Everton v Arsenal: Women’s Super League – live

Katie McCabe tells BBC that playing all over is just a regular season for her and injuries are a fact of football. Arsenal are really disappointed with how they started the season, their Champions-League exit in particular, but now they just want to finish the season well.

Walton Hall Park is sold out and the atmosphere is building; it looks a nice day but I bet it’s fresh as.

We’re going to miss her something fierce aren’t we?

Great news for Arsenal men. I’m really looking forward to seeing how Timber shapes up in England, and if he can reinvent himself as a a serious left-back he’ll make a massive difference.

I guess one of the problems Eidevall has is the number of brilliant attackers he has. Of course, it’s possible he knows more about football than I do, but I’d stick Miedema at the heart of my team and go from there – especially as his side lack a bit of pace through the middle.

I really hope Vivianne Miedema gets back to her best. We shouldn’t forget that even before her injury, Eidevall frequently picked Blackstenius ahead of her, but she’s a total genius and we need her.

Nothing to do with our game and yet everything to do with our game. Football is beautiful.

So where is the game? Everton will, I imagine, play five at the back, looking to give Arsenal bother with twin strikers, forcing Williamson and Catley to mark a player each. That’d mean onus on the full-backs to keep the width, given a narrow three in midfield, and that might run into trouble against Arsenal’s 4-4-2, the potential for overloads out wide set. But if Everton can win the numbers game in midfield, they can make this a tricky afternoon for the Gunners by keeping Mead – in particular – out of the game.

To read:

Arsenal, meanwhile, are unchanged following their 3-0 win over Leicester, and I’m not surprised. Beth Mead and Alessia Russo scored their goals that day, and if those two are firing, chances are the team is in decent nick.

Everton make three changes from the side that one at Brighton last week. Kathrine Moller Kuhl is, I think, injured, and is replaced by Emma Bissell; Hanna Bennison is also out, likewise Aurora Galli, with Dejana Stefanovic and Halldor Stenevik coming on.

It’s now or never isn’t it? With three games to go, Jonas Eidevall’s Arsenal sit third, trailing leaders Manchester City – who they meet next weekend – by six points, with Chelsea splitting the two, sat halfway in between with a game in hand and a freshly aggravating grudge fuelling their sense of mission.

In theory, Everton should present few problems, four off the bottom and with only pride to play for. But the practicality is a little different, the Toffees an improving side who gave Arsenal problems when they met in January – and Chelsea in the Cup quarter, losing by the odd goal in both.

The Gunners, though, are starting to look a little bit more like their old selves. Beth Mead is back and scoring, Vivianne Miedema is getting closer, and Leah Williamson has re-ensconced at the back. That may come too late to save this season, but football being the never-ending continuum that it is, they’re also playing for next – and the chance to, perhaps, save a manager who is surely under pressure, by reminding people what they can do with their best players available.

Kick-off: 12.30pm
