City travelled to the King Power Stadium knowing we could close the gap on the WSL top three to just four points with a win.
Third-placed Manchester United were the team who the Blues could realistically pip to that final European spot, with a victory setting up a fascinating tie at Old Trafford on Sunday provided they failed to beat Chelsea in midweek.
But standing in our way was a Leicester side enjoying their best-ever run of form on home soil in the top flight.

The Foxes were unbeaten at the King Power Stadium since November heading into the clash, with Crystal Palace’s defeat to West Ham earlier in the day also confirming their WSL status ahead of kick-off.
It was going to be a tough day at the office for City, but with Alex Greenwood and Lauren Hemp both named in the matchday squad for the first time since recovering from injury, the Blues had been provided a major boost.
Could we get the win and keep our hopes of Champions League football next year alive?
