Katie McCabe will leave the Ireland-England hype to others ahead of Aviva clash

The men have Euro ‘88 and Ray Houghton , Italia ‘90 and Kevin Sheedy , the draws that should have been wins on the road to Euro ‘92 heartache, the shocking scenes in ‘95 and a handful of recent friendlies.There is enough there to stoke feelings of intense rivalry, even if recent years and their most recent friendly clash displayed a gulf between the two that hadn’t been as wide in over four decades.

“For us, it's another stepping stone in order for us to try qualify for the Euros for the first time.” But don’t expect Gleeson to give her side a history lesson in her pre-match team-talk, or to produce a video in the style of Stephen Kenny ahead of the 3-0 Wembley defeat in November 2020. Let’s face it; anything other than an eighth England win in this head-to-head battle would have the needle dancing on the footballing richter scale.

In Mary Earps they have arguably the best goalkeeper in the world, McCabe’s Arsenal teammates Beth Mead and Alessia Russo are goal-machines with 32 strikes in 54 caps and 18 in 37 appearances respectively. “There’s not just the Arsenal girls to look out for. They’ve got a range of quality in players and we’ll make sure to obviously be keeping their strengths at bay.”
