Liverpool vs Everton score prediction

There has just been minor tinkering this summer to the Liverpool side that stormed to promotion last term, and it showed against Chelsea; they turned in a resilient, disciplined, robust team display to shock the WSL champions.

Everton meanwhile have had a summer of turnover as they continue to rebuild and find their feet under Sorensen. Liverpool should be able to capitalise on the Toffees not yet being at their best under their new boss.

Prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Everton
