Everton and Liverpool's first meeting of the new season will take place at Anfield with Liverpool riding a high having beaten title-holders Chelsea in their first match since their return to the WSL.

In the 21 editions of the Women's Merseyside Derby, 13 have taken place in the WSL with Everton and Liverpool also meeting twice in the FA Cup and six times in the Continental Cup (the Women's League Cup). Over that time, Everton have the slight edge, having won 11 of the Women's Merseyside Derbys. Liverpool have won eight and there have been two draws.

Jessy Parker Humphreys is a freelance women's football writer. A Chelsea fan, Jessy has been following the women's game since being taken to the 2003/04 FA Cup final at Loftus Road and seeing Arsenal thrash Jessy's local side Charlton. Fortunately, Arsenal don't win quite as much as they used to – although Jessy hopes Charlton will also be back at the top of the women's game one day.
