Fearless Tottenham Women derby against Arsenal

Tottenham Women are looking for their first-ever victory over north London rivals Arsenal as they continue to showcase their new attacking style of football in the WSL.

The much-anticipated north London derby will see sixth-place Tottenham take on second-place Arsenal, just three days after their League Cup clash went all the way to penalties.

A real rivalry is developing between the North London clubs

Tottenham had an unexpectedly strong start to the season, picking up wins over Aston Villa and Brighton, but have since suffered some heavy defeats.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are flying high off the back of their famous 4-1 victory over title-rivals Chelsea last weekend when goals from Beth Mead, Amanda Illestedt and a brace from Alessia Russo earned them the win.

The win brought them level on points at the top of the WSL with Chelsea, only behind by three on goal difference.

The stage is set for a showdown at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the final round of matches before the Christmas break.

A test for the ‘Tottenham Way

Tottenham and Arsenal have played each other a total of ten times across all competitions – and the best Spurs have ever been able to achieve is a draw.

But Tottenham goalkeeper Becky Spencer is confident that the team are ready to seize the opportunity to do what they have never done before.
