's teams before.
