READING FC WOMEN are back on home turf when they take on Liverpool on Thursday.

The Royals are currently in 11th place in the Women’s Super League after suffering six defeats from seven games.

The Royals were scheduled to host Liverpool in the opening weekend of the new season, but the fixture was postponed after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, as was the rest of the football calendar.

Liverpool are currently one place and one point above Reading in the table.

The Reds won promotion back to the WSL after topping the Championship last season after winning 16 of their 22 matches to take the title by 11 points.

Matt Beard’s team took a point at the weekend after they snatched a stoppage time equaliser away at Brighton & Hove Albion.

Liverpool found themselves 3-1 down with just 15 minutes left to play but they managed to claw back two goals to take a point from an unlikely position.

Shanice Van de Sanden got them back into the game in the 76th minute before former Reading player Rachel Furness netted a 92nd minute leveller to make it 3-3.

Liverpool made a spectacular return in their first game back in the top flight after they got the better of defending WSL champions Chelsea.

Having gone goal down after former Royal Fran Kirby scored from the penalty spot, in a game of three spot kicks, it was Liverpool who shocked the odds to win the match after a double from Katie Stengel.

After making a superb start to the season, Liverpool endured a poor run of form that saw them lose five consecutive league matches.

They were beaten at home in the Merseyside derby by Everton before defeats to Arsenal, Manchester City and Aston Villa.

However, they ended their losing run at Brighton and are now one point above the Royals as a result.

Reading currently have an unbeaten record against Liverpool.

In their five meetings, Reading have won four and drawn one.

The teams last met in the WSL in 2019 which saw Reading take three points away from home after Fara Williams scored the only goal of the game.

On their last trip to face Reading away from home, Liverpool went home with a point after a 2-2 draw in December 2018.

Courtney Sweetman-Kirk put the Reds ahead after 10 minutes before Williams levelled the match.

Another strike from Sweetman-Kirk restored Liverpool’s lead, but again Reading found an equaliser through Williams with six minutes to go to take a point.
