Chelsea will be aiming to continue their reign at the top of the Barclays Women’s Super League table when they travel to The King Power Stadium to face Leicester City on Saturday.

The Blues have won their last seven Barclays Women’s Super League matches and they seem to be getting stronger week-on-week. This weekend, Emma Hayes’ side take on a Leicester City team who are rooted to the bottom of the table.

Leicester City manager Willie Kirk confirmed in his pre-match press conference that his side are very thin on numbers going into their latest match. The Foxes remain without the services of long-term absentees Hannah Cain, Jess Sigsworth and Lachante Paul while a couple of other key players could also be missing. Leicester City will hope to have midfielder Josie Green back after her recent injury.
