Everton Women v Manchester United Women preview: kick-off time, team news and form
Everton Women host Manchester United Women at Goodison Park on Saturday 31st October 2026, with kick-off set for 12.45pm UK time in the Women's Super League.
There's plenty at stake for both sides. Everton currently sit 7th in the table, while Manchester United are up in 4th, so the visitors will fancy their chances of closing the gap on the division's leading pack with a positive result on Merseyside, while Everton will be eager to arrest a difficult run and push back up the table in front of their own fans.
Form has gone in contrasting directions for the two clubs heading into this one. Everton's last five WSL games read WLWLL, a sequence that includes wins over West Ham and Birmingham but also defeats to Liverpool, London City and, most recently, Aston Villa. Manchester United, by contrast, have been much tougher to beat in the league of late, with a run of DWWWD that has seen them draw with Arsenal and Manchester City either side of wins against West Ham, Liverpool and Charlton.
Royal Blue Mersey notes that Sunday's home defeat to Aston Villa was Everton's first reverse at Goodison Park this season, and that the Toffees were looking for an immediate response in cup action against Sheffield United as they chased a third straight Subway Players' Cup win. That context of trying to bounce back from a first home league loss of the campaign will hang over this weekend's visit of Manchester United.
In terms of the bigger picture, Manchester United go into the match unbeaten in two of their last two WSL outings and sitting above Everton in the standings, while Everton will be keen to use home advantage at Goodison Park to arrest their recent dip in form. Everton's goal difference and output in front of goal have been a mixed bag this season, while Manchester United have shown they can mix defensive solidity with the ability to pick up points against the division's bigger names, as their draw with Manchester City demonstrated.
There is no team news from the official match facts or the available reports beyond the cup fixtures referenced by Royal Blue Mersey, so supporters of both Everton and Manchester United will have to wait for official team news closer to kick-off to see what changes, if any, are made to the respective line-ups.
Kick-off at Goodison Park is 12.45pm UK time on Saturday 31st October 2026.
