There's plenty at stake as well as pride here in Everton's first game at their new home.

Both the Toffees and United are just behind Reading in the race for fourth place - with the top three well clear, those sides would love to be crowned 'best of the rest' so to speak.

It would be a major achievement for both Everton, who finished second-bottom last term, and United - in their first Women's Super League season, following promotion last year.

Things are starting to warm up at Walton Hall Park - figuratively, if not literally, on a crisp February afternoon.

Manchester United's Leah Galton completely bamboozles the Everton defence to waltz into the area and lash in a dangerous low cross that the Toffees do well to scramble clear.

Everton then almost open their account at their new home as Inessa Kaagman smartly controls Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah's cross on the turn to completely lose her marker but United keeper Mary Earps makes a fine smothering save to keep the deadlock intact.

Beach huts, drummers and prosecco are all part of what makes Lewes' tick, on top of their unique policy of giving equal budgets to their men's and women's squads.

Today the Championship club are involved in one of the biggest games in their history as they face record 14-time cup winners Arsenal.

You can read more about the Sussex outfit here.

While we await the first real chance in the early kick-off, let's take a look at today's FA Cup fifth-round tie that will get under way in around 20 minutes' time...

Spare a thought for Everton's England defender Gabby George today - she was stretchered off in the first minute of Monday's FA Cup win at Bristol City and misses this landmark occasion.

Kika van Es is her replacement today - and she's had very little to deal with in a quiet opening few minutes at Walton Hall Park.

It feels like a really special occasion here on Merseyside today - the sidelines are packed with spectators hoping Everton can christen their new home with three points.

But they know Manchester United will not roll over - the Red Devils won the reverse fixture 3-1 in December and are a point above the Toffees in the WSL table.

Everton get today's action under way in their first-ever game at their new Walton Hall Park stadium.

Will Manchester United read the script or will they be the party poopers?

The 12:30 GMT kick-off between Everton and Manchester United - sixth hosting fifth - is one of five Women's Super League fixtures you can follow today.

And don't forget the FA Cup tie where Lewes will be hoping to spring a shock on Joe Montemurro's Gunners.

Here's the rundown of what's occurring...

WSL:

• Everton v Manchester United (12:30 GMT)
• Birmingham City v Bristol City (14:00 GMT)
• Brighton & Hove Albion v Tottenham Hotspur (14:00 GMT)

• Manchester City v Chelsea (14:00 GMT)
• West Ham v Liverpool (15:00 GMT)

WOMEN'S FA CUP FIFTH ROUND:

• Arsenal v Lewes (13:00 GMT)

Many women's sides share grounds with men's clubs and up until today, Everton had been among them, having been based at Southport's Haig Avenue since 2018.

Before that, they had shared with fellow WSL side Liverpool and, prior to that, spent 15 years at Marine.

But now they have a home to call their own - Walton Hall Park, which they will christen today with the lunchtime visit of Manchester United.

Toffees boss Willie Kirk this week told BBC Sport that the move to a stadium less than a mile from Goodison Park would be a "great boost" for the Merseysiders.

It's Sunday afternoon and that can mean only one thing - another packed programme of women's football action.

We've got live text coverage of five Women's Super League games for you, including a titanic tussle between top two Manchester City and Chelsea which could play a massive role in determining who lifts the title.

In addition, we'll be filling in one of the two remaining blanks in the Women's FA Cup quarter-final draw as reigning WSL champions Arsenal host Championship underdogs Lewes in the penultimate fifth-round tie - you can watch that right here on this page.

But before all that, it's a pretty big day for Everton Women...
