Having won just one of their 14 league matches, Bristol City are facing the very real prospect of dropping straight back down to the second tier.
The Robins fell to a heavy 5-2 defeat to Leicester City in their final game before the international break, with the result representing their fourth loss in five league matches.
Although they have scored seven goals across their previous four games, their vulnerability at the opposite end of the pitch has left them on the verge of relegation.
Lauren Smith's side have shipped 38 league goals this season, leaving them with the worst defensive record in the top flight.
The hosts are still searching for their first home points of the season, having lost each of their six home league games.

Brighton interim boss Mikey Harris is still searching for his first WSL points after seeing his opening two league games end in defeat.
Harris saw his side lose 2-0 to Manchester United in his opening game, before the Seagulls fell to a narrow loss in their home meeting with Liverpool.
The South-coast side have now won just one of their last eight league games, with their struggles in front of goal contributing to that poor run of form.
Brighton have failed to trouble the scoresheet in five of those eight matches, including each of their last three outings in the WSL.
Perhaps the Seagulls can take confidence from the fact that they racked up the goals to win 3-2 in their most recent meeting with Bristol City in January.

We say: Bristol City Women 1-2 Brighton & Hove Albion Women
Although Brighton have won just three league games this season, we think that they will prove too strong for a Bristol City side that has lost 10 of their 14 WSL matches this term.
