WATCH: Short Highlights: Everton 2-1 City
Previous meeting
We travelled to Merseyside in a committed effort as we fell to a 2-1 defeat at Walton Hall Park.
Following first-half strikes from Lucy Hope and Honoka Hayashi, a confident Everton side continued to test the City defence.
We gave everything in the second 45 and the introduction of Lily Murphy caused the game to turn in our favour.
The youngster caused problems on the wing and almost snagged an assist after her ball across the face of goal was almost tapped home by Jill Roord.
Despite a tough battle, we found a way back after a late City penalty turned in by Mary Fowler, but it could only halve the deficit.

Tchatchoua turns his back on Everton
A firm no that shows, at 23, Jackson Tchatchoua already knows how to chart his own path. Tchatchoua turns his back on Everton Jackson Tchatchoua has made his choice. The 23-year-old Cameroonian right-back, a key player for Hellas Verona, has turned down Everton. It's a bold decision that comes as a surprise, given the English club offered him a great opportunity. But Tchatchoua wants something different. According to CaughtOffside, he prefers Wolverhampton, where a deal is already in place. The transfer is valued at £10 million. Only the contract length remains to be finalized. Everton had hoped to lure him to the Premier League. Nottingham Forest, Milan, and Besiktas were also in the running. But the player opted for the stability of a clear project with Wolves. At Verona, he proved his full potential: 36 Serie A matches, two goals, three assists. Most importantly, his consistency has earned the trust of scouts. A 10-cap Cameroonian international, Tchatchoua is now looking to take the next step.

Austin Dillon makes NASCAR Cup playoffs with redemptive victory at Richmond
RICHMOND, Va. -- Austin Dillon left no doubt this time that he will make the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs with his second consecutive victory at Richmond Raceway. A year after his championship eligibility was revoked for wrecking two drivers on the final lap, Dillon grabbed a playoff berth Saturday night with a clean run to the checkered flag on the 0.75-mile oval. The Richard Childress Racing driver outdueled Ryan Blaney over the final 100 laps, seizing control with a shrewd strategy call to pit his No. 3 Chevrolet four laps earlier than the Team Penske driver's No. 12 Ford. Dillon, who led 107 of 400 laps, won by 2.471 seconds over Alex Bowman. Blaney faded to third, followed by Joey Logano and Austin Cindric. With his sixth career victory, Dillon became the 14th race winner to lock into the 16-driver field for the Cup playoffs, which are contested over the final 10 races of the season. The regular season will conclude next Saturday night at Daytona International Speedway, where the final two playoff drivers will be confirmed. After a consistent start to his season, Chase Elliott is in a slump heading into the playoffs. The 2020 Cup champion finished last at Richmond and failed to finish for the first time since last October at Las Vegas Motor Speedway (27 races ago). Elliott nearly had cleared the pileup on the 198th lap when he was tagged in the right rear by Kyle Busch. 'I think Kyle just didn't know that we were trying to squeeze by the wreck on the bottom,' Elliott said. 'We had a good start to the night, and it just slowly unraveled until it finally fell apart. Hopefully we get on a better stretch starting next week.' Since briefly taking the points lead after his June 28 win at Atlanta, the seven-time Most Popular Driver has finished outside the top 10 in five of seven races. About an hour before the green flag, Richmond Raceway announced its first sellout since 2008. During its heyday, the track had 112,000 seats that sold out twice annually. Because of softening ticket sales amid lackluster racing, Richmond was scheduled for only one Cup race this season for the first time since 1958, and its grandstand capacity has dwindled to under 50,000. Denny Hamlin grew up about 20 miles south in Chesterfield, Virginia, and his family once had seats at Richmond. 'We always went to both races, but the sport is in a different place now,' he said. 'The way to get it back is you have to sell out at least the one time. That and improve short track racing. If you can do those things, then I think you will have a better case to having two races here.' A week after his fourth consecutive Cup victory on a street or road course, rookie Shane van Gisbergen finished an impressive 14th at Richmond after scraping the wall twice in qualifying and starting 27th. Though the New Zealand driver said he feels more competitive and comfortable on short tracks such as Richmond, his inexperience remains a major hurdle. At Richmond, the rookie tried to improve by studying the laps of Hamlin and Trackhouse Racing teammate Ross Chastain. 'Different tracks might be different people,' van Gisbergen said. 'Look at who stands out and just try and emulate what they're doing.' is the defending race winner but will be absent from the entry list after losing his ride and moving to the Xfinity Series this season.

'Worst-case scenario' puts Tyler Reddick's playoff hopes in jeopardy
RICHMOND, Va. — Tyler Reddick was on his way to securing a playoff spot Saturday night at Richmond Raceway but after an accident and Austin Dillon's win, it remains possible that Reddick could be eliminated from title contention next weekend at Daytona. 'It's pretty much worst-case scenario,' Reddick said after his 34th-place finish. 'We can thank Daniel Suarez for that.' Dillon's victory made him the 14th driver to secure a playoff spot with a win this season. Nate Ryan, The final two playoff spots will be set next weekend at Daytona. Reddick will go there 29 points ahead of Alex Bowman, who holds the final playoff spot. If there is a new winner and Bowman outscores Reddick by 29 points then Reddick — who won the regular season title last year — would not make the playoffs. That scenario didn't seem possible for part of Saturday night. Reddick led about a quarter of the first 160 laps but his race changed on Lap 182. Daniel Suarez ran into the back of Ty Gibbs and that contact sent Gibbs' car up the track into Reddick's car. Reddick spun from the impact and hit the SAFER barrier. '(Suarez) moved (Gibbs),' Reddick said. '(Suarez) was frustrated. Whatever it was, (Gibbs) got in his way, was racing him and he moved him and it spun me out.' As for the damage, Reddick said: 'Went from a car that was one of the fastest on the track to one of the slowest.' Suarez explained what happened in the incident. 'I feel bad for (Reddick), I think it was,' Suarez said after his seventh-place finish. 'It really wasn't intentional. The last thing I wanted (was) to crash him for no reason. (Gibbs) already had older tires and at that point it's a two- or three-second difference. 'When (Gibbs) went to the bottom, he just slowed down way more than what I anticipated. I bumped him a little bit to get some room but it was maybe too hard of a bump for the tires that he had and he got a wiggle and then he ended up spinning out (Reddick), which wasn't intentional. I feel bad for that. Bad situation there. Just trying to make as much time as possible.' Austin Dillon became the 14th race winner to earn a spot in the 16-driver Cup playoffs field. The regular season concludes Saturday at Daytona International Speedway, where the last two playoff drivers will be confirmed.
