Hello hello and welcome to coverage of this afternoon’s WSL clash between Manchester United and Everton. Both teams were unsatisfied with their respective results last weekend. United fell to a 3-1 defeat to neighbours Manchester City while Everton were held to a 0-0 draw by Merseyside rivals Liverpool. Marc Skinner’s side faced further disappointment when they slipped down to fifth in the league table for the first time this season.

Everton have scored the fewest goals in the WSL this season (14) but they gave Liverpool quite the fright in the latter stages of last Sunday’s match. Brian Sørensen’s team will feel they can get a result today against a Manchester United side that is very low in confidence.

important events
11 minutes: It’s United’s Howler! Turner passed the ball to defender Le Tissier, who tried to give the ball back to Earps, but her pass was too short and Snoyce intercepted it and poured it into an empty net. Everton has an advantage.
goal! Manchester United 0-1 Everton (Snoyth, 10)
Snois punishes Le Tissier for his grave mistake! Everton take the lead!
7 minutes: As Everton headed straight to the other side of the pitch, Kuehl aimed at goal from a distance and fired a shot just wide of the target. The midfielder’s effort wasn’t bad.
6 minutes: The first chance came when Wheeler’s fierce touch fell directly to Nársund and the ball was passed to Paris. The striker aimed at goal, but her shot went wide.
3 minutes: Toon sent the ball to Gase on the right, who tried to cut inside, but Finnigan lunged and tackled him, sending him flying into the corner. There is nothing Everton can clear from set-pieces.
1 minute: Everton started the game by sending a long ball to Kuehl, but Mannion cleared it. Things were a little choppy in the early going as both teams found their footing.
