Tomorrow night, Brighton & Hove Albion will welcome Liverpool in the Women’s Super League, with a 5:15 pm kick-off at the AMEX Stadium.
For the third time this season, Brighton will host a fixture at the American Express Stadium, instead of Broadfield Road, where they have played the majority of their home matches this season.
Saturday will also be the penultimate fixture before the International break, which will begin the weekend after the 22nd November, until the 11th December.
Arturo Ruiz’ side currently sit 7th in the WSL, while Gareth Taylor’s Reds are 12th, three points behind the Seagulls.
Both sides won their respective Subway players cup matches in midweek, but both Albion and Liverpool will be looking to bounce back in league action.
Albion lost 2-1 away at Tottenham Hotspur in the WSL last Sunday, while Liverpool gave Arsenal just their third league win of the season, in a 2-1 victory at Anfield.
It has certainly been more of a transition phase for Albion, after Dario Vidošić left the club for Angel City, just nine days before the beginning of the season.
However, Arturo Ruiz has managed to sustain a positive record thus far, achieving five wins, then drawing two and losing four, with an average win percentage of 78%.
On Wednesday night, Ruiz’ side came from behind to earn a 3-1 victory at home to WSL2 side Watford, thanks to a brace from a third of the season from Olivia Garcia and a brace from Emily Murphy.
And during the week, captain Maisie Symonds, was awarded the WSL Goal of the Month award for her incredible volley vs West Ham United, which conveniently occurred at the AMEX.
After comfortably remaining in the top tier last season, Liverpool are without a league win since the Merseyside derby back in September.
They have had a strong presence in the league cup, though, where they sit sixth in the table, earning three wins out of four.
In midweek, Gareth Taylor’s side comfortably defeated managerless Aston Villa, with Marie Höbinger, Cornelia Kapocs, and then Beata Olsson (x2) all getting on the scoresheet at St Helens Stadium.
In terms of form heading into the match-up between Brighton and Liverpool, it’s the Reds who have the upper hand, as they have won four out of the five WSL meetings with Albion, under Taylor, scoring 19 goals, and conceding just three.
