Australia boss Tony Gustavsson mischievously starts mind games with England ahead of Women's World Cup clash

England have made the last four by winning all five of their matches so far against Haiti, Denmark, China, Nigeria and Colombia.

As for the Aussies, they've beaten the Republic of Ireland, Canada, Denmark and France - with a 3-2 loss to Nigeria the only blotch on their record.

And manager Gustavsson has now dubbed England favourites ahead of the semi-final clash.

"If you look at rankings they're favourites, if you look at where their players play, they have starting players in top clubs in top leagues all over the world," he said.

"Not just the starting 11, down to 15, 16. We have bench players in those teams. We have players playing in mid-table teams in Sweden.

"So if you look at all that and you look at resources, financially, obviously they are massive favourites going into this game."

However, the 50-year-old also admitted that Australia are likely to have the backing of the crowd.

"But the one thing that we have that they don't have is the support and belief from the fans," he continued.

"That in itself is going to be massive tomorrow."

The Stadium Australia is set for a huge crowd in the region of 75,000.

And Australia supporters have even been buying tickets in the England end after a code was shared online.

One player hoping to feature for the Matildas is Sam Kerr.

The 29-year-old is one of the best players in the world but, due to injuries, has been limited to cameo appearances so far.

Gustavsson was coy when asked about Kerr and whether she'd be able to start.

"There'll be a meeting tonight again to see the best starting 11, the best finishing 11 and whether we plan for 90 minutes or plan for an extra time," he said.

"There'll be some tough decisions again tonight but Sam is definitely available for selection."

And the Australia manager is also expecting a tough game.

"All it takes is one moment," he stated.

"That's why you need to play in every single moment out there ... like that one moment can decide whether you win or lose.

"You need to live in every single moment because that's how small the margins are in the semi-final or final."

England star Keira Walsh, meanwhile, believes the pressure is all on Australia due to their status as hosts.

"That is a different thing to cope with," said the Barcelona star.

"But they are a great team, whether they feel the pressure or not. The way they play, they don't look like they feel it.

"They are very physical and we have to be ready for that. It's just about going in confident and playing on the front foot.

"When you're playing against it and can quieten the crowd, it's a nice feeling.

"There's positives and negatives to both [sides]. We experienced it against Colombia in the quarter-finals."
