The opening weekend of the new WSL campaign will serve up one of English football’s fiercest rivalries, as Liverpool welcome Everton to Anfield for a Sunday afternoon Merseyside derby.

There was barely a cigarette paper between the two clubs last season, with just a single point separating them in the final standings. For Liverpool, though, frustration boiled over, and a poor run of form saw Matt Beard dismissed in February. Amber Whitley steadied the ship until the summer, when Gareth Taylor was handed the reins on a permanent basis.

Off the pitch, Everton also made headlines by confirming Goodison Park will now host all of their home games, a decision that keeps the iconic stadium alive and kicking. On the field, Brian Sorensen’s side had a mixed bag of results in pre-season, easing past FC Midtjylland before being edged out by Juventus.

Taylor’s arrival signals a fresh chapter for the Reds, who look re-energised after a strong pre-season. The new boss has already bolstered his squad with four additions: Rafaela Borggrafe, Sam Kerr, Kirsty Maclean, and Lily Woodham. Still, the sting of losing Olivia Smith — last year’s PFA Young Player of the Year — to Arsenal for a world-record £1 million fee remains sharp, with no like-for-like replacement yet secured.

Summer recruit Rafaela Borggrafe is tipped to take her place as the new first-choice goalkeeper. Fellow arrivals Sam Kerr, Kirsty Maclean, and Lily Woodham are also expected to slot straight into Gareth Taylor’s starting XI. Leading them out at Anfield will be Grace Fisk, who was officially handed the captain’s armband earlier this week.

Everton Women team news

Everton have been the busier movers in the market, bringing in seven fresh faces during a hectic summer while waving goodbye to eight others. It means the Toffees could line up with a very different look compared to the side that faced Liverpool last season. The standout addition came late in the window, with Ruby Mace joining from Leicester in a deal that smashed the club’s transfer record.

Everton’s record signing Ruby Mace is a doubtful starter, having only completed her move from Leicester on Wednesday. Manager Brian Sørensen admitted there’s an outside chance she could feature, but the likelihood is the Toffees will lean more heavily on other summer signings.

Players such as Martina Fernandez, Rion Ishikawa, Maz Pacheco, Katie Robinson, and Ornella Vignola all impressed during pre-season and are in line to be involved as Everton aim to spoil the Reds’ fresh start in front of a home Anfield crowd.
