Hello and welcome to live coverage of Leicester City v Chelsea in the Women’s Super League. If the last few meetings between these teams are anything to go by, you’re in for a treat. If you’re a Chelsea fan that is.

Chelsea beat Leicester 5-2 in this season’s reverse fixture and the Blues have recorded a 30-2 aggregate score in their last five league meetings against Leicester, including 8-0 and 9-0 wins in 2022. Emma Hayes’ side will be aiming for a similarly triumphant victory tonight to keep the pressure on Manchester City at the top of the table.

Leicester will be hoping tonight’s result bucks the trend however. Willie Kirk’s team will hope to build on their 5-2 victory over Bristol City before the international break. Three points against Chelsea would see Leicester leapfrog Tottenham and advance to sixth place.

A Chelsea win is the sensible prediction but they did lose their last game to Manchester City. Chelsea haven’t quite found their rhythm of late so it’s all to play for in this clash. Keep refreshing the page for updates.

preamble
Hello. Welcome to our live coverage of the Women’s Super League match between Leicester City and Chelsea. If the last few meetings between these teams are anything to go by, you’re in for a treat. Yes, if you’re a Chelsea fan.
Chelsea beat Leicester 5-2 in a come-from-behind game this season, and the Blues have now taken a combined score of 30-2 in their last five league games against Leicester, including 8-0 and 9-0 wins in 2022. It is recorded. Emma Hayes’ team will achieve their goal. We hope to win the same way tonight and continue to put pressure on Manchester City in the lead.
But Leicester will be hoping tonight’s result bucks that trend. Willie Kirk’s side will be hoping to build on their 5-2 win over Bristol City before the international break. If they pick up three points against Chelsea, Leicester will overtake Tottenham and move into sixth place.
The sensible prediction was for Chelsea to win, but they lost to Manchester City in the final match. Chelsea haven’t been able to find their rhythm very well lately, so everything will be on the line in this match. Please keep refreshing the page for updated information.
kick off 6:30pm.
