It’s the moment Liverpool have been waiting for since their relegation from the FA Women’s Super league was confirmed in July 2020.
As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and the cancellation of matches, they weren’t afforded the opportunity to play their way to safety as the final standings in 2019/20 was decided on a points-per-game basis. However, just one win in 14 league games painted an agonising picture for the Reds and showed the reality of where they were as a team.
Fast forward two years, they’re preparing for their return to the top flight with a rejuvenated team under manager Matt Beard. The 44-year-old guided the club to back-to-back league titles in 2013 and 2014 and he returned to Merseyside at the start of last season with the challenge of bringing them back to the big stage.
