BBC commentator Robyn Cowen, the Telegraph's women's football reporter Kathryn Batte and David Walker gather to look ahead to big world cup qualifiers for the Lionesses. They take on Spain at Wembley on Tuesday before heading to Iceland on Saturday, with the fitness of captain Leah Williamson and what the defence would look like without her among the main talking points ahead of the crunch ties.

We also look at the surprise call-up of 17-year-old Erica Meg Parkinson who plays in Portugal and would be eligible to represent Japan, Singapore or Portugal so will we see her make a cameo appearance just to lock her in as certified Lioness?

Ali also provides a youth team update from the March camp.

England lose 1-0 to Japan at Wembley to round off a strange, experimental camp. It was rubbish to watch. How much does it matter?

Ali, Dave and George dig into a disjointed attacking setup, a tough night for Phil Foden and Cole Palmer, and what this means (if anything) for the World Cup pecking order under Thomas Tuchel.

Ali and Dave gather to reflect on the 48 hours of reaction since the Uruguay friendly and to look ahead to the Japan game on Tuesday

Who gets the right wing spot now there's no Saka - Bowen or Palmer? Is this the most important game of Morgan Rogers' career so far? Is "mini Valverde" James Garner primed to start again in Rice's absence? Will Tuchel throw a curveball and play Ezri Konsa at right-back?

And, if we're honest, how much does any of it actually matter when it comes to Tuchel's final world cup squad?
