Barclays Women's Super League action returns for Leicester this weekend when they make the trip to Manchester to face an in-form side that have only lost once so far this term.

Ahead of the weekend's challenge, here are the key talking points from Friday's press conference at Belvoir Drive...

International break

On the scoresheet for Wales.

The players rejoin in the East Midlands as a full unit, with a large proportion of them involved during the recent international window.

Included among those was Ruby Mace, who made her senior England debut in a 1-0 win over Switzerland, while Hannah Cain helped Wales secure a spot at the UEFA 2025 Women's Euros with a penalty against the Republic of Ireland.

"We are really happy for her (Hannah Cain) and all the other players that qualified because they almost all did, except Sophie Howard and Scotland," the Manager explained.

"It's great for her to start and score; it takes great confidence to step up and score a penalty like that, and she had the confidence to take it and score.

"I went to Wembley for the first England game which was great and to see it so busy; I think other countries can learn from this.

"I'm happy that Ruby started and played in the second one. She did well, for her first performance she didn't take too many risks and she did her best which is what we wanted from the occasion."

Man City

Man City are currently second in the WSL.

This weekend's hosts head into the game in fine form, having lost just once in all competitions, that result coming last time out in the WSL when they were beaten 2-0 by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Understanding the difficult task that awaits them, the former Stade de Reims Manager wants to see an organised and positive performance from the Foxes at Joie Stadium.

She added: "For me, they are a good team but it's just another game where we want to defend well and put our game project in place. We have been struggling offensively, so although it's a strong team, we do want to pose a threat.

"We want to give them trouble when in possession, and to do this we need to be really well organised when we don't have the ball, to ensure they don't get close to our goal."

The winter transfer window

Looking to end the year on a high.

Three games away from the winter break, the January transfer window looms into view and Miquel stated that they are looking for the right profiles to potentially add to the squad.

"It depends on the player as well, not just us choosing who we want," the Manager admitted. "We have to look at who's available and meet our criteria.

"We are lower in the table than we'd like so we need to find someone who fits the profile, wants to come to us and importantly wants to help us.

"We are looking, but of course we aren't the only ones looking so we're trying to be inventive by looking everywhere so that we can find that extra player on the pitch.

"I think it is good that we do try to find someone considering all of our injuries that we've had so far this season, affecting our availability."
