Player to watch: Lauren James
Lauren James is enjoying her fourth season with Chelsea and heads into Wednesday's clash with Leicester in the midst of her best form of the campaign.
The England and Chelsea star has featured in seven WSL games this season, scoring three times, and has managed to find the back of the net in each of her last two outings against Brighton and Everton.
The England international has scored in each of her last two WSL games
We're backing James, who scored 13 times in 16 WSL appearances last season, to continue her good run of form in midweek against a struggling Leicester City side.
