Liverpool in danger of sliding away

Liverpool’s interim manager, Amber Whiteley, said last month that it was important the club held on to fifth place in the Women’s Super League. They are now sixth after a 2-0 loss to Everton in Sunday’s Merseyside derby at Anfield, which also means they have still only ever won once at the stadium. Liverpool’s position in the table could get worse with one game of the season remaining, with three teams still able to overtake them, including Everton, whose win against their local rivals was secured thanks to goals from Katja Snoeijs and Karen Holmgaard. Liverpool could finish as low as ninth, which would be a sizeable failure for the club given they finished fourth last season. Sarah Rendell
