Both teams have experienced mixed fortunes this season, with Tottenham sitting seventh and Arsenal in fourth place on the league table. Despite being the joint-third highest scorers in the competition, Spurs have struggled with injuries and have managed just two wins in their opening seven games under manager Robert Vilahamn.
Arsenal, on the other hand, have had a relatively stable season, suffering only one loss so far. However, their campaign has been marked by inconsistency, winning just three of their seven matches. A recent change in leadership sees Renee Slegers stepping in as interim head coach following the departure of Jonas Eidevall.
History and Rivalry
Last season, Tottenham stunned their rivals with a 1-0 victory at home, a historic win that delighted fans in N17. With captain Beth England leading the charge, Spurs will aim to replicate that feat against an Arsenal side that boasts a rich legacy in women’s football. Unlike the Gunners, who are seasoned contenders, Spurs are relatively new to Women’s Super League football, still finding their footing in the professional game.
What to Watch
The Gunners will rely on key players like Alessia Russo, Frida Maanum, and Stina Blackstenius to provide attacking firepower. Meanwhile, Spurs will look to their squad’s resilience and home advantage to challenge one of the league’s giants.Stay tuned as our Spurs correspondent, Alasdair Gold, brings you live updates, analysis, and key moments from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
