Liverpool’s victory against Man United shows signs of progress

LIVERPOOL showed their top-flight credentials with a victory against Manchester United in the League Cup last week.

The Championship side have been placed in a tough group in which they will also face Women’s Super League (WSL) sides Everton and Manchester City, but this is exactly the type of challenge their manager, Vicky Jepson, is relishing.

Jepson’s side were relegated last season after the league was brought to a halt with eight games to go due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
