The English Women’s Super League action continues as Leicester City and Chelsea set to lock horns at the King Power Stadium in Leicester on December 14.

Leicester City W vs Chelsea W: Match Preview
Leicester City, currently sitting 11th, are experiencing a lackluster season, having failed to win any of their last five encounters. However, they managed a goalless draw against Brighton & Hove Albion in the English Continental Cup. Regrettably, they haven’t scored a single goal in their last four matches, while conceding a total of eight. This poor run of form highlights the struggles they are facing this season.
Chelsea, on the other hand, are currently leading the points standings, winning all nine games they have played so far. In their most recent 4-2 win over Brighton, they showcased their attacking prowess with goals from A. Beever-Jones (40′), J. R. Kaneryd (51′), and S. Nüsken (90’+1, 35′). They will look to replicate their current form and success in the upcoming match as well.
