Liverpool FC Women Ready to Rally Against Leicester in FA Cup Quarter-finals

Liverpool FC Women are gearing up to face Leicester City in the quarter-finals of the Adobe Women’s FA Cup with a renewed sense of confidence, according to defender Emma Koivisto. The Reds have secured victories in their last three matches across various competitions, most recently claiming a 4-1 win over Aston Villa on the road, where Koivisto contributed two goals to the scoreline under manager Matt Beard‘s guidance.

Koivisto emphasized the team’s growing positivity and determination ahead of their clash against Leicester at Prenton Park. The players are eager to extend their winning streak and secure a spot in the semi-finals of the FA Cup, leveraging the home advantage and support from their dedicated fans.

The upcoming match with Leicester holds significance as both teams have previously met twice this season, each emerging victorious on home turf during the initial stages of the campaign. Despite Leicester’s aggressive playing style and high pressing tactics, Koivisto recognizes their potential and expects a tough challenge for Liverpool to overcome.

As a wing-back for the Liverpool side, Koivisto expressed her enjoyment of the attacking freedom the role provides. Alongside Jasmine Matthews, who has been delivering standout performances on the left flank in the absence of the injured vice-captain Taylor Hinds, Koivisto is relishing the opportunities to contribute offensively and capitalize on goal-scoring chances.
