Captain Steph Houghton has said that England can win the Women's World Cup.

England start their tournament against France on Tuesday, followed by matches against Mexico and Colombia as they bid to progress from Group F.

"We can't come to a tournament and not believe," Houghton told Sky Sports News.

"We know that we've prepared fully and worked hard and we believe and trust in the gameplan the manager's given us.

"If we stay together there's no doubt we've got some players that have got world-class ability and it's all about performance. As a captain of this side, I fully believe we have the players to potentially go all the way."

The Manchester City captain has made 53 appearances for England, scoring seven goals.
