Women's football returns to the ´óÏó´«Ã½ on Sunday with live coverage of the first leg of in Shrewsbury on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Three and the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Sport website from 1900 BST. We will also have live coverage of the second leg, too, which is to be played in Wohlen on Thursday, 16 September.
The Women's World Cup has been extended to 16 teams for the 2011 tournament, which is being hosted by reigning world and European champions Germany. Uefa was given just four other guaranteed places in the finals, so eight qualifying groups have provided eight winners who now play-off in four matches.
England, who avoided the Scandinavian powers of Denmark, Norway and Sweden as well as France and Italy, will start firm favourites against a country that has never played in the Women's World Cup finals before and is 17 places below them in the world rankings.
