Brian Sorensen has said his side "need to do better" if they are to avoid a second consecutive defeat in the Women's Super League this weekend.
The Blues four-game unbeaten run came to an end last time out, with former Everton midfielder Kenza Dali's strike helping Aston Villa to a 2-0 victory at Walton Hall Park. The result saw Everton stay sixth in the WSL table, four points off Villa with a game in hand, and Sorensen believes his side will need to put in an improved display against Leicester on Sunday if they are to keep pace with their mid-table rivals.
"I think you could see it was a month since we last played a game," the Dane said, reflecting on last weekend's clash with the Villans. "We weren’t at the tempo we want to play at. We felt in control, we had the ball but we were just not sharp enough.
