Leicester City have a chance to "write a different story", says manager Rick Passmoor amid risk of relegation from the Women's Super League.

The Foxes are seven points adrift of safety with three games remaining so must beat Arsenal in Wednesday's meeting (19:00 BST) to avoid finishing bottom.

However, there is no automatic relegation with the bottom WSL club set to meet the third-placed team from the WSL 2 in a play-off match for the first time.

"Everybody is working together in the direction we wish for. Can we see that through and ensure we keep a positive mentality together?" said Passmoor.

"Behind the scenes there are not many players that have been in this situation before so we need to remain united and focused on what we can achieve.

"There are always different headlines. Can we write a different story in these final three games?"

Leicester's opponents, European champions Arsenal, have not lost a league game since October and won the reverse fixture 4-1.

Renee Slegers' side are still in with a chance of winning the WSL title with three games in hand on leaders Manchester City, though it is out of their control.

Knowing what's at stake, Passmoor hopes his players can rise to the occasion and block out any noise of potential relegation.

"The pressure is from the outside. We have to focus on what we are good at to compete. We have a great opportunity to represent a terrific club," he added.

"We have hard-working staff and players. We can change the narrative and the story and enjoy this opportunity to play in these last three games.

"Everybody thought we would be in this position last summer with all the changes. But we're together and we're staying to our principles to get us over the line."
