Mary Earps has been an ever-present in the WSL since the goalkeeper arrived at the club from Wolfsburg in the summer of 2019, taking over the mantle from Siobhan Chamberlain as the experienced hands within the squad (Shiv keeping 19 clean sheets in 27 appearances in all competitions in our inaugural 2018/19 campaign).
Earps however will know she needs to keep performing at a high level, with this season’s 'cup keeper' Sophie Baggaley patiently waiting in the wings.
The 25-year-old Derbyshire-born keeper, who wears the no.32 shirt, has made six appearances for the Reds this term – three of which have been against the current ‘big three’ of Manchester City (a win), Arsenal (a win) and Chelsea (a defeat and a red card for ‘Baggers’) and two of which went to a penalty shoot-out (one win, one defeat).
