Here’s how to follow along with our coverage – the finest writing and up-to-the-minute reports
James Wallace and Rob Smyth will cover all the day-three action, over by over. The day-nighter at the Gabba has already thrown up more storylines than an entire season of Neighbours, and our team of writers – Ali Martin, Geoff Lemon and Simon Burnton – are in Brisbane for reports, news and analysis. Australian supporters are welcome to join the conversation, too.
Emillia Hawkins and John Brewin take the controls for our essential weekly gateway to the day’s football action. There’ll be plenty of washup from Friday’s World Cup draw in Washington DC as well as team news, breaking stories and snippets from our reporters around the grounds. Our World Cup reporter Paul MacInnes will be on hand for a Q&A from 11am, so email your questions to matchday.live@theguardian.com to take part.
The WSL returns after the international break for one of the division’s established fixtures. Only Arsenal v Chelsea at 30 meetings surpasses the Gunners’ head to head with Liverpool – the clubs having faced each other over 25 matches in the WSL. At the Emirates for No 26, there will be plenty of expectation circling the visitors’ Beata Olsson. The striker has scored in each of her last three league starts for the Reds – find the net on Saturday, and the 24-year-old Swede will become the first WSL player to score in four of her first five starts in the competition. Emillia Hawkins helms our live blog, with Suzanne Wrack reporting from the Emirates Stadium.
