      PREVIOUS MEETING

      A breathtaking Lauren Hemp scorpion kick and Chloe Kelly’s venomous corner helped us dramatically beat Leicester 2-0 the last time the side’s met.

      With the game goalless entering the final 10 minutes, the former’s superb strike provided euphoria and relief before her fellow England international all-but sealed the points shortly after.
