WSL strugglers Leicester handed "near perfect" warning ahead of tough Chelsea challenge

Leicester City manager Willie Kirk admitted his team will have to be 'near perfect' if they want to rival a threatening Chelsea this weekend.

Bottom of the table welcomes top as the Foxes host Emma Hayes' side at the King Power Stadium as the Barclays Women's Super League returns. The two teams last locked horns in March this year as Chelsea won 9-0 in a humbling defeat for the home side.

And Kirk is well aware of the oncoming challenge as the Blues look to extend their lead at the top of the table. "The challenge they pose is one of world-class level," he said. We need to cause Chelsea some stress, we know they're going to cause us some and we need to get our defensive organisation right.
