Everton boss Brian Sorensen is hoping his side can continue their impressive form in the Continental League Cup when they take on Manchester United on Wednesday night.
The Blues opened their Conti Cup campaign by earning a crucial bonus point with a penalty shootout win over Aston Villa before comfortably dispatching Sheffield United on matchday two. And now Everton will travel to Leigh Sports Village where a win would end United's dreams of advancing to January's quarter-finals.
The two sides last met in October in the Women's Super League, when goals from Nikita Parris, Leah Galton and Hayley Ladd helped the Red Devils cruise to victory at Walton Hall Park. Since then, United have won two of their last three league games, including a thumping 5-0 victory over Aston Villa at the weekend. However, the Everton manager believes his players can learn from October's WSL defeat and go toe-to-toe with Marc Skinner's side on Wednesday.
