The Canadian is growing more comfortable within Matt Beard's squad with each passing week after missing a fair chunk of pre-season when participating at the U20 Women's World Cup.

"I definitely think it was frustrating having to miss almost a month, if not a month," the No.11 said. "But I feel like I'm settling in pretty well with the girls.

"Matt and the staff have been amazing [at] reintegrating me back into the squad as well. It's only up from here and there's still a lot of learning to get through but we still have time."

After beginning the league season with a pair of draws, Smith is hoping to register her first victory as a Liverpool player on Sunday.

The Reds return to the capital and will meet Tottenham Hotspur at Brisbane Road in a 2.15pm BST kick-off.

Looking ahead to the game, Smith analysed: "Obviously all the teams in this league are amazing and I think we just have to go in with a proper mindset in that we haven't lost a game yet, and that's the most important thing.

"We're still in the running to try to place as a top-three team. Again, they [Tottenham] are strong but when we have a good day, we can win."
