Liverpool Women target WSL Cup win against Birmingham City

Liverpool Women travel to face Birmingham City in the WSL Cup group stage on Wednesday night aiming to extend their winning run. The match kicks off at 18:00 UTC as Matt Beard's side look to build on a positive start to the domestic season.

Liverpool sit fifth in the Women's Super League with seven points from four games. They head into the cup tie on the back of consecutive league victories, including a 2-0 win over Everton last time out where Beata Olsson and Cornelia Kapocs found the net. That victory was secured with a goal in the 48th minute and another in the 78th minute. You can review the team's fixtures and current standings for the full picture of their campaign.

Recent form

Their recent record shows three wins, one draw and one loss from the last five outings. That run includes a 4-2 victory against Sunderland and a heavy 4-2 defeat away to Manchester City. Forward V. Endemann has been a key contributor with two goals in four appearances so far this season. The team's overall goal difference in the WSL stands at plus two, having scored six goals and conceded four.

Birmingham City, in contrast, have found results hard to come by. They have lost four of their last five matches across all competitions and are yet to register a point in the Women's Players Cup, where they sit 19th. Liverpool have dominated recent friendly meetings between the sides, winning 4-0 in August this year and 1-0 in August 2025.

Manager Matt Beard has indicated the cup fixture offers a chance to rotate the squad and build depth, with several players pushing for a start after strong performances in training. After this match, Liverpool Women's attention returns to the league with an away trip to face Manchester United on Saturday, 3 October.
