Liverpool spurned the chance to inch closer to WSL survival as bottom-of-the-table Leicester battled to a 1-0 victory at Prenton Park.
The clash marked the first ever Women's Super League meeting between the two sides; Liverpool having scored four without reply when they travelled to the King Power in the Continental Cup back in October. The Reds took to the field on Sunday looking to record a third consecutive home win for the first time since January 2018 and knowing a victory over the Foxes would almost guarantee their top-flight status beyond the end of this season.
Leicester started the day in the league's sole relegation spot, having won just one of their previous 11 games and having failed to pick up a single point on their travels this term. Willie Kirk made one change to the side that were beaten 2-0 by Manchester City last time out, with Ruby Mace coming in for Georgia Eaton-Collins, while Rhiannon Roberts for Emma Koivisto was the only change for the hosts.
