Rachel Daly will hope to power England into the quarter-finals of the Women's World Cup this morning.
The Lionesses take on Nigeria at 8.30am at Brisbane Stadium in Australia in a match broadcast live on BBC One.
The winners will play either Columbia or Jamaica in the last eight on Saturday.
Harrogate-born Rachel Daly has played a major role in the Lionesses' success so far, even though she has been selected as a left-back rather than as a striker.
The former Killinghall Nomads player, whose mother still lives in Harrogate, scored in the 6-1 rout of China in the final group match. Daly also played the full 90 minutes in the 1-0 defeat of Denmark and came on as a substitute in the opening win against Haiti.
England, who have reached the last two Women's World Cup semi-finals, are firm favourites to advance from this morning's match.
But the tournament has seen numerous shocks already, with defending champions the United States crashing out yesterday on penalties to Sweden.
