How have clubs fared so far in the 2024-25 WSL season?
Liverpool have overachieved in the WSL in recent seasons under manager Matt Beard, raising expectations and ambitions.
After beating Manchester United to finish fourth last season, Liverpool hope to challenge for the top three in the WSL.
However, with a lower budget than their rivals and a mediocre transfer window, Liverpool’s squad is thin on depth.
Disappointing results against Leicester City, West Ham United, Everton and Crystal Palace mean they are nine points adrift of where they were at this stage last season.
Injuries haven’t helped, but Liverpool’s performances must improve in 2025 if they want to move up the table.
Pre-season forecast:Sixth place
