Taylor made four changes to the side that defeated Reading 2-0 in midweek, as Filippa Angeldahl, Lauren Hemp, Jess Park and Ellen White replaced Georgia Stanway, Hayley Raso, Julie Blakstad and Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw.

Ellie Roebuck took her place in goal, shielded by a backline of Demi Stokes, Alex Greenwood, Alanna Kennedy and Lucy Bronze.

Keira Walsh protected the back line, employed behind Caroline Weir and Angeldahl, who were flanked by Hemp and Park. White led the line upfront.

Gareth Taylor Preview

“We’re looking forward to it. We’re really pleased we are at home again after being on the road for a little while.

“It’s nice to get back on home ground. It will be a different dynamic playing them in the FA Cup and then back into the league. It’s a good opportunity for us but we’re expecting a tough game. 

“We have done it with United when we have played them back-to-back. I don’t think we’ve ever had both fixtures at home.

“I think it’s interesting what could happen between Sunday and the second game. Sometimes, teams tend to try something different. It’s a good stage for us to be at a cup quarter-final and a good stage for Everton too. 

“It’s a one-off. It’s kind of like a ‘winner takes all.’ I think we’re probably expecting Everton to have a right good go at it.

“For ourselves, it is important we control the opponent’s threat so we are fully aware of that, and imposing ourselves in the game really early on.

“We have done that well recently but this is a one-off game and the winner goes through to the semi-finals so it’s an exciting tie.

“We have been capitalising in the second half or lot for the last four or five games. It’s not that we are doing that on purpose. We are trying out best to finish off the actions.

“I felt it was a really dominant performance against Reading. You don’t always get what you deserve, but I think we did.”

Previous Meeting

City last faced Everton en route to our 2021/22 Continental Cup success, beginning our campaign in style with a deserved 5-1 win.

A sumptuous solo effort from Caroline Weir saw Gareth Taylor’s side take the lead before the ten-minute mark, but the visitors hit back almost instantly through Grace Clinton.

Undeterred, Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw rose highest before the break to head City into a deserved half-time lead, before Lauren Hemp added number three as the game approached the 75-minute mark.

Substitute Jess Park made it four from close-range after Ellen White stole back possession in the Everton half late on, before the England striker got herself on the scoresheet with a near-post header to round off the scoring.
