Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Leicester W & Manchester City W face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the League Cup Women. All the pre-match information is available here!

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Wsl 1 Women. That game, against West Ham W, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Manchester City W.

Leicester W form and stats

Last season, Leicester W's League Cup Women journey ended in the group stage.

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Wsl 1 Women this season. Leicester W have only managed 1 win, 0 draws and 5 losses from their games here at Pirelli Stadium.

Leicester are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 324 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Flint).

Leicester W are returning here after visiting Sunderland W in a League Cup Women match and winning with a 5-0 scoreline.

Preceding that match was the home Wsl 1 Women game against Chelsea W that was lost 0-8.

Despite playing at their own arena the home team are massive underdogs in this game. The home fans will enjoy their drinks and snacks knowing that the chances of a positive outcome are very slim. When Leicester W have been in this position before, they have won 1, drawn 0 and lost 12 from 13 games. 10 defeats by at least two goals.

Leicester are traveling soon after this match as the Wsl 1 Women match at Tottenham W awaits in four days.

Leicester W have scored {4 league goals} here from 6 matches, not a lot. As for conceded goals, Leicester's unpleasant statistic is 17 goals surrendered.

Manchester City W form and stats

Nothing but glory last season for Manchester City W, as they won the League Cup Women.

The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 4 wins, 0 draws and only 2 losses in the Wsl 1 Women.

Two trips in a row for Manchester City W, whose coach Taylor could celebrate last time after the win against West Ham W.

A draw for Manchester City W before that, at their own venue hosting Manchester United W (1-1).

As mentioned earlier, Manchester will not be satisfied unless they get a comfortable victory in this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in 19 wins (16 by two or more goals winning margin), 0 draws and 1 surprising defeat.

After this away game Manchester City W return home for a Wsl 1 Women game against Aston Villa W. That game is only three sleeps after this.

As opposed to that, Manchester City W have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

The 8 most recent fixtures involving these sides have all finished as Manchester City W wins. Surely both teams are aware of this.
