Liverpool is seeking WSL revenge as Manchester United clears a challenge.
Liverpool is set to face Manchester United at Leigh Sports Village this weekend, with Matt Beard ready to contribute to a better result than last season.
Liverpool is seeking Women’s Super League (WSL) revenge after a frustrating 6-0 loss against Manchester United. The Reds will face Manchester United at Leigh Sports Village on Sunday afternoon, just hours before their Premier League match at Anfield. Although the match may not be as intense as the men’s fixture, a victory over the Red Devils would be sweet for Beard’s side. The match is expected to be a different outcome from the previous 6-0 loss.
Liverpool’s week has been marked by mixed fortunes, with a 1-1 draw against Bristol City and a win over Everton in the Continental League Cup. The point against the Robins was a disappointing result, as Sophie Roman Haug’s header cancelled out Amalie Thestrup’s opener.
Liverpool manager Beard admitted that Bristol had nothing to lose in a tough game, but they didn’t perform to their level. He emphasized that they didn’t have a divine right to win football matches, and today they didn’t. However, Liverpool’s game against Everton was more fruitful, with assistant manager Amber Whiteley leading a 2-1 victory. Although neither side progressed to the knockout stages, the match was competitive, with goals from Haug and Yana Daniels sealing the victory for the visitors.
The match saw positives like Sofie Lundgaard’s impressive performances and Lucy Parry’s academy graduate status, but the Reds face a tougher test this weekend.
Manchester United is currently fourth in the table, three points and one place above Liverpool, and they aim to end 2023 on a high. Liverpool will face Manchester United in a tough match, as they have made significant progress over the last year. Liverpool manager, Robbie Beard, believes United are a top side and will not repeat their disappointing away game against them last season. The Reds will need to be at their best, as they beat Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 and are currently scoring goals. Although they may not perform as well as against Bristol City, they have a strong squad and aim to finish the year with a good result.
