A look ahead to Everton Women's final game of the WSL season
Still buzzing after they completed a dream Merseyside derby double, Everton Women will look to end their season on a high this weekend. The Blues welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Walton Hall Park on Saturday (12.30pm kick-off) for the final game of the Women's Super League campaign.
A Katja Snoeijs strike and a Gemma Bonner own goal ensured Brian Sorensen's side ran out 2-0 winners over Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday. That followed their 1-0 success over their city rivals at Goodison Park in November.
And the victory means Everton could even finish and above Liverpool in sixth in the final WSL standings by beating 10th-placed Tottenham.
Sorensen said: "We will try to end as good as we can. Everyone is in a good mood, there is a good vibe after the Liverpool game.
"But we are fully focused to end on a high. If results go our way, we could end up in sixth place.
“We want to end on a high because everything happening at the club right now is positive. It has been since the new owners took over.
"That is our aim: end as high as possible and end on a good note. It has been a good season overall despite all the challenges."

While Sorensen was delighted with another win over the Reds, he admitted the performance could have been better.
Speaking after the match, he said: "We enjoy coming here (but) I didn’t think we played our best game at all.
"Probably one of the worst in terms of on-the-ball performance, but defensively we were solid.
"Took the goals in the right moments; well-worked goals actually so pleased with that. It’s just good to control a game out.
"They had maybe a couple (of chances) but I felt Courtney (Brosnan, goalkeeper) has those nine out of 10 times. So well done by the whole team.
"We’re quite good (defensively), we have a good defensive record - fifth or something in the league. So we know we can always rely on that if our game doesn’t flow.
"I don’t know why it was like that today. It was there to play through them and I think we saw that with the chances we did it.
"We want to be better on that side but it’s been a long season and people are tired. We still have a lot of good players who are not in the squad."
