It will be an "emotional" return to Tottenham for new Leicester signing Ashleigh Neville, admits manager Rick Passmoor.
Neville joined Leicester from Spurs this month having spent almost a decade with the north London club.
It is an immediate return for Neville with Leicester due to face Tottenham in back-to-back games in the WSL and Women's FA Cup less than a week after her transfer.
"We know this game brings lots of emotions to the fore - two games against your old club straight away after a long-term history there," said Passmoor.
"We're there for her. Behind the scenes, we're there for the players. It's important we touch-in with Ash over these next few weeks."
The 32-year-old was part of the Spurs squad when they first joined WSL 2 in 2017-18 and helped them gain promotion to the top tier in 2019.
The wing-back also started Tottenham's first women's major final when they were runners-up to Manchester United in the 2024 FA Cup.
She made a total of 191 appearances for Tottenham and will be celebrated at full-time by supporters following Sunday's match (12:00 GMT).
