Reading FC Women will look to break their winless run this weekend at Leicester City Women.
It has been eight Women’s Super League games, nine in all competitions, since the Royals recorded a win.
That slump in form has seen Kelly Chambers’ hopes of making the top four diminish as they have slipped down to eighth in the standings with two games to go.
The Royals squad also looks threadbare for the remainder of the season after a long term injury to forward Emma Harries, which left them with just three outfield players on the bench in their defeat to West Ham United last weekend.
However, a remarkable run of form earlier in the season means that Reading are well clear of the relegation zone with seven WSL wins to their name this campaign so far.
Meanwhile, Sunday’s opponents Leicester, find themselves in relegation trouble and in need of points to try and avoid the drop.
They are currently four points above bottom side Birmingham City but the Blues have one game in hand, three left to play while the Foxes only have two.
Leicester have been in dreadful league form, losing all of their last five league matches.
The Foxes’ defensive woes has seen them concede 32 goals in their last six matches in all competitions, which included a 9-0 thrashing at the hands of Chelsea.
Leicester have conceded the most goals in the division (52), while the second lowest goalscoring tally in the league (14).
When Leicester visited the Select Car Leasing Stadium in January, the Royals took three points thanks to Natasha Dowie’s 11th minute strike.
