Vicky Jepson: 'Manchester United a good test, but we are stronger now'

In her first column of 2020, Liverpool FC Women manager Vicky Jepson looks ahead to Sunday's Prenton Park showdown with Manchester United in the Women's Super League (12pm GMT kick-off).

I know we didn’t start the year as we would have liked to but we are still remaining positive and I have confidence in this group of players. When the final whistle went at Brighton we were deflated and emotional because we certainly had enough opportunities to win the game, but didn’t take some great chance and ended up on the wrong end of a 1-0 defeat.

I felt we went into that game with good momentum on the back of some really encouraging performances, particularly with the draw we got against an outstanding Chelsea team.
