Leicester hope to pick up their twelfth win in the Women’s Championship when they host the Bees

Leicester, who are in pole position in the Women’s Championship, are looking to pick up their tenth win on the bounce since drawing with Durham in October. 

And they face a Bees side who are second from bottom and battling to avoid the drop having collected just two points in seven games since December. 

Morgan said: “I know they’re struggling at the other end of the table, but that’s probably more dangerous for us because they’ve got everything to fight for, they’re looking for survival. 

“We’re not going to take them lightly. But at the same time, we also know that we have to be professional and efficient and dispatch them this weekend.

“I’m sure London Bees are going to be set up strong and ready to defend. 

“I’ve made it no secret to the girls that I want us to be ruthless this weekend as  it could come down to goal difference this season. That’s the reality. 

“At the minute we’re boasting eight more goals than Durham. 

“But if there are more opportunities for us to score more goals, we want to take full advantage of that.

London Bees are hoping to pick up their first win in the Women’s Championship this year

Morgan was speaking a day after football chiefs announced the return of the Women’s FA Cup.

The competition was halted in January due to the coronavirus lockdown with its first three rounds being classed as ‘non-elite’ sport. 

Outstanding first round fixtures will be played on March 31 followed by second round games from April 4

And the third round – which takes place on April 11 – will be followed seven days later by the fourth which will see Leicester take on former WSL giants Liverpool

The Foxes, who were knocked out by Man City in the quarter-finals of last term’s contest, aim to defeat the Reds who have reached the finals three times. 

Morgan added: “It’s been a very difficult year for everybody and it’s been a very difficult year, I guess for the FA to fit things in.
