The men's head coach is set to be in attendance for Sunday's Barclays Women's Super League clash in L4 (2pm BST kick-off).
"Firstly, I think it's a really nice gesture from him, because I'm expecting him in the international break to be on his holidays," Taylor said at his pre-match press conference.
"But for him to be coming to our game, bringing his family, bringing his children, I think it speaks volumes of that support. And you're right, I just think it is a really big positive step for us.
"I just think it brings an interest, it brings an alignment. I think it brings, like many things, that it's the same game. We're playing the same game, we all care really, really deeply about the game – whether it's male or female – and we care about each other.
"We work so hard in our own fields that sometimes you don't get the opportunity to go and take a coffee with Andoni and vice versa. So, this is a really impressive gesture for me and I think that's the way I look at it.
"It would be really nice to meet him and hopefully ask a few questions and steal a few ideas!
"Like I say, we're all working tremendously hard in our own specialist role and when you get support from other areas of the club, I think that's really important."
