Hemp has been sidelined with a thigh complaint since our 3-0 triumph away to Reading, but the boss revealed that she had returned to training last week.
Losada, meanwhile, last featured when she found the net in a 6-0 win over Blackburn in our first Continental Cup match of the season.
With the Manchester derby looming, their return to the fold would provide a welcome boost as we set our sights on leapfrogging Liverpool at the top of Group B.

“The mood’s really good. I think it’s just about the players focusing on this game,” Taylor explained ahead of Wednesday’s trip to Prenton Park.
“They’re very good in that respect of managing what’s in front of them rather than what’s coming.
“The selection numbers are really good. The squad’s looking fairly healthy at the moment.
“There’s a real chance that Lauren [Hemp] will feature and Vicky Losada is getting closer as well.
“Alanna Kennedy has also got some more training minutes under her belt [after making her return from injury against Sunderland], so we’re in pretty good shape.”
