Preview: Liverpool v United Women

A positive result at Prenton Park could be vital as both sides are level on 35 points in the WSL, with United currently fourth ahead of fifth-placed Liverpool on goal difference. 

Marc Skinner's side are unbeaten in our last four matches following last weekend's 1-0 victory at Leicester. Ella Toone's wonder strike in the closing stages proved to be the difference at the King Power Stadium. 

Keep reading for our preview of Sunday's encounter, including how to follow the action, team news and more...

TICKET INFORMATION

Seats for the clash with Emma Hayes's side are available to purchase via our ticketing site. 

WHAT'S THE TEAM NEWS?

Skinner revealed in his press conference prior to the Leicester game last week that full-back Jayde Riviere could be available to face Liverpool.

The Canada international has missed our last four matches after picking up an injury during the Manchester derby in March. 

The boss said: "Jayde Riviere is back training individually. So she's back on the field and training. Hopefully, we can get her back in next week to be in contention for the Liverpool game."

For the home side, goalkeeper Rachael Laws and forward Shanice van de Sanden are both expected to miss the rest of the season through injury. 

THE OPPOSITION

Liverpool were involved in a seven-goal thriller on Wednesday, as they edged out Chelsea 4-3 on home soil. Defender Gemma Bonner scored two of her side's goals, including an injury-time winner. 

Our opponents this weekend have won six of their last 10 matches across all competitions, with two draws and two defeats during that period. 

The Merseysiders can be proud of their achievements this season, which is only their second year back in the WSL, after winning promotion to the top flight in 2022.

As previously mentioned, they are battling United for fourth spot in the league table, and they reached the Adobe Women's FA Cup quarter-finals before exiting at the hands of Leicester. 

PREVIOUS MEETINGS

In the reverse league fixture at Leigh Sports Village in December, Toone's early strike put United ahead before the visitors mounted a comeback to win 2-1.

However, the Reds do have a victory to our name over Matt Beard's side this campaign, as Nikita Parris netted the only goal in a Continental Tyres League Cup tie in November. 

United will be looking to keep up our strong record on our travels against Liverpool, having won three of our four previous trips to Prenton Park, all by a 1-0 scoreline. 

One of the standout fixtures between the two sides is our 6-0 home triumph in the WSL last season, which included goals from Lucia Garcia, Hayley Ladd and Rachel Williams.
