Midday at the Merseyside brings a match wrapped in tension: Chelsea Women arrive second in the table after stalling against Arsenal, a result that opened the door for Manchester City to break away. That
stumble allowed the leaders to stretch the gap to four points, leaving today’s game in hand as a necessary lifeline rather than a luxury.
Across from them stands the hosts in Liverpool with just one point from eight league matches, a team sinking fast yet forever capable of throwing Chelsea off rhythm when least expected. Stakes are sharp, and margins for error thinner still.
Liverpool starting eleven:
Kirby | Fisk (c), Clark, Evans, Woodham, Nagano, Kerr, Kapocs, Enderby, Olsson, Holland
Substitutes from: Laws, Borggrafe, Parry, Szymczak, Kiernan, Lundgaard, Maclean, Bonner, Silcock
Chelsea starting lineup (4-2-3-1):
