Everton Women will aim to extend their winning run when they host Birmingham City in the WSL Cup Group Stage on Wednesday evening at Goodison Park. The team has secured two consecutive 1-0 victories, moving them up to fifth place in the FA WSL with six points from three games.
Those wins came against West Ham Women and Charlton Athletic Women, with both goals arriving from own goals by the opposition. The most recent result was a 1-0 away win over West Ham on 20 September. The team's recent form reads two wins and one loss from their last three league outings.
Wednesday's cup fixture offers a chance to build momentum ahead of a Merseyside derby against Liverpool Women on Sunday. Liverpool currently sit seventh in the table.
Manager Brian Sørensen is expected to field a strong side, with the starting lineup from the Charlton win featuring players like Courtney Brosnan in goal and Hanna Bennison in midfield. Birmingham City, who drew 2-2 with Brighton in their last match, will provide a stern test. The visitors' lineup last time out included goalkeeper Sophie Baggaley and forward Lee Geum-Min.
Everton's defensive solidity has been a feature, conceding just one goal in their three league matches this season. The team will look to carry that organisation into the cup competition as they seek a positive result to fuel their league campaign. Check the latest standings for the full WSL table.
