Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City will hope to find their way into the fifth round of the Vitality Women’s FA Cup when they battle it out in an all-Barclays FA Women’s Super League tie at The Hive this afternoon.

Both sides come into this game on the back of losses with Rehanne Skinner’s Spurs team on the end
of a 3-0 dismantling at the hands of Manchester United last weekend while Leicester City were beaten 2-1 at home to Aston Villa.

Spurs’ new signing Eveliina Summanen could be in-line for her first appearance for her new side with international clearance having been obtained. Cho So-hyun and Kyah Simon will miss out as they are currently away on international duty at the AFC Women’s Asian Cup India 2022, their respective nations are facing-off this morning in a quarter-final tie.

Lydia Bedford’s Leicester City side boast no new injury concerns heading into this game but as The Foxes’ struggles in the league mount, a cup run may not be at the forefront of their thoughts.

Spurs have a good record over their East Midlands opponents, winning all three of their previous encounters without conceding. The FA Women’s Continental League Cup semi-finalists will hope to build on that record here.
