Previous Women's EURO quarter-finals 30/07/2017: Austria 0-0 Spain (aet, Austria won 5-3 on pens, Tilburg)

Group A runners-up England 1-0 Austria (Old Trafford) Austria 2-0 Northern Ireland (Southampton) – Schiechtl 19, Naschenweng 88 Austria 1-0 Norway (Brighton & Hove) – Billa 37

Previous Women's EURO quarter-finals 03/09/2009: Finland 2-3 England (Turku) 30/07/2017: England 1-0 France (Deventer)

Group A winners England 1-0 Austria (Old Trafford) – Mead 16 England 8-0 Norway (Brighton & Hove) – Stanway 12pen, Hemp 15, White 29 41, Mead 34 38 81, Russo 66 Northern Ireland 0-5 England (Southampton) – Kirby 41, Mead 45, Russo 48 53, Burrows 76og

Story so far: A record 14 goals without reply in the group stage is quite a statement from this England side. You imagine Sarina Wiegman won't have any complaints but you also sense she will be demanding even more. Tougher tests are to come, though with chants of "It's Coming Home" ringing out around St Mary's at full time against Northern Ireland, the nation is expectant, and this group have shown to date they can handle the pressure. It is not a get-over-the-line style of football we've witnessed, it's been dominant and full of style and vigour. Let's hope the knockout stages follow suit.

Previous Women's EURO quarter-finals 03/09/2009: Netherlands 0-0 France (aet, Netherlands won 5-4 on pens, Tampere) 22/07/2013: France 1-1 Denmark (aet, Denmark won 4-2 on pens, Linköping) 30/07/2017: England 1-0 France (Deventer)

Group D winners France 5-1 Italy (Rotherham) – Geyoro 9 40 45, Katoto 12, Cascarino 38 France 2-1 Belgium (Rotherham) – Diani 6, Mbock Bathy 41 18/07: Iceland vs France (20:00, Rotherham)

Story so far: On Matchday 1, France had a thunderclap moment in Rotherham, putting five goals past Italy side to underline their title credentials. They were the first side to score five in the first half of a Women's EURO game (though England soon trumped them on that front), while Grace Geyoro completed her hat-trick before the interval (another first). A narrow win against Belgium sealed progress for Corinne Diacre's side, but Marie-Antoinette Katoto's injury overshadowed that night. The Paris striker was billed as a potential finals star: will Les Bleues be the same without her?

Previous Women's EURO quarter-finals04/09/2009: Germany 2-1 Italy (Lahti) 21/07/2013: Italy 0-1 Germany (Växjö) 30/07/2017: Germany 1-2 Denmark (Rotterdam)

Group B winners Germany 4-0 Denmark (Brentford) – Magull 21, Schüller 57, Lattwein 78, Popp 86 Germany 2-0 Spain (Brentford) – Bühl 3, Popp 37 16/07: Finland vs Germany (20:00, Milton Keynes)

Story so far: Germany may have flown under the radar heading into the tournament, but they wasted no time announcing their intentions of reclaiming the trophy for a record-extending ninth time. Even two tough tests against 2017 runners-up Denmark and a highly touted Spain side never seemed to rattle them, as they scored six and conceded none on their way to topping the group with a match to spare. It’s hard to pick one standout player, as they have operated as a seamless unit from back to front. Their defence has been rock solid, while Lina Magull, Klara Bühl and a resurgent Alex Popp have had plenty of fun finding the back of the net. This team spirit can take them far, coupled with their mix of experienced and young players who are finding their groove at the perfect time.

Quarter-final stats only apply since 2009; pre-1995 quarter-finals were not part of the final tournament.
