da bwin： Lionesses head coach Sarina Wiegman has a huge selection dilemma ahead of the final as one of the team's brightest stars returns from suspension
da betano casino： England will play in a first ever Women's World Cup final on Sunday, taking on Spain in Sydney. It's going to be an extremely difficult task, and a different challenge altogether against a team that will have more of the ball, and head coach Sarina Wiegman has a huge selection dilemma for it, too.
After being sent off in the last 16, Lauren James is available again. The Chelsea star was the most impressive performer in the group stages but has missed the Lionesses' last two games after deliberately stepping on Nigeria defender Michelle Alozie. Will she return to the starting XI, then?
The logical answer may seem obvious: Yes. Why not? She's been outstanding and has incredible match-winning qualities. But Ella Toone scored a fantastic goal against Australia in the semi-finals and put in her best performance of the tournament at the same time. Does she deserve to keep her place? And would James then be a great impact sub for later in the game?
It's a huge decision that Wiegman has to make. As she ponders it, let GOAL have its say on how England should line up against Spain…

An easy one. Mary Earps has been England's No.1 goalkeeper throughout the whole tournament and that isn't going to change for the final. A bit of a blunder for Colombia's goal in the quarter-finals aside, the Manchester United shot-stopper has been excellent.

A strong performer throughout the tournament, Jess Carter has grown and grown with each game that has passed on England's run to the final. Her positioning and one-v-one defending are absolutely fantastic, and have allowed her to deal with any threats she's come up against.
GettyCB: Millie Bright
After a rusty start to the tournament, Millie Bright has been absolutely brilliant for England. As well as being great on the ball, her ability to deal with anything that a team can throw at her has been fantastic.
GettyCB: Alex Greenwood
One of England's best players at this tournament, Alex Greenwood has played three different roles and has been superb in all of them. Operating on the left-hand side of a back three has brought the very best out of her, though, especially in terms of her ability on the ball.
