Preview: Everton Ladies vs. Brighton & Hove Albion Women - prediction, team news, lineups

sportsmole.co.uk, 19 May 2023, 20:39
After suffering two heavy defeats, Everton Ladies will be looking for a positive response when they welcome Brighton & Hove Albion Women to Walton Hall Park for Sunday's Women's Super League contest.

Brighton, meanwhile, will be looking to claim their first away league victory since beating West Ham United in November.

Match preview

Everton will be reeling from a couple of demoralising defeats against two of the best sides that the WSL have to offer.

After being hammered 7-0 by Chelsea on May 7, the Toffees were swept aside in Wednesday's home meeting with the Gunners.

Arsenal surged into a four-goal lead before half time, and although Katja Snoeijs scored a late consolation, it would have done little to lift the mood as they fell to a 4-1 loss.

Despite experiencing a couple of poor rules, sixth-placed Everton are still on course to achieve a top-half finish with five points separating them from city rivals Liverpool, who are in seventh position.

If the Toffees are to pick up a positive result on Sunday then the first goal could be crucial, as Everton have lost all five league games this season when they have conceded the first goal.

Brighton will be hoping to mathematically secure their place in the WSL this weekend, with the ninth-placed side currently five points clear of basement side Reading.

The Seagulls could be safe before they even take to the pitch at Walton Hall Park if Reading fail to beat Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

Even if Brighton's top-flight status is secured by the time they face Everton, they will be keen to claim a positive result after suffering a heavy defeat to Arsenal in their most recent outing.

The Gunners racked up four goals in a dominant first-half display to condemn Melissa Phillips's side to a disappointing 4-0 home defeat.

Having failed to win any of their last seven away league games, Brighton will be hoping to end their winless run in their final away trip of the 2022-23 season.
