Meanwhile, the hosts will head into Saturday's fixture with hopes of clinching their first league win since February 18.

Match preview

Having picked up 18 points from 21 matches, Leicester have made a slight improvement on last season's 16-point tally.

The Foxes are guaranteed to extend their three-year stay in the top flight, but they will be disappointed with their recent run of form, having failed to win any of their last seven league matches.

In their most recent outing, Leicester played out a 1-1 draw with West Ham United after Sophie Howard cancelled out Riko Ueki's early opener.

After picking up a point on the road, the Foxes are now set to return to the King Power Stadium, where they have lost each of their last three home matches.

While they may be low on confidence, Leicester can take confidence from the fact they have won four of their last five competitive meetings with Liverpool, including a 2-0 win when the two sides last met in March's FA Cup quarter-final clash at Prenton Park.

Liverpool have built upon last season's seventh-place finish, collecting 38 points from 21 matches to leave them on the verge of finishing in fourth position.

Matt Beard's side beat Bristol City and Chelsea, before they edged out Manchester United to move above the Red Devils in the league table.

Jenna Clark's first-half effort proved enough to guide the Reds to a narrow victory in their final home game of the season.

With three points separating them from Man United, Liverpool will secure fourth spot with a point in Saturday's contest, while a defeat would only cost them the position if their rivals beat title hopefuls Chelsea.

The Reds will be confident about their chances of claiming all three points, having won four of their previous five competitive away matches.

Team News

Leicester interim boss Jennifer Foster has confirmed that Shannon O'Brien and Denny Draper remain sidelined for Saturday's home clash.

The Foxes will also have to make late calls on the availability of Josie Green, Deanne Rose and Yuka Momiki due to knocks.

Liverpool, meanwhile, are expected to be without the services of Rachel Laws, Shanice van de Sanden and Niamh Fahey.

Midfielder Sofie Lundgaard has been pictured in training as she steps up her recovery from a knee injury, but the Denmark international remains unavailable for the away meeting with Leicester.

After seeing his side beat Man United in their last outing, Beard could be tempted to stick with the same starting lineup for the final game of the season.

Leicester Women possible starting lineup:

Leitzig; Ale, Thibaud, Howard, Cayman; Rantala, Tierney, Takarada, Whelan, Goodwin; Petermann

Liverpool Women possible starting lineup:

Micah; Clark, Bonner, Fisk; Koivisto, Nagano, Holland, Hobinger, Hinds; Enderby, Haug

We say: Leicester Women 1-2 Liverpool Women
