Gabby George lifts lid on brilliant Everton form and gives Merseyside derby verdict

Everton defender Gabby George had said the Blues will "take nothing for granted" when they host the WSL Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.

Brian Sorensen's side scored three without reply in the reverse fixture at Anfield back in September and are enjoying an impressive league campaign in the Dane's first season at Walton Hall Park. Everton are currently sixth in the table - just a point off fifth with a game in hand - and made it four WSL games unbeaten with a hard-fought draw away to league leaders Manchester United before the international break.

The Blues will get the chance to secure a league double over Liverpool - in the first ever WSL Merseyside derby to be staged at Goodison - on March 24. And, with average attendance figures in the women's game up more than 200% on last season, George is hopeful Everton will be able to attract club-record crowd for a women's game.
