A 20,000-plus crowd is expected for the historic clash against Everton — part of the FA’s Women’s Football Weekend.
Sweetman-Kirk said: “I come to a lot of games here to watch the men and it is a ground with an electric atmosphere.
“I remember Mo Salah’s goal against Chelsea — cut in, top bin, and the crowd went mad.
“That’s probably one of my best memories of last season.
“It’s massive to play here. As a kid you dream about it.”
The Liverpool striker added: “It’s going to be a massive occasion.

“This derby is huge for the club and a big step forward in terms of women’s integration as well.”
The Reds, who usually play home games at Tranmere, are bottom of the WSL while Everton are fifth.
But Sweetman-Kirk added: “A derby could be a huge catalyst for us.”
