Preamble
Liverpool have a perfect record in the Women’s Super League, albeit with only two games played. Those two victories have been impressive; they defeated Arsenal on the opening day of the campaign and saw off Aston Villa last week. Matt Beard’s side are yet to concede this season and a win at Anfield would see them end the day top of the table.
They will fancy their chances against Everton who are currently pointless in the league. The good news for the Toffees is that Toni Duggan scored win the League Cup in midweek having returned to action following the birth of her daughter earlier this year. If Everton are to leap up the table, they will need a fully firing Duggan to help them but they face a tricky task in the Merseyside derby today.
Kick-off: 4.30pm BST
