Gareth Taylor - 5/11/2026

Having beaten Everton 2-0 in L4 earlier this season, the Reds host Arsenal at the stadium on Sunday in the Barclays Women’s Super League.

Head coach Taylor expects to have the same squad to pick from for the 12pm GMT kick-off.

“Ceri Holland, like I said previously, hopefully we can get her back onto the pitch next week,” he said at his pre-match press conference today.

“But that’s going to be tight between now and the next international break.

“And obviously the other ones in Anna [Josendal], Sophie Roman Haug and Aurélie [Csillag] unfortunately are going to be out for a longer period than Ceri will be.

“No other real issues – we should be pretty similar to what we were at West Ham, hopefully with more volume under the belt for the likes of Mari Ward and Lucy Parry.

“Viv [Endemann] has been coming back from missing quite a bit. Hopefully they get more training under their belt.

“Mao Itamura gets another week of training, [which] gets her a little bit closer to being really selectable.”
