National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Manchester United W or Leicester W that keep their silverware dream alive.

Leicester W form and stats
They also participated in League Cup Women last season. This ended in the semi-finals.The manager E. Heskey is not happy with the away performances in the Wsl 1 Women so far, as all 4 matches have been lost.
