The Foxes were beaten last time out against West Ham.

It's been a difficult start to November for the Foxes, who have lost twice, both times on the road, first when they were beaten 1-0 by Brighton & Hove Albion before falling to the same scoreline against West Ham United at Chigwell Construction Stadium last time out.

Viviane Asseyi scored the only goal of the game in Dagenham, and while Amandine Miquel's side have only conceded more than once in seven league games this year, they have been struggling at the other end of the pitch.

Scoring only twice in the WSL this term, the Leicester camp is ridden with injuries but they head into the weekend with a home advantage where last time on Filbert Way saw them pick up their first win against Everton.

The Red Devils head into the weekend unbeaten.

Man Utd sit fifth in the WSL, with 12 points from their first six games and while having drawn their last three matches, they head to King Power Stadium unbeaten in all competitions.

Starting the season with a 3-0 win over the Hammers, the Red Devils went on to beat Everton and Tottenham Hotspur without conceding a goal, before conceding to Brighton in their first draw of the term.

Most recently, the Manchester club were held to a goalless draw with Aston Villa at Leigh Sports Village, while England international midfielder Grace Clinton leads the scoring ranks this campaign, with three goals to her name.

Marc Skinner has led Man Utd from the dugout for the last three years, with the Leicester game being his 100th in charge. He has already racked up over 60 wins, averaging two points per game in the top flight.

Spending time with Birmingham City and Orlando Pride, the 41-year-old claimed his first trophy with the Red Devils when they lifted the Women's FA Cup last season, defeating Tottenham Hotspur under the arch at Wembley Stadium.

Last season's action against Man Utd.

This will be the 10th meeting between the two sides, with Leicester winning just once - a 3-2 win over Man Utd in the FA Cup back in 2021; Shannon O'Brien, Hannah Cain and Natasha Flint scoring the goals.

Only one goal separated the clubs on Filbert Way last season, when Ella Toone scored a late goal to decide the points, after Aileen Whelan scored in a 1-1 draw at Leigh Sports Village six months prior.
