Managers' comments

Charlton Athletic manager Karen Hills: “My aim and ambition, as a manager, as a former player at Charlton, has always been to try and help support the club, get back into the top flight of women’s football.

“We’ve been progressive over that time. The women’s team have gained momentum throughout the club… we’ve really put our identity into now being a very competitive BWSL 2 team.

“The next step is ultimately trying to achieve all our dream and our ambition.”

Leicester City manager Rick Passmoor: “We were wanting to stay up without going to this final game of the play-offs but this gives us another opportunity. With how the players have trained and how focused they are, we’re looking forward to Saturday.

“Karen has had a fantastic season with Charlton, unbelievably well organised. Many years ago you’d go and win comfortably, that isn’t happening anymore.

“I think it will be very cagey until potentially someone goes into the lead. It will be all about mentality from there for both teams.”
