Liverpool Ladies have a massive game on their hands as they face current league champions Arsenal on Sunday.

The Reds opened the league season with a 5-0 defeat to Chelsea last week and new manager Robbie Johnson wants to see improvement in his team this time.

"Against Chelsea we were got behind them four or five times but we weren't able to capitalise," said Johnson.

"The opportunity is there if we're more clinical then we might be more competitive in this game with Arsenal."

TRANMERE V READING
FA Women's Premier League Northern Division
Venue: Poulton Victoria FC Date: 24 August Kick-off: 1400 BST

In the Northern Division, Tranmere hope to get their second win as they host newly-promoted Reading.

Rovers started the season with a 3-2 victory away to Preston, but boss Shirley Waring admits she doesn't know a lot about Sunday's opposition.

"I don't really know what to expect from Reading," said Waring.

"They've got a long way to travel, so maybe tiredness will settle in and we can capitalise on that."
