Sheffield United Women v Everton Women preview: kick-off time, team news and form
Everton Women are back in Women's League Cup action on Wednesday 28th October, making the trip to the Attis Arena to face Sheffield United Women in a WSL Players Cup League Phase clash, with kick-off set for 7.00pm UK time.
There's plenty riding on this one in Group A. Everton currently sit fourth in the standings having won both their games so far, while Sheffield United have had a much tougher time of it, sitting bottom of the group after one defeat and one draw. A win for Everton here would keep the pressure on the teams above them and strengthen their push towards qualification from the group.
In terms of league form, Everton come into this on the back of a solid run in the competition itself - their last two Women's League Cup outings have both ended in wins, beating Birmingham at home before following up with another victory over Newcastle. Sheffield United, by contrast, have found this tournament difficult, having lost their previous Women's League Cup fixture before a goalless draw against Nottingham Forest in their most recent outing.
Everton go into this one sitting seventh in the Women's Super League, a reminder that their focus is split between domestic league business and cup progress. In all competitions, Everton's recent run has been mixed, with wins sandwiched between defeats, while Sheffield United's record across all competitions shows some fight despite sitting at the wrong end of this Players Cup group.
The venue itself is worth a mention for travelling Evertonians - Sheffield United's Women's side play their home games at the Attis Arena, based in Scunthorpe, so it's a longer midweek trip than the name might suggest for those following the Blues on the road.
No team news or injury details have been confirmed ahead of this one, so it remains to be seen what selection calls both sides make for a match that matters more to Everton in terms of the group table, given Sheffield United's tougher campaign so far this season.
Kick-off is at 7.00pm UK time on Wednesday 28th October - keep an eye on Everton's official channels and local coverage for updates as the Blues look to make it three wins from three in the group phase.
