Arsenal vs leicester city

Leicester City could be relegated if they lose to Arsenal on April 29, 2026, at the Emirates Stadium. This match represents a critical juncture for Leicester, who currently sit at the bottom of the Women’s Super League (WSL) table.

Leicester has struggled this season, winning just one league match. They trail 11th-placed West Ham United by seven points, making their upcoming clash against Arsenal vital for survival in the league.

Key statistics:

• Arsenal Women have won each of their nine WSL games against Leicester City.
• Leicester City has lost all five of their last WSL matches, conceding a total of 14 goals.
• Arsenal Women are unbeaten in their last 12 WSL games.

Renee Slegers, manager of Arsenal Women, expressed confidence in her squad’s depth and resilience: “We are always strong, and that’s, again, the strength of our squad, the power of our togetherness…”

In contrast, Leicester’s manager Rick Passmoor emphasized the need for a positive mentality as they face a daunting challenge. He stated, “Everybody is working together in the direction we wish for. Can we see that through and ensure we keep a positive mentality together?”

The last meeting between these two teams ended with Arsenal securing a convincing 4-1 victory.

Alessia Russo has been particularly effective against Leicester City, recording 10 goal involvements in six WSL starts against them. Meanwhile, Chloe Kelly will miss this match due to an ongoing muscle strain.

As it stands, if Leicester loses at the Emirates, they will be confirmed at the bottom of the table with two games to spare. This would mark a significant downturn for a club that has been in the top-flight since the 2021-22 season.
