Brosnan Wants Everton Finish Against Leicester City at Goodison Park — Everton Vs Leicester City
Everton vs Leicester City arrives at Goodison Park on Saturday, 16 May, with Everton Women ending their home schedule at 1pm BST and Courtney Brosnan setting the tone for the afternoon. The goalkeeper said she wants Everton to finish the season on a high in front of the fans, a message shaped by a campaign that has delivered only two league wins at Goodison Park.
Goodison Park For Everton Women
Brosnan kept the focus on the occasion. “Obviously, it will be great to finish our season at Goodison in front of our fans and we are looking forward to seeing everybody there on Saturday,” she said in the match preview. She also called it “a quick turnaround to [hopefully] end the season on a high and we are looking for to being at Goodison and being able to celebrate with everyone.”
The setting gives Everton a clear target. Goodison Park has been the home venue this campaign, and the club’s return there for the final home fixture brings a direct finish to a season that still has movement in the table. Everton could finish as high as eighth or as low as 11th depending on results, so Saturday carries more than just the weight of a goodbye to the ground for this season.
Leicester City Arrive With Pressure
Leicester City bring their own issues into the fixture. They have won just two league games this season, and their last league win came at home against London City Lionesses in December. Shannon O’Brien has been their only goalscorer since March, a run that leaves little margin for error in attack.
Rick Passmoor has already said Katie Keane will start in goal this weekend, while Janina Leitzig and Olivia Clark are sidelined. Jutta Rantala is available for Leicester City’s final regular season fixture, giving them one selection decision settled before the trip to Goodison.
Recent Meetings And Team Notes
The last league meeting between the sides finished 1-1 in October, when Noémie Mouchon’s late strike cancelled out Ornella Vignola’s effort. Everton then beat Leicester City 4-1 at Walton Hall Park last season, but Leicester took the 2024/25 campaign meeting through a goal from Yuka Momiki.
Momiki will face Leicester City after joining Everton from the East Midlands in the summer, and Ruby Mace is set to meet her former club as well. Honoka Hayashi looked doubtful for the weekend after leaving the Emirates pitch on Wednesday in some discomfort, leaving Everton with one more selection point to settle before kickoff. Goodison gets one last league afternoon for the season, and both sides arrive with enough on the line to make the final whistle feel decisive.
