Anfield to Host Women’s Merseyside Derby Again This Season
Liverpool FC Women will host the Merseyside derby at Anfield again this season, following a record attendance when they took on Everton last year. The match is scheduled for 2pm on Sunday, October 12, but is likely to be rescheduled for a different time slot for television.
The Reds secured another season in the Women’s Super League last time out after finishing seventh in the 12-team league, a year after their promotion. The 2021/22 campaign brought a much-needed reset, as Matt Beard returned and the club rebuilt the squad with new signings and a young core.
Interest in women’s football is growing further in the UK following England’s success at the Euros and then reaching the final of this summer World Cup. After England Women won the Euros in the summer of 2022, attendances shot up at matches across the country. Prenton Park was no different as Liverpool continued to break their own record attendance figures for games at Tranmere’s ground.
