Who’s ready for a North London Derby? No, not that one, the OTHER one. Tottenham Hotspur Women host arch-rivals Arsenal today in the first Women’s NLD of the season. Spurs are coming off of a 4-2 loss
away at London City Lionesses last weekend, but are still having a good start to the new season under head coach Martin Ho. Spurs are currently fifth in the table, level on points with Arsenal, who are in fourth. Spurs have only ever beaten Arsenal once — a historic 1-0 win in 2023. That said, Spurs defeated Arsenal 4-3 in a preseason friendly in August. Can Spurs do it again? Anything’s possible!
Spurs flying high behind the play of new signing Tinka Tandberg and midfielder Olivia Holdt, and are solid at the back behind CB pairing Toko Koga and Clare Hunt. But they’ll need to be good on both sides of the ball in order to get a result today. Incidentally, this match is at Brisbane Road, and I’m a little disappointed by that, as these are the kinds of matches that normally make for an anticipated match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The match is not televised in the USA, but is on Sky Sports in the UK, and streamed on ESPN Select in the states.
