With just five games remaining, Leicester City need to rapidly turn things around to avoid relegation from the Women's Super League. Defeat by Aston Villa on Sunday was their sixth in a row and kept the Foxes three points adrift at the foot of the table. Speaking on BBC Two, White said: "They were so positive, so direct and they got 1-0 up in the first half. Even if Leicester finish bottom this season, it will not be fatal for them. As the Women's Super League is expanding to 14 teams, no side will be automatically relegated, but the 12th-placed club will face a relegation play-off at the home of whoever finishes third in the WSL 2.
