England v Scotland: Women's Six Nations rugby union
Show key events only Please turn on JavaScript to use this feature
England are three bonus-point wins out of three in this tournament and a potential Grand Slam-decider looms against France next Saturday if today's match against Scotland in Leicester goes to form. Scotland have not beaten the Red Roses since 1999 and have never defeated them in the Six Nations – they are also depleted by injury and were beaten by Italy last time out. That explains why Scotland are, as kick-off approaches, available at 200-1 to win on one betting website.
For John Mitchell, the England head coach, this tournament is about striking a balance. He wants to try new lineups and partnerships before the Women's Rugby World Cup this summer but establishing a settled side, and giving them a chance to fine-tune and groove those partnerships, should also be a top priority. As of course is winning more silverware.
England will expect to win, and win well, but they've been tested at times in this year's tournament. Accuracy, fluency and execution will be their aim.
Kick-off: 4.45pm BST. Share

No big deal, right? Sadly for Steve Clarke and this Scotland squad, after Friday's horror show at Hampden, they've made this game have a much greater importance than it should. Despite mixing it with the big boys in the Nations League recently, it does seem strange that we can only attract friendlies against the likes of Iceland and tonight's opponents, Liechtenstein. But what was probably seen as a couple of friendlies to get morale back up after the disaster against Greece last time out, suddenly has led to questions over some of the squad and - in particular - Clarke himself. His goalkeeping crisis hasn't helped and he'll need to find someone to play there later after Cieran Slicker's shocker off the bench on Friday in the 3-1 defeat. Scott McTominay and Kieran Tierney have also pulled out the squad ahead of tonight's game, citing injuries. Clarke's decision to remain loyal with some players - particularly those who can't get a game with English League One sides - has been a thorn in his side this last year or so, where only three wins have been picked up in 13 games. Scotland are short odds to win tonight, naturally. And they'll need to make sure that's shown on the park.

Ait-Nouri on verge of Man City deal, Cherki to follow?
Rayan Ait-Nouri's transfer from Wolves to Manchester City should be confirmed later big question is whether Lyon and France midfielder Rayan Cherki joins are keen on Cherki and clearly can do the deal but they will have to move quickly and on Sunday, sources inside the club were calling reports of the transfer being agreed as 'premature'.In a sense, tomorrow's deadline is a bit misleading. That is just to be involved in the start of the Club World Cup. There is an opportunity to add to squads in mid-tournament from 27 June to 3 July that would make players available for the knockout could also ignore the Club World Cup altogether and sign Cherki at a later would appear a bit pointless given the massive financial incentives offered by Fifa for European clubs who go deep into the tournament.I expect City will push hard to get the transfer concluded.
