England are ready to play Australia in a double-header later this year.

Gareth Southgate's Three Lions will face Australia in a Wembley friendly on October 13, while the England womens team play the Matildas at Brentford on April 11.

Southgate said: "This will be a good challenge for us as Australia performed well at the World Cup despite against having four tough opponents.

"I imagine there will be a strong Aussie contingent in London for both games.

"We all know the sporting rivalry between our two countries and that alone will add an extra edge."
