Everton festive fixture change confirmed following controversial Women's Super League postponement

Everton Women will play three games in the space of a week, with their postponed clash away to Tottenham Hotspur now set to take place in December.

The Women's Super League fixture was initially scheduled for November 6, however it was called off just hours before kick-off owing to a waterlogged pitch at Brisbane Road. The game has been rearranged for for Wednesday December, 14, with the action billed to get underway at 7pm.

The fixture update means Everton's festive schedule is now even more congested, with the midweek trip to the capital sandwiched between an away clash with Brighton on December 11 and a Conti Cup tie with Durham at Walton Hall Park on December 17. The move comes at a time where a host of WSL managers, including Chelsea boss Emma Hayes, are calling for foootballing bodies to prioritise player welfare as an increasing amount of serious injuries continue to plague squads amid busy fixture lists.
