Following late heartbreak in last weekend's Adobe Women's FA Cup Semi-Final, Leicester return to north London once more, this time for league duties when they meet third-placed Arsenal.
Ahead of the test against the Gunners', here is a detailed look into the occasion and how you can follow the action live...
The Foxes camp
City's biggest game of the season ended in late defeat last weekend, as an extra-time goal from Martha Thomas at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium sent the hosts on to next month's FA Cup Final against Manchester United.
Having narrowly missed out on a day at Wembley, the emotions were clear to see from the Foxes who put in a valiant effort throughout the competition this campaign, and had the backing of over 1,000 Leicester fans who made the trip to the capital.
Attention now turns back to the WSL, where they return to London once more, this time to face the Gunners at Emirates Stadium. Having already surpassed last year's points total, a win could see Leicester climb two spaces in their hunt for a mid-table finish.
The opposition
Arsenal, currently six points behind Manchester City and Chelsea, will look to claim the final UEFA Women's Champions League Qualification spot, having won 13 of their 18 matches this term, losing on just four occasions.
They head into the fixture in fine form, having dispatched bottom-placed Bristol City 5-0 at Meadow Park most recently; Beth Mead and Alessio Russo both scoring a brace as the Gunners ran riot.
The hosts haven't managed to budge from their third-placed spot since the 2021/22 season, when they finished runners-up to Chelsea, but the recent return of Lionesses Mead and central defender Leah Williamson will boost their squad no doubt.
In the dugout
Jonas Eidevall boasts a good record during his three-year tenure in London, winning 45 out of 62 games in charge, averaging 2.3 points per game in England's top flight; scoring 156 goals in the process.
The Swede has also won on all five occasions against the Foxes, and has won two trophies during his time at Arsenal, winning the Continental Tyres League Cup last season and last month thanks to a late goal from Stina Blackstenius against Chelsea.
Last time out
As previously mentioned, City don't have a good record against the Gunners, losing their last five meetings between the two sides, but in a season of firsts and progress, Leicester scored their first goal against the London outfit in the reverse fixture at King Power Stadium.
Early strikes from Sam Tierney and Janice Cayman led to a two-goal lead at the interval, but this only encouraged the two-time WSL champions to come out fighting on Filbert Way, ensuring the win with six goals in the second period.
