Chris Kirkland on his Reds return and what has been going on at Liverpool FC Women

It may be less than six weeks old, but it has already been an eventful season for Liverpool FC Women. After a summer of massive change that saw the majority of last season’s squad leave along with manager Scott Rogers, the club was looking to stabilise under Neil Redfearn. But the former Leeds United boss rocked the Reds by quitting after just two games in charge. That left ex-Liverpool and England men’s goalkeeper Chris Kirkland, and Redfearn’s first-team coach Vicky Jepson, to take up the reins on a caretaker basis. And the duo, along with the rest of the backroom staff, have overseen back-to-back victories, which have lifted spirits going into the first Women’s Super League home match of the season against Reading at Prenton Park on Sunday (2pm kick-off). So to preview the game, and to find out what life has been like back at the club he played for and supports, Kirkland speaks to our Liverpool FC correspondent James Pearce. There is also an update on the Reds’ U18 and U23s academy sides. Enjoy. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
