Liverpool crashed out of the Women's FA Cup in the quarter-finals after a 2-0 defeat to Leicester City at Prenton Park
The trophy cabinet at the AXA Melwood Training Centre was given a much-needed revamp this week, with Liverpool's Women's Super League and Women's Championship cups now proudly on display at the Reds' state-of-the-art West Derby base.
"Recent games between us have usually been very close, so we're expecting a very tough challenge but it's one that we're going to be ready for. There's a semi-final at stake and that's a huge incentive, so we're really looking forward to it." The fact that the Kaiser Chiefs' 'I Predict a Riot' could be heard emanating from the away dressing room at Prenton Park before kick-off seemed to suggest the Foxes were heading into the contest determined to block out any external clamour.

But ultimately Liverpool only have themselves to blame for serving up one of their poorest performances of the season in what was arguably the biggest game left on their fixture list.
