The result at the King Power Stadium also makes it nine unbeaten, extending a run that stretches back almost two months, and consolidates our grip on second place in the WSL table, before fourth-place Arsenal host leaders Manchester City and third-place Chelsea travel to fifth-place Tottenham.
Often rotating the team in recent weeks to keep players fresh, Marc Skinner again called on the deeper squad for this one. Hanna Lundkvist was handed her maiden WSL start, while fellow January addition Lea Schuller also came into the side, in place of Jayde Riviere and Eisabeth Terland.
There was also a very familiar face starting up front for the opposition, too, with former Reds favourite Rachel Williams leading the line after her recent homecoming move.
