England finished their Women's Euro 2022 Group A campaign with a 100% record after cruising to a 5-0 win over Northern Ireland on Friday night.

It followed a record-breaking 8-0 demolition of Norway and 1-0 tournament-opening victory versus Austria; the Lionesses' 14 group stage goals set a new Women's Euro record.

Sarina Wiegman and her side will now be entirely focused on a huge quarter-final clash - but who will that be against?

Who will England play in the quarter-finals?

As the winners of Group A, England will face the runners-up from Group B in the first of the four quarter-finals.

That will be either Spain or Denmark, who go head-to-head at the Brentford Community Stadium on Saturday night in a straight shoot-out for a place in the knockout stages.

Spain currently occupy second spot ahead of Denmark on goal difference, so a draw will be good enough for them to advance and meet England.

When will England's quarter-final take place?

England vs Spain or Denmark will be played on Wednesday, July 20, with kick-off at 8pm BST.

Which stadium is hosting England's quarter-final?

The Lionesses will return to the scene of their historic trouncing of Norway for their quarter-final tie: the Amex Stadium, home of Brighton & Hove Albion.
