Here come the teams!

Time for the iconic Z-Cars music as the teams prepare to make their entrance here at Goodison.

Arsenal can go 2nd in the WSL with a win, with the remainder of this weekend's action tomorrow.

Former Arsenal academy graduate Ruby Mace starts for the Toffees, who enjoyed a productive transfer window but have won just twice in the league- against Liverpool on the opening day, and then Chelsea last time out.

Mariona Caldentey starts in the number ten role, with Kim Little and Kyra Cooney-Cross deeper in midfield. It could even be Little as a single pivot with KCC up with Caldentey. Emily Fox replaces Taylor Hinds, and Beth Mead comes in for Olivia Smith.

Arsenal are in winning form, overcoming Liverpool and FC Twente 2-1 and 1-0 already this week. This is the Gunners' last WSL game of 2025.

Everton are unchanged from their 1-0 win over Chelsea last weekend, which ended Chelsea's unbeaten league run stretching back to May 2024. Honoka Hayashi scored in the 12th minute before a resolute defensive display kept the Blues out.

Over 1,200 Arsenal fans have made the long trip up to Merseyside- remarkable support for a Saturday lunchtime kick-off.

Everton subs: Ramsey, Hobson, Pacheco, Holmgaard, Robinson, Galli, Ladd, van Gool, Snoejis.

Everton: Brosnan; Ishikawa, Mace, Fernandez, Kitagawa; Momiki, Vignola, Hayashi, Wheeler; Gago, Payne.

Arsenal subs: Liddiard, Williamson, Codina, Hinds, Harwood, Pelova, Smith, Blackstenius.

Arsenal: Borbe; McCabe, Catley, Wubben-Moy, Fox; Little, Cooney-Cross; Foord, Caldentey, Mead; Russo.

Team news is in, with Arsenal making three changes from Tuesday's 1-0 win over Twente.

Good morning and welcome to Goodison Park for coverage of Arsenal Women's trip to Everton in the Women's Super League.
