BBC Sport looks at Leicester City's impressive turnaround with the Foxes surpassing expectations early on in the Women's Super League season.
Last season Leicester City lost their opening nine matches, entered the winter break without a point to their name and found themselves deep in a relegation battle.
"You've got to give credit to Willie Kirk. He has really turned that team around," former Tottenham captain Jenna Schillaci told the Football Daily podcast. The 45-year-old, who had head coach spells at Bristol City and Everton before joining Leicester, has prioritised an aggressive, possession-based identity with the Foxes.
Leitzig's impressive form from last season has continued with the German shot-stopper making more saves than any other goalkeeper in the league so far this season. Flaherty added: "What they lacked last year was and out and out goalscorer. They created chances but they didn't have that finished product. Now he seems to have got a good blend in the whole team."Leicester City lost by an aggregate score of 31-1 to the top four teams - Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Manchester City - in the WSL last season
