The Preview: Foxes Face Arsenal Women At Home
- LCFC Women to play Arsenal this Sunday afternoon (3pm BST kick-off)
- Tickets for the match at King Power Stadium can be found HERE
- City started the new term with a point against Liverpool
Heading into matchday two in the WSL, Leicester are hoping to build on their point against Liverpool, but face tough opposition in the form of Arsenal at King Power Stadium.
Ahead of the game, here's a look at both sides and how you can follow the action...
The Foxes camp
City, now underway in their fourth consecutive season in the top flight, have one point on the board after an opening day draw with Liverpool at the totally Wicked Stadium.
Last season's top scorer Jutta Rantala found the net for Leicester and was supplied by last season's top provider Yuka Momiki. One WSL debut was made for Leicester in the form of French striker Noémie Mouchon.
Looking to improve on last year's 10th placed finish, Amandine Miquel will face a tough test in her first home game on Filbert Way, and will need the backing of the blue army to cause an upset on Sunday.
The opposition
This weekend's opponents, Arsenal, also have one point to their name after coming from behind to draw 2-2 with Manchester City on the first day of the season at Emirates Stadium.
One player to watch out for is England international and Gunners' No.9, Beth Mead, who returned to action at the back end of last season after an ACL injury - the forward already with a goal to her name in this campaign after scoring against the Citizens.
Having not won the WSL since 2019, Arsenal's fortune has come mainly in the League Cup, winning the Continental Tyres League Cup in consecutive seasons.
In the dugout
Jonas Eidevall resides in the Gunners' dugout and boasts an impressive record, winning 81 of his 117 games in charge of the London club.
Accumulating to a win percentage of 69 per cent, the Swedish Manager will be hoping to use the advantage of Emirates Stadium, now named as their official home venue for the WSL, to win his first league title in English football.
Last time out
Since City's professionalisation, the two sides have met six times, always in the WSL, with Arsenal holding bragging rights. However, in recent times, Leicester have turned into more formidable opponents, scoring their first goals against the Gunners last time out at King Power Stadium.
Sam Tierney's header gave Leicester the lead before Janice Cayman doubled their advantage before the break. Sadly, this only sparked Arsenal into life who came from behind to claim all three points.
