Ladies champions Liverpool kick-off against newcomers Man City

Women's Super League champions Liverpool will begin the defence of their title with a home match against newcomers Manchester City on 17th April. The eight-team league begins a day earlier, and for the first time there will also be a second division, Women's Super League 2, featuring an additional 10 teams.

All 18 clubs will take part in the FA Women's Super League Continental Cup, which begins on 30 April.

Liverpool boss Matt Beard said: "Hopefully we can hit the ground running, but with Manchester City coming into the league it will be a good test for us right from the off."
