Brighton have no new injuries but have welcomed four new signings as well as new head coach Jens Scheuer in the January transfer window. The Seagulls have added Guro Bergsvand, Dejana Stefanovic, Zoe Morse and Briana Visalli to their playing squad.

Leicester defender Sam Tierney said the winter break was important for Leicester to take a break and to wipe the slate clean.

"Any break can feel like (a pre-season), normally Christmas feels like that. For us, that's heightened with the position we're in." she said

"It was really important to be able to take a bit of a breather, regroup, and we did see it as a fresh start. Hopefully, we'll be able to start picking up some points."
