Chelsea Women remain strong in their league title defence, showing how they are up for the task by beating Everton 7-0 at Kingsmeadow last Sunday. Today the Blues return to their home turf to take on Leicester City, who we beat 8-0 away last time we met them, in December last year.

Ever since then the Foxes have not improved a lot, although their defence is not as leaky as it once was. In fact they beat our near-nemesis, Liverpool, 4-0 before losing to Arsenal on a meagre 1-0 scoreline. Still we should hope the Blues will be able to beat Leicester and go beyond, as goal difference can be the difference at the end of a championship that has been so tight at the top.
