As the Blues return to Women’s Super League action following the Barcelona tie, Emma Hayes makes three changes to the side, including the return to the starting line-up of Millie Bright.

The captain begins a game for the first time since November with Kadeisha Buchanan making way.

In the continuing injury absence of Mayra Ramirez, Catarina Macario will again lead the attack, supported by two of the others coming in – Fran Kirby and Aggie Beever-Jones. Johanna Rytting Kaneryd also starts. Lauren James is not involved tonight.

Liverpool also make three changes from their 1-0 win at Bristol City in their most recent game.
