Manchester United boss Marc Skinner says his side need to both be more clinical in front of goal and supply their forwards with better service against Everton.

United have not scored in their past three games and were held to a 0-0 draw by West Ham in midweek.

They were beaten by Chelsea in the Women's League Cup final last weekend.

"With the ball, we did more than enough to win the game against West Ham but we have to convert those little bits of chances at the end," Skinner said in a news conference previewing Saturday's match (12:00 GMT).

"That's how the game is decided. I'm sure Everton will try to put their energy on us but if we can get the control and quality, we can win the game."

He added that United need to take advantage of the width their pitch provides to create better opportunities.

"We need to use the spaces we have, our pitch is bigger and has those spaces so we need to utilise them effectively. Hopefully we can change that around," he said.

"We should have scored against Chelsea and we should have scored against West Ham. I am happy with the places we are getting into, we just now need that final bit. I am sure it's coming."

Skinner also suggested that Jayde Riviere might be back for the match, but, if not, she is likely to return from injury against Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday.
