Natalia Ramos makes her first competitive start for Liverpool Women this afternoon. The team host Tottenham Hotspur in a Barclays Women’s Super League fixture at St Helens Stadium, kicking off at 2pm BST.

Manager Gareth Taylor confirmed the lineup, which sees Ramos replace the absent Kirsty Maclean. "Natalia Ramos makes her first competitive start for Liverpool FC Women against Tottenham Hotspur in the Barclays Women’s Super League this afternoon," Taylor said.

Sophie Roman Haug returns from injury and is named among the substitutes. Liverpool Women sit third in the WSL with four points from their opening two games, unbeaten with a win and a draw. Their last result was a 1-1 draw with Tottenham just three days ago, a match in which Anna Csillag scored.

The starting eleven is Rachael Keating in goal, with a back line of Emma Kerr, Jasmine Clark, Grace Fisk and Silvia Bernabe. Fuka Nagano and Ramos anchor the midfield, supporting a front three of Violette Endemann, Cerys Holland and Charlotte Kapocs, with Mia Olsson leading the line.

Taylor's bench includes Sophie Roman Haug, alongside Sophie Laws, Katie Enderby, Marie Höbinger, Lucy Woodham, Lola Agrez, Freya Bergstrom, Anna Csillag and Maisie Trueman. The side will look to build on their solid start to the season.
