With a resounding win over third tier Stoke City on Wednesday evening, the Foxes put themselves into round five of the FA Cup, where they'll meet Manchester City at Joie Stadium in early February.

Happy to return from the break with a win, City are now unbeaten in three, but Miquel admitted there were elements of the game that need to be built back up to speed, while praising Nelly Las for netting her first senior goal.

"We're happy to go through and score a few goals," she explained. "We would have liked a clean sheet but we made a few mistakes and gave them a goal.

Nelly Las scored her first goal for Leicester against the Potters.

"They did very well, this team gave us trouble and it was good to have a game before restarting the WSL. We're not quite there in terms of intensity so we have to make sure we step up our level up next weekend.

"I'm happy for Nelly [Las] to get her first goal, it was like Simone [Sherwood] last time here. They represent the future of Leicester and are very good players that we have to look at and bring into the First Team.

"We'll have to take it round by round, so we'll have to have a perfect game if we want to beat them and we need to be prepared for that game when it comes."

Instructions from the sideline.

Returning after a month away from action is never easy, and now Leicester have two games in the space of a week when they travel to Tottenham Hotspur for Barclays Women's Super League action this Sunday (12:30pm GMT kick-off).

Ready to attack the second phase of play, the Manager hopes to see a similar reaction brought into the weekend when they face Spurs in the capital.

Miquel added: "We try to get them focused straight away, they had a good break but now we must prepare for the second phase and do better than the first. We'll try to get everyone ready and focused on the game plan.

"It was great for the fans to come on a Wednesday night; it's not easy. Hopefully we'll have them with us at Tottenham and they do make the difference. The push the team and steady us in the difficult moments."
