Everton Women goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan is determined to end the 2025/26 WSL season on a high as the team hosts Leicester City at Goodison Park. The Blues finished 8th in the final 2025 table with 23 points (7W-2D-13L), scoring 25 goals and conceding 37, and Brosnan hopes a strong performance can lift spirits before the summer break.
What’s at stake for Everton Women?
The match marks Everton’s final home game of the season, with Brosnan eager to celebrate with fans after a challenging campaign. The team’s recent form (WLLLL) has left them 32 points behind leaders Manchester City, but Brosnan believes a win could set a positive tone for next season.
Key players to watch
Honoka Hayashi’s availability is uncertain after an injury against Arsenal, but Yuka Momiki and Ruby Mace will face their former club. Leicester’s Shannon O’Brien, the Foxes’ top scorer since March, poses a threat, while Everton’s defence will need to stay sharp against Alisha Lehmann’s pace.
Previous meetings and form
Everton’s last home win against Leicester was a 4-1 rout in 2024, but the Foxes won their home fixture earlier this season. With Leicester fighting relegation, Everton will need to break their poor Goodison form-just two league wins there all season.
The match kicks off at 1pm BST on Saturday, 16 May, at Goodison Park.
