Liverpool set up Man City showdown as flawless cup form continues

Liverpool picked up their first win since October with a 1-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers in the Continental Cup.

Sunday's clash marked the start of four consecutive home games for Liverpool, and the Reds took to the turf at Prenton Park looking to continue their excellent cup form. Matt Beard's side started the day at the top of Group B, having already defeated Sunderland and comfortably dispatched Leicester in the competition this term.

The hosts made eight changes from the side that were pegged back by Reading in the Women's Super League on Thursday night, with goalkeeper Faye Kirby making her first appearance in Red since signing from Everton in September. There was also a familiar face in Blackburn's starting XI, with former Liverpool defender Evie Smith coming up against her old club following her own summer switch from Merseyside to Lancashire.
