Chelsea players have ‘get well soon Emma’ on the back of their shirts as they warm-up for this clash. It has been reported the men’s team will also wear the message later today when they take on Aston Villa in the Premier League.
The weather is stunning today, a perfect October Sunday and I spent the morning cheering on runners in the Bath half marathon. I had a cheeky latte too! How are you spending your Sunday? Let me know via Twitter, @rendellx, or email.

Preamble
Hello and welcome back to our Women’s Super League coverage as we look to see if defending champions Chelsea can bag an away victory over Everton following a bumpy start to the season.
They lost their season opener against newly promoted Liverpool but have managed to steer the ship back on track with two wins over Manchester City and West Ham. They will be without manager Emma Hayes though for the foreseeable future after the boss underwent emergency surgery with Denise Reddy taking over on-field decisions.
Everton meanwhile will be looking to cause an upset after a bright start to their campaign. They have registered two wins and a loss and are just one place behind Chelsea in the table.
But who lines up for each team? The starting XI’s will be announced shortly so stay tuned ahead of kick off at 1pm BST
