Everton women are set to play in front of a record home crowd of over 20,000 when they take on Liverpool at Goodison Park this evening.
The Merseyside derby will kick off women’s football weekend ahead of Tottenham v Arsenal on Saturday and Manchester City v Chelsea to come on Sunday.
The Toffees have not played at Goodison Park since the opening day of the 2021-2022 season, where 5,998 fans watched them beaten 4-0 by Manchester City.
Tonight’s crowd will not surpass the record for a women’s game at Goodison Park, which is still held by Dick Kerr Ladies - who recorded an attendance of 53,000 in 1920.
