 England are gearing up for their Women's World Cup quarter-final clash against Colombia this weekend. The Lionesses will be desperate to put in a better performance than the one they churned out against Nigeria, with the European champions second best for much of the Round of 16 game which was eventually settled on penalties. Victory over their South American counterparts will leave them just one game away from reaching their first ever World Cup final. England will start the match as clear favourites but they will be weary of a Colombia side who have already stunned one European powerhouse so far this tournament. Here is your full brief ahead of England's quarter-final meeting with Colombia. When is England vs Colombia? The game will take place on Saturday, August 12 at 11.30am BST. England held their nerve from the penalty spot against Nigeria (Picture: Naomi Baker – The FA/The FA via Getty Images) The venue will be Stadium Australia in Sydney. How to watch on TV England vs Colombia will be shown live on ITV, with coverage getting underway from 10.45am BST. Viewers will also be able to live stream the game on ITVX. Early team news England will be without star striker Lauren James, who was sent off for a stamp on Nigeria's Michelle Alozie late in the second half. James' fate will now be decided by Fifa's disciplinary committee, who could extend her automatic one match ban into three if it is deemed as violent conduct. In that eventuality, the 21 year-old would play no further part in England's World Cup campaign even if the Lionesses made it to the final. Keira Walsh, who was stretched off during England's group game against Denmark which forced her to sit out the win over China, made it through the Nigeria game unscathed.
