Everton Women v Durham Women preview: kick-off time, team news and form
Everton Women are back at Goodison Park on Wednesday 11th November for a 7pm kick-off against Durham Women in the WSL Players Cup, with EvertonFC.com confirming the Merseyside venue hosts this latest group fixture (EvertonFC.com).
There's plenty riding on it in the race for the knockout stages. Everton sit third in Group A on nine points from three games, while Durham prop up the group having lost all four of their outings so far. A win for the Toffees would keep them firmly in contention behind the group's front two.
Everton head into the match in good shape domestically too, sitting 8th in the Women's Super League. Royal Blue Mersey notes the Toffees arrive on the back of a point away at Chelsea on Sunday, where they were cast as underdogs, and now return to Goodison as odds-on favourites against a Durham side playing their football in WSL 2 (Royal Blue Mersey).
In the Women's League Cup specifically, Everton's recent form reads WWW across their last three outings, having beaten Birmingham, Newcastle and Sheffield United in their last three group games. Durham's form in the competition could hardly be more different, with four straight defeats to Manchester United, Burnley, Birmingham and Newcastle leaving them without a point in the group.
Looking at all competitions, Everton's last five games have gone WLWDD, including draws against Manchester United and Chelsea either side of a defeat to Aston Villa, showing a side holding their own against WSL opposition even when results haven't quite gone their way. Durham, by contrast, have lost all five of their last matches in all competitions, shipping goals heavily along the way including a 5-1 defeat to Newcastle in their most recent outing.
Royal Blue Mersey frames this as a chance for Everton to make it four wins in four in this season's Players Cup campaign, and on paper the gulf in form and league level points firmly in the hosts' favour (Royal Blue Mersey). Everton have conceded just once in their three group games so far, while Durham have already shipped 18 goals across their four fixtures.
No team news beyond the general match details has been confirmed ahead of kick-off, with EvertonFC.com's match guide simply pointing fans towards Wednesday night's clash at Goodison Park (EvertonFC.com).
