Arsenal Women will look to record a fifth consecutive victory in all competitions when they make the trip to Merseyside to face Liverpool Women on Sunday.
While the visitors are currently sat in second place, the Reds head into the weekend in ninth place with three points to their name.
Match preview
After winning promotion from the Championship last season, Liverpool could not have wished for a better start to their campaign as they came from behind to beat Chelsea 2-1 in their WSL opener.
However, Liverpool have been unable to build upon their victory over the WSL champions, with their last two league games both ending in defeat.
The Reds were thrashed 3-0 by Everton in the Merseyside derby, and although they beat Sunderland 1-0 in the League Cup, they were edged out by Tottenham Hotspur last weekend.
A Niamh Fahey own goal was enough for Spurs to claim all three points, as Liverpool failed to score for the second straight league game.
With both of their goals against Chelsea coming from the penalty spot, the Reds are still searching for their first league goal from open play in the league, and they will face a challenging task to find the net against an Arsenal side who are yet to concede in the WSL his season.
Arsenal will head into Saturday's contest in a confident mood are recording a statement win against the European champions Lyon in midweek.
Caitlin Foord and Beth Mead both scored two goals apiece, while Frida Maanum also got on the scoresheet to guide Arsenal to a commanding 5-1 victory in the Champions League.
As well as performing on the European stage, Arsenal have won all three of their WSL games this season, and as a result, they are one of two teams who are yet to drop points this season.
Including last season, the Gunners have won their last 11 league games, while they have kept nine consecutive clean sheets.
Arsenal have also been in impressive form in the final third, scoring at least two goals in 10 of their previous 11 WSL matches.
