Preview: Leicester City (A) - Women's League Cup.

Bristol City visit Leicester City in their first FA Women’s League Cup group game on Wednesday, October 1st (7pm).

New City Head Coach Steve Kirby will be seeing the trip to his former club as an opportunity to get his first win since his appointment in September.

The Robins are yet to win this season, drawing two and losing one from three tough opening games, but Kirby has praised the performance levels from his team since the start of the season.

Along with Leicester, City are joined by Brighton & Hove Albion and Birmingham City in their League Cup group.

OUR OPPONENTS: LEICESTER CITY

Founded: 2004
Stadium: King Power Stadium

Leicester City are into their fourth successive year in the Barclays Women’s Super League as they look to cement themselves as top flight regulars.

They appointed Amandine Miquel in the summer after a disappointing season which saw them finish third bottom of the league year.

The new gaffer has had an impact already, with much improved defensive displays in their first two outings of the season seeing The Foxes narrowly beaten 1-0 by Arsenal on Sunday, and drawing 1-1 away at Liverpool on the opening day.
