The Blues welcome the Foxes to the Joie Stadium on Sunday 4 February, with the 13:00 (UK) kick-off available to watch live on CITY+.
It will represent the third time we will have faced Willie Kirk’s side this term after our 1-0 success in the reverse Barclays Women’s Super League fixture at the King Power Stadium in October.
However, the East Midlands side held us to a 2-2 draw in our Continental Cup meeting in November before beating us to an extra point on penalties.

City enter the fixture looking to apply further pressure to league leaders Chelsea who sit one place and three points above us, as well as extending our unbeaten run in all competitions to nine straight matches.
But Taylor is fully aware of Leicester’s threat ahead of the clash.
“A tough one [challenge]. They’ve certainly, since the back end of last season when Willie took over, they’ve become a different type of proposition,” he explained.
“They’re very aggressive in what they do. It doesn’t always work for them. But I think that he and they realise this is the way for them to go. Is to kind of be as aggressive as they possible can.
“Try to impose themselves on opposition teams. Like I say, sometimes it works, sometimes it can create issues because it’s so difficult to take care of everything in the game.
“You kind of want to play in one particular way which can leave you vulnerable elsewhere. I’m expecting a tough challenge.
“The game at the King Power was that game in terms of very aggressive, very compact in player for player scenarios that left quite a bit of space in-behind which we should’ve exploited better.
“We did on occasion, but we should’ve exploited better. We came away with a win which could’ve been more. We know we have to to be at our best, but we’ve been playing pretty well.
“There’s been some really good performances and results. We’re back home in the Joie Stadium which is good.
“Before we embark in three different competitions in 10 days. [I’m] looking forward to the challenge ahead.”
