The match is the first of 10 qualifiers for the 2023 World Cup and former Netherlands boss Wiegman is impressed with what she has seen so far in the England group.
She said: “I’ve seen many things. First of all, an enormous, great work ethic. I’m very excited I can work with the team, but they work so hard, sometimes we have to ask just to slow down a little bit.
“There’s very much quality. We had some principles we brought in, and they are just going for it and they really want to do very well. What I know is we have a very good team, that the players are very willing to become better, to work together, very eager to learn.
“The ingredients are here to perform really well. We want a good win, scoring a lot of goals and conceding none. We want to show how good we are and make the English crowd proud of us.”
