Leicester City Women will look to the WSL Cup for a change of fortune when they visit Watford on Saturday 17 October. The Foxes, eighth in the Women's Championship with six points from five games, have lost four of their last five league matches, including a 3-1 defeat at Sunderland last time out.
Their most recent outing saw them take an early lead through Aimee Ale before conceding three times. That result followed a 4-0 loss at Newcastle United and consecutive home defeats to London City Lionesses and Ipswich Town. Their sole win in this sequence was a 4-2 victory over Durham in mid-September.
The cup opportunity
Saturday's group stage fixture at The Hive Stadium offers a chance to reset.
The focus is on tightening a defence that has conceded ten league goals. The cup provides a different stage, and a positive result could be vital for morale. The match kicks off at 3pm on 17 October.
