Anfield to host first WSL Merseyside derby of the season

Anfield will play host to the first Merseyside derby of the season between Liverpool and Everton.

FAWSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from Liverpool this afternoon.

The fixture will take place on Sunday 15 October 2023 and will provisionally kick-off at 2pm.

Both Merseyside derbies were staged at men’s stadiums last season. Everton were 3-0 winners against Liverpool at Anfield last September before the two clubs played out a 1-1 draw at Goodison Park in the return fixture in March.

Both clubs are progressing nicely on and off the pitch and this season’s derbies should again be thrilling affairs.

Speaking following today’s announcement, Liverpool manager Matt Beard said “It’s a fantastic game for us to look forward to. I’m sure everyone has been thrilled to watch England do so well in the World Cup so this is a wonderful opportunity for the fans to come together for a massive game right here on Merseyside.

“Anfield was a terrific experience with a wonderful crowd last year and of course we’ll be looking to draw upon the experience of last year and learn from that.”

Tickets for the fixture will cost £10 for adults with kids (U18s) and concessions paying just £1. Full ticket sales details will be announced by Liverpool in due course.
