It has been a baptism of fire for Leicester City in the Women’s Super League.
They were worthy winners of the Championship last season and have had four promotions in six years under manager Jonathan Morgan. But they have now lost four out of four games in the top flight.
The positive for Leicester is that they are not alone. Birmingham and Reading are also on zero points. The Royals, with their experience, are expected to improve but Birmingham look set to be the Foxes’ relegation rivals.
The problem is that their next two league games are at champions Chelsea and runners-up Manchester City at home.
