Leicester City face Charlton Athletic at The Valley on Saturday in a winner-takes-all play-off clash for a place in the Women’s Super League next season.

It is the first match of its kind in WSL history, kicking off at 12.30pm live on Sky Sports and BBC 2.

City finished bottom of the WSL in the regular season, eight points from safety, and have lost their last 12 games in all competitions.

Charlton, meanwhile, sat top of the WSL 2 table going into the final game of the season, only to lose 2-0 to Birmingham City and slip out of the top two automatic promotion places.
