Brian Sorensen's side host Merseyside rivals on Friday night, seeking to obtain their first league win in three games. 

Everton enter this game off the back of a goalless draw to ex-manager Willie Kirk's Leicester City side, with the Blues now four games without a win across all competitions. 

Liverpool go into this game with the opportunity of achieving back to back wins following a 2-1 win to Tottenham, courtesy of goals from Emma Koivisto and Missy Bo Kearns. This leaves the Reds seven points away from the relegation zone.

The pairs last meeting was in September last year, where the Toffees comfortably gained a 3-0 victory courtesy of goals from Megan Finnigan, Jess Park and Hanna Bennison.

A possible advantage for Everton could be the Reds poor away form this season, with the team only achieving two points from the six away games.

So far in this season, she has seven appearances for the club as well as three assists. 

The forward joined from Brondby in 2020 where she had an outstanding spell, achieving 29 goals in 42 games. Now that she has fully settled into the league and squad, she could be on her way to achieve these landmark statistics again.
