London City Lionesses head coach Eder Maestre admits it will be tricky to prepare fully to face what might be a new-look Everton side on Sunday.

The Toffees have an interim head coach, Scott Phelan, in place after the departure of Brian Sorensen earlier in the week.

And on Friday, Maestre told SheKicks.net that his team would need to be ready for some additional challenges.

“When you are preparing, I’m thinking [about] the kind of match that maybe you are going to face,” he said in his press conference. “When the manager goes out and some new manager with his new ideas [comes in] – okay, we are completely blind in the way they are going to try to manage the new pathway of the team.

“It’s challenging. We need to be ready for the contest that we will face. So in that terms, we are going to consider all the things that they did before, but knowing that maybe some things are going to change. So it’s about being ready.”

Eder Maestre on new Everton signing Zara Kramzar: “A very good player”

Adding that Everton’s new deaadline-day acquisition Zara Kramzar is “a very good player”, Maestre went on to explain that he wasn’t sure as yet how Phelan and his coaching team would be using her in the side.

“We don’t have any info and we need to consider, I think, maybe the new coach is going to build, considering the foundation that he finds in the team, so I don’t know if he’s going to be very disruptive in the way to change the way to play. Let’s see, but we need to be ready. We are going to consider the things that they did before., and thinking or trying to consider other environments, other situations, trying to be with the confidence to face them.”
