LCFC Women's Barclays FA Women's Super League status for the 2022/23 campaign has been confirmed following decisive results elsewhere in the division on Wednesday evening.

- LCFC Women's Barclays FA Women’s Super League status is now secured
- The Foxes gained 13 points following the appointment of Lydia Bedford
- City face Tottenham Hotspur away on the final day of the 2021/22 season

Birmingham City required a win over Manchester City to take the fight to the last day of the season, but the Citizens' 6-0 victory at Academy Stadium left the Blues five points behind Leicester with one game to play. 

Since making the move to King Power Stadium in late November, manager Lydia Bedford and her coaching staff have guided the Foxes to four wins and one draw, ensuring that the Club will compete in the WSL once more next season.

Positive results during the team's first top-flight campaign following promotion from the FA Women's Championship included a vital double over Birmingham, and home wins over Brighton & Hove Albion and West Ham United.

Bedford’s team travel to Tottenham Hotspur Women for the final fixture of 2021/22 on Sunday, a 12:30pm BST kick-off at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
