​Anfield will play host to Liverpool Women

Liverpool Women will play a Women's Super League game at Anfield for the first time

Vicky Jepson's side will play Everton during Women's Football Weekend, which has been scheduled for the next men's international break.

"It's important that if you support Liverpool you get down and support the women's team," Jepson told BBC Sport.

It will be the first time Liverpool Women have played at the 54,074-capacity ground since an FA Cup semi-final defeat by Arsenal in 2013.

"It should be exciting for the fans given we have a big Liverpool family," Jepson said.

"There is still a long way to go just like any women's team but we are certainly moving in the right direction.

"We are being backed and moving towards where we need to be."

The Reds usually play their home games at Tranmere Rovers' Prenton Park, which has a capacity of 16,587.
