Scheduled for the weekend of March 23/24, it will also be the Ladies' first competitive game at their new home ground, Halton Stadium.

Kick-off is scheduled for 7.15pm GMT and coverage of the action will start on ESPN at 6.45pm.

The Ladies will then travel to Lincoln when their league campaign kicks off on Sunday, April 14.

ESPN will be bringing viewers a number of live games from the WSL throughout the season and will feature a highlights show for each matchweek, keeping fans up-to-date with all the latest action and league news.

The highlights programme will be aired on Tuesday evenings at 6.30pm following each matchweek. 

The Ladies side have undergone a recent period of transition which has seen notable changes to personnel since the summer.

Matt Beard was appointed manager in August 2012 and his arrival was followed by additions to the squad in the form of Fara Williams and Natasha Dowie, who were signed locally from Everton.

New recruits also came from further afield, such as Whitney Engen and Katrín Ómarsdótti, who hail from the USA and Iceland respectively.
