Arsenal will look to bounce back from their first defeat of the WSL season this weekend when they face Everton.

Arsenal have won 13 matches in a row against the Toffees - the joint longest winning streak against a single side in WSL history.

Arsenal team news
Arsenal remain without Beth Mead, who continues her recovery from an ACL tear. Kim Little and Lina Hurtig are also absent through injury.
The Gunners have been boosted by the return of Leah Williamson and Rafaelle. The centre-back duo have both been sidelined for two months, but manager Jonas Eidevall confirmed they are both fit to return to the match day squad on Saturday.
Everton team news
Everton will be without five players for Saturday's fixture. Clare Wheeler is out with a short-term injury, Izzy Christiansen picked up a knee injury before the Toffees' defeat to Manchester City but is expected to return soon, Katrine Veje is continuing to rehab from a knee injury and Megan Finnigan is also out with a knee problem. Gio is ineligible to play against her parent club.
Everton have been boosted by the return of Nicoline Sorensen, following over a year on the sidelines with an ACL injury.
Arsenal vs Everton score prediction
Everton gave Manchester City a really good game last time out in the WSL, suffering a narrow 2-1 loss. They have thoroughly improved, particularly defensively, under Brian Sorensen in just a few short months and could prove a really difficult test for this injury-hit Arsenal side.
However, Everton have injury problems of their own, and the Gunners may benefit from having had a rare weekend off. Although it will be a tightly-fought contest, they should just edge it.
