Everton expect tough Belles test

Everton's last trophy saw them beat Arsenal to lift the 2008 League Cup

Everton Ladies assistant boss Andy Spence says his side will face a tough Doncaster outfit when the teams meet in the Premier League Cup on Sunday.

The Blues, who last lifted the trophy in 2008, go into the match after a 3-1 victory over Blackburn on Tuesday.

"We have good memories of the League Cup," Spence told BBC Radio Merseyside.

"Doncaster are a good, strong team and have young international players as well. They will come out and make it a very difficult game for us."

Spence added: "It will be tough, but if you want to do well in competitions you've got to raise your game to the challenges that the opposition bring."

"Doncaster, like a lot of the other Premier League teams, will have players who will cause us problems if we don't treat them with the respect that they deserve."

Meanwhile, Liverpool face a trip to Manchester City in the Northern Division, with Tranmere also on the road as they play Scunthorpe United in the Northern Combination.
