Just days after losing out to London City Lionesses in the capital, Rick Passmoor's side are back in the capital on Wednesday night to face the current UEFA Women's Champions League winners in a 7pm BST kick-off.

Having never beaten Arsenal in top flight history, a win under the lights is necessary to avoid bottom spot and a play-off final fixture towards the end of May.

Arsenal in focus

We face Arsenal at Emirates Stadium this week.

Currently fourth in the league, but with three games in hand, the Gunners have only lost on one occasion this term, but have lost twice in their last three in all competitions; beaten by Chelsea in Champions League action, before losing 2-0 to Brighton & Hove Albion in the Adobe Women's FA Cup Quarter-Finals.

Renée Slegers is in charge of Arsenal, and has won an impressive 49 times out of 68 matches managed, which included a Champions League Final win against Barcelona back in May 2025.

Alessia Russo is one strike away from double figures in the WSL this term, with Beth Mead leading the way for assists (five). A final home league game of the season, there's no doubt Arsenal will be going out to entertain their home fans for one last time.

The Foxes camp

The Foxes were beaten at the weekend by London City.

It's a different kind of story when looking at Leicester City, who are still searching for their first win of 2026, most recently falling to a 5-1 defeat to London City at the weekend, despite taking the lead through top scorer Shannon O'Brien.

Seven points behind with three to play, a loss on Wednesday would confirm bottom spot for the Foxes, who would have to beat third-place in the WSL2 to retain a spot in the top flight.

Following the Arsenal game, Leicester welcome reigning league champions, Chelsea, to King Power Stadium for a final home game of the season, before traveling to Goodison Park to take on Everton a week later.
