Everton ready for Arsenal showdown- Payne

Everton midfielder Toni Payne is eager for the upcoming Women’s Super League clash against Arsenal. The Toffees will host the Gunners at Walton Hall Park on Friday night, aiming to build on their impressive 2-0 victory over Aston Villa.

Payne expressed confidence in the team’s ability to secure a positive result, citing their strong performance against Chelsea as a morale booster.

“It definitely feels good. You know, it’s my first time in the league and the WSL. I definitely knew it was going to be a struggle in the beginning, but I think I’m finally catching my stride here,” the Nigeria international told the club’s official website.

“I’m happy. I’m excited to face Arsenal [on Friday]. You know, they’re a great team. They’ve got amazing players, but I think we’re getting our confidence here and there, especially with the performance we put up against Chelsea.

“I think we can only go up, and I just hope that we’re ready for it, and, hopefully, get something out of it,” she added.
