#### The Opposition

Manager Amandine Miquel took over Leicester last summer, with the team sitting in 11th with WSL safety assured for next season.

Palace Women's first ever WSL win came against Leicester in October, [with an Annabel Blanchard brace earning the Eagles a historic 2-0 win.](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/match-reports/crystal-palace-women-leicester-october-2024/)

Leicester made the headlines earlier in the season by being the first team to take points off of Sonia Bompastor's imperious Chelsea team in December.

Watch out for Finland international Jutta Rantala, and Leicester's first ever Lioness: Ruby Mace.

Speaking on injuries, Smerud said: “No, not any new injuries. I think today in training we were the most we have been so it's a positive development.

"We have some uncertainties so we'll have to look when we get to Sunday. It looked really, really bad in the beginning, now it looks better and we could do a good training session today. 

"Competition in the squad is a good thing."

Reflecting on the psychological impact of the club’s confirmed relegation, he offered a thoughtful assessment: “I think these situations are very interesting from a psychological perspective. 

"I think going into the game we played where there was a lot at stake, you could see the pressure getting to us and a lot of uncertainty shows up. 

"What's going to happen with me? What's going to happen with the club? What's next? 

"I've told them that this is a great opportunity to learn from that. How do you deal with that kind of uncertainty?

"We are determined to show a different side of us after that performance on Sunday, which we didn't like at all. 

"Then it's to see how different people cope in different ways. It's finding what you need to do now to start performing again.”

On the team’s response in training, he said: “Today it looked good. I think it's important to take a few days and put this behind and then start looking forward. 

"I think the reaction so far this week has been as expected. We need to bring that into game situations. Training is one thing but now it's to prepare and perform in games. That's what matters.”

Chelsea's 1-0 away win against Manchester United on Wednesday saw the Blues clinch a sixth consecutive WSL title. 

When asked about what Chelsea's dominance meant for the league, Smerud was keen to heap praise on Sonia Bompastor and her team: “I must congratulate them. It's an impressive performance to do it over and over. I think it should just be inspiration. What I've seen with dominant sides is that it lifts everyone. 

"You can't lay down and complain about it. You have to work harder and learn from it. All credit to them. I don't think it's damaging. I think it's inspiring.”

As for how Palace can return stronger next season, he said: “I think that evaluation will be very important. It's a bit too soon to go into what it is now. It's on many different levels. The benefit of facing adversity is that if you use it the right way, you can grow from it. 

"It will be really important for us as a club to look at what was done and what was not done and what can be done better going forward. It's a huge, huge learning opportunity for coaches, for players, for leaders and the club. 

"We should really take care of that and come back stronger. If we look at what it takes to be in the league, we now have a first-hand experience of it. We need to use that.”
