Preview: Arsenal Women vs. Everton Ladies - prediction, team news, lineups

sportsmole.co.uk, 1 December 2022, 23:54
After their 100% start to the Women's Super League season was ended with a 3-2 defeat to Manchester United, Arsenal Women will look to get their title challenge back on track when they face Everton Ladies on Saturday.

The visitors, meanwhile, have lost their last two WSL games, but they have the chance to claim consecutive victories after beating Sheffield United in the League Cup last weekend.

Match preview

Arsenal began the season in impressive form, winning 13 and drawing one of their opening 14 games in all competitions before they were beaten 3-2 against Man United in their last outing.

The Gunners came from behind to take a 2-1 lead thanks to goals from Frida Maanum and Laura Wienroither, but an 85th-minute equaliser from Millie Turner was followed by Alessia Russo's stoppage-time winner, which helped Man United claim a 3-2 victory to bring an end to Arsenal's 18-game unbeaten league run.

Jonas Eidevall's side were unable to return to winning ways in their most recent outing game against Juventus in the Champions League, but a Vivianne Miedema equaliser ensured the contest resulted in a 1-1 draw.

They will now turn their attention back to league matters, and the second-placed side head into the weekend three points adrift of league leaders Chelsea, although Arsenal have a game in hand over the Blues.

Having enjoyed a run of seven consecutive WSL home victories prior to the defeat to Man United, the Gunners will be confident they can claim three points on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Everton are preparing themselves for another tough test after facing both Manchester clubs in their previous two league games.

A heavy 3-0 defeat to Man United was followed by a narrow 2-1 loss against Manchester City, leaving Everton in eighth place.

They managed to bounce back last weekend when they faced Championship side Sheffield United in the League Cup, with goals from Katja Snoeijs, Hanna Bennison and Jess Park guiding the Toffees to a 3-0 victory.

As a result of that comfortable win, Everton have now won their last three away games in all competitions, keeping clean sheets in all three victories.

Although, with their last 14 competitive meetings with Arsenal ending in defeat, Everton will have their work cut out to pick up at least a point from Saturday's contest.
