Arsenal will look to maintain their perfect start to the WSL season when they visit basement side Leicester on Sunday afternoon.

The Gunners have won five from five this term, with just goal difference separating Jonas Eidevall's side from current league leaders Manchester United.

Arsenal face a Leicester side who will have Willie Kirk in charge for the first time, after it was announced he would be replacing Lydia Bedford as the Foxes boss on Thursday.

Kirk takes the reins of a team without a point this season, having suffered a last gasp defeat to relegation rivals Reading last time out.

Leicester team news

Jess Sigsworth remains a long term absentee for Leicester following the ACL injury she suffered in February.

Hannah Cain was pictured back on the grass last week, having ruptured her ACL in November 2021.

The biggest change for Leicester comes in the dugout, with Willie Kirk appointed manager following Lydia Bedford's dismissal.

Arsenal team news

Arsenal continue to be without first choice centre back pairing Rafaelle and Leah Williamson due to respective foot injuries that the pair are both carrying.

Vivianne Miedema will also be absent for the Gunners, having been granted a leave of absence until after the international break to 'rest and recharge'.

Kim Little is unavailable after being forced off with a knee injury in the first half of her side's victory over West Ham last time out.

Leicester vs Arsenal score prediction

After injuries had a detrimental impact on their campaign last season, Arsenal have coped well with the absence of their first choice centre-back partnership this term, extending their winning run to five games and conceding only once.

Leicester have hugely struggled so far - although four of their six defeats have been by a single goal. Sunday should be a comfortable win for the Gunners - but Willie Kirk's appointment and the potential for a new manager bounce for the Foxes could yet throw a spanner in the works.

Prediction: Leicester 0-3 Arsenal
