, with her position being a hot topic before the match on Wednesday, will help

in their battle against Austria.

Many are eyeing the Lionesses heading into the European Championships and Williamson says her team are eager to start their campaign.

In her pre-match press conference, the England skipper said: "I think we're ready for tomorrow. We're not robots and there's going to be nerves.

"We're aware of expectation from external sources but from within the camp it's all about the excitement of it and enjoying it.

"This is my job and if I wasn't ready for it and wasn't enjoying it why would I do it? That's my mentality.

"The team is in a great place. Fitness wise and all of those things in your control we've taken care of and we're in a great place.

"The warm-up games provided us with the tests that we need to see where we are maybe weaker, find out what our strengths are and where we are ultimately and the form we're in.

"They've provided those for us and we've had time to prepare.

"The home support is the 12th man. Sarina has had experience with that and she wants us to embrace it. It's maybe something we've not been as good at that in the past, but we're loving that there will be 77,000 [at Old Trafford] tomorrow and most of them will there for us.

"It's an advantage that we're at home and we'll use it as much as possible and embrace that."
