Here is all you need to know about Saturday's Women's World Cup games, which feature England and the United States.

With the 2023 Women's World Cup now in full swing, there are another four matches to watch on Saturday in the first four-game day of the tournament.

The Lionesses get their tournament underway when England face Haiti, while defending champions the United States and former winners Japan are also in action in their respective groups. A lot more will be known about some of the tournament favourites by the end of Saturday's action.

Here is everything you need to know about the four matches in the Women's World Cup on 22 July.

Zambia vs Japan - Group C

Zambia and Japan will finish the first round of games in Group C after Spain vs Costa Rica took place on Friday.

Spain are the favourites to win that group, showing their class in their opening 3-0 victory, but Japan are a very good team who will have an eye on coming first ahead of their European counterparts.

Many teams have had disrupted preparations for this tournament. Zambia's coach Bruce Mwape is currently accused of sexual misconduct but is still in position.

England vs Haiti - Group D

There is a huge amount of hope and expectation around the Lionesses ahead of the Women's World Cup. They start their campaign on Saturday morning against Haiti, one of the lowest-ranked teams in the tournament.

The European champions are expected to run out heavy winners against a Haiti side ranked 53rd in the world, but upsets can happen as we have already seen at this tournament. Perhaps the best news for England fans is that this one is not too early in the morning.

Denmark vs China - Group D

There is the potential for this to be a very tight game. Denmark and China are fairly middling teams coming into this tournament and know they are battling each other to finish second in Group D behind England.

Both sides will be hoping Haiti can produce an upset against England, a result that would blow the group wide open and give a real incentive to Denmark and China to grab three points.

USA vs Vietnam - Group E

This is why Saturday could be so revealing. There is a first look at England in mid-morning, but for those in Europe who want to get up really, really early, there is the USWNT's first outing too.

They take on one of the tournament minnows in Vietnam in the first Group E game. The USA are aiming to make history by becoming the first men's or women's team to win the World Cup on three consecutive attempts.

There could be a lot of goals in this one and they might all go to the same team.
