MatchGet your LFC Women v Brighton programme

Ahead of the Barclays Women’s Super League game, the club will recognise the achievement of Gemma Bonner in becoming the team’s record appearance maker in the WSL era.

The defender also features on the cover of the programme and, inside the edition, she looks back on her illustrious Liverpool career to date.

Bonner picks out some of her favourite matches along the way, discusses the Reds’ current squad and reveals that her numbers could have been even higher... as she almost joined the club at the very start of the WSL in 2011.

Also featured in this issue is midfielder Marie Höbinger, the Austria international who has made a big impact at Liverpool since signing this summer and was recently compared to England legend Fara Williams by manager Matt Beard.

Höbinger gives her thoughts on adapting to the WSL, forming links in an exciting midfield mix, her ability to deliver set-pieces with either foot, and why the Reds are the perfect fit for her to develop her game further.

Beard and captain Niamh Fahey provide the inside track in their regular columns, while there is a quiz to test your knowledge of defender Emma Koivisto and a pull-out poster of midfielder Fuka Nagano.

We also put the spotlight on our visitors from the south coast, look back at the midweek Continental League Cup fixture versus Manchester United, and recall a game against Birmingham City five years ago in our In This Week feature.

So be sure to pick up your copy of the official matchday programme, priced £3, which will be on sale at Prenton Park.
