Liverpool, who secured their return to the WSL after winning the second division title in April, last hosted their city rivals at Anfield in 2019 in front of 23,500 fans.

Women’s teams, including top flight WSL clubs, normally play at smaller stadiums, but have occasionally played at bigger venues, such as Premier League stadiums.

Manchester City Women later said the Etihad Stadium would host their home match against local rivals Manchester United on Dec 11 in a repeat of the record-breaking game in 2019, which saw over 31,000 supporters attend.

Chelsea Women’s opening fixture at home to West Ham United will also take place at Stamford Bridge on Sept 11.

Earlier this week, Arsenal announced they would host WSL fixtures against Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium, as well as all three of their Champions League group stage matches.
