Tottenham Hotspur Men had a great London Derby on Saturday. Tottenham Hotspur Women have a London Derby of their own... but it’s going to be a much bigger challenge. Spurs head to Kingsmeadow to face undefeated and five time reigning WSL champions Chelsea today under the lights on the back of a two match losing streak and an injury crisis.
I’ve been surprised by Spurs in the past, but this one could get ugly. Chelsea are (again) hella good and well managed, and Spurs are still trying to find their feet after two losses and a draw in their last three league matches. Maite Oroz is currently out injured for the next few weeks, and there are questions over the fitness of Haley Raso and Amanda Nilden. However, we might get to actually see Ella Morris in action; she hasn’t made her club debut yet after signing this summer due to a preseason injury.
Either way it’s going to be a long, long day in South London if Spurs can’t firm up their defense. That said, they’ve beaten Manchester City and Arsenal in past years... maybe they’ll give us a surprise today!
This is another match that’s televised in the UK, so the match will be streamed on ESPN+ and NOT on YouTube.
