Leicester City will face Chelsea on Saturday afternoon in another must-win game for the Foxes to keep their hopes of survival in the WSL alive.

Leicester are still looking to record their first points of the season after losing all eight games played. Chelsea, on the other hand, will be looking to take all three points and extend their lead at the top of the WSL table to 24 points. They will also be looking to increase their number of goals scored (20) against a Leicester side that have the third-lowest number of goals conceded in the league (17).
Leicester were beaten 1-0 by a late West Ham goal in their last outing in the WSL, leaving them to fall adrift at the bottom of the table. Emma Hayes' Chelsea won 3-0 against Tottenham, which put them three points clear of Arsenal at the top of the WSL.
The Foxes have added three, possibly four, names to their injury list following their defeat to West Ham. One is out for four to five weeks, and the others should be back sooner, with Willie Kirk stating they'll be back for Sunderland and Liverpool next week.
Chelsea have a fully fit squad apart from long-term absentee Pernille Harder, who has undergone surgery on a hamstring injury.
Leicester City Women's Head Coach Willie Kirk: "The focus has got to be on the players who are available and I think you'll see a young and an energetic Leicester City this weekend and hopefully one who can pick up those first points.
"I just expect them to be honest - give your best, do your job and then start trying to help your team-mates do your job. That's all we ask of every player."
Saturday's match is available to watch on the FA Player, with coverage beginning just before 3pm kick-off.
