Everton vs London City Lionesses preview

After thrashing Liverpool in their WSL curtain raiser, Everton struggled last week against Tottenham.

The Toffees lost 2-0 in their first game at Goodison Park in what was a dominant performance by Spurs.

Everton will launch their new ‘Hall of Fame‘ ahead of their clash on Friday and Goodison Park should be rocking at kick off.

A win against London City Lionesses on Friday would be huge for Everton this early in the season. The Toffees would move up to six points after two games and remain on pace with the biggest teams in the WSL.

With the London City Lionesses visiting Everton this week, there is a perfect opportunity for Everton to get back to winning ways and claim three points at home for the first time this year.

The Lionesses have lost back to back games after getting promoted to the WSL and neither were easy matches.

After shipping nine goals in their first games against Manchester United and Arsenal, the Lionesses will be hoping for some sort of break on Friday night.

With both teams looking to bounce back from a loss, a close game can be expected on Friday night.

Everton vs London City Lionesses team news

Everton made two changes to their team that won at Anfield last week and it cost the Toffees a result against Spurs.

Hayley Ladd and Honoka Hayashi are both pushing for a spot in the starting lineup this week.

Club-record signing for the Lionesses, Grace Geyoro, featured off the bench last week in her debut.

After an encouraging first performance in the WSL the midfielder could be in line to make her full debut against Everton.

Julia Roddar or Katie Zelem are at risk of being sacrificed by the Lionesses in place of Geyoro.

Predicted lineups

Everton: Brosnan; Pacheco, Fernandez, Ishikawa, Robinson; Hayashi, Wheeler, Ladd, Vignola, Snoeijs, Momiki.

London City Lionesses: Lete; Kennedy, Kumagai, Fernandez, Imuran; Geyoro, Zelem, Asllani; Goodwin, Parris; Corrales.

Everton vs London City Lionesses prediction

Everton can get back on track against the London City Lionesses on Friday.

The Blues will be desperate to get a first win at Goodison Park this year and the atmosphere could be a lively one this weekend.

Having already shipped nine goals in the league, we are backing Everton to beat the newly-promoted Lionesses.

Prediction: Everton 2-1 London City Lionesses
