Marc Skinner needs a deeper squad for Manchester United’s European project and Chelsea’s unbeaten season continues Liverpool’s interim manager, Amber Whiteley, said last month that it was important the club held on to fifth place in the Women’s Super League.

Liverpool’s position in the table could get worse with one game of the season remaining, with three teams still able to overtake them, including Everton, whose win against their local rivals was secured thanks to goals from Katja Snoeijs and Karen Holmgaard. Liverpool could finish as low as eighth, which would be a sizeable failure for the club given they finished fourth last season.
