Women's Super League log leaders Chelsea will square off against Leicester City in a scintillating clash in the Women's premier division in England.
Chelsea have once again shown signs of lifting the WSL title as the Blues are unbeaten in the league and have looked a class apart from their competitors. Emma Hayes' ladies thrashed Liverpool 5-1 in their previous match with Lauren James grabbing a thundering hat-trick.
Leicester City's shaky start to the season continues as they trail in the 7th position in the WSL with two wins, two draws, and three losses from their set of fixtures. They are winless in their previous five games with three shambolic defeats coming before their stalemate against Spurs last time out. With Chelsea hosting Leicester City, the Foxes have another daunting task lying in front of them on Sunday.
