This is a chance for Arsenal to keep the pressure on Chelsea and Manchester City at the top of the table, after City’s 2-1 win over Everton yesterday. Jonas Eidevall’s side will be hoping to entertain the home fans in a packed out Emirates Stadium.

For Tottenham, it’s a chance to beat Arsenal again after a historic 1-0 victory over the Gunners 1-0 in December (their first WSL win against Arsenal). Although Tottenham sit sixth in the table, Robert Vilahamn’s side will be keen to show they’ve closed the gap between themselves and their north London rivals.

important events
10 minutes: I forgot to count how many corners Arsenal won. It’s relentless pressure from the home side. Arsenal have scored a quarter of their goals (8 goals) in the first 15 minutes of WSL matches this season. Can we do the same today?
8 minutes: Arsenal had the upper hand in the early stages of the match. The midfield moves well on the right and Beth Mead sends in a cross. This was blocked by a Tottenham defender and headed for a further corner kick.
3 minutes: After Arsenal’s second corner kick, Alessia Russo had the first shot on target. But it’s comfortable for Spencer in goal. Then Russo had a chance to redeem himself. The third corner was smashed into the back post from the right. The ball fell to the Arsenal forward, but she only managed to poke it wide of the frame as she was stretching her body. It’s a promising start for Arsenal.
2 minutes: Arsenal earned a corner kick early on, but nothing ultimately happened. They will want to get off to a good start in front of their beloved fans.
1 minute: Tottenham kick-off at the Emirates in front of a capacity crowd.
However, Robert Villahamn will be hoping to spoil Arsenal’s party, as he hinted at Friday’s press conference. “I mean, we’ve never beaten them before and I think it shows our ability and it shows what we want to do every game against them, so it’s something we need to step up to. I think it was proof that he was stepping on it. Of course, it would be even better if we could beat them again and show the world that we are taking another step forward. ”
In fact, Emirates Stadium was packed to capacity for today’s derby. Idevalu was delighted as he spoke to BBC Sport pundits on the touchline.
Speaking at a press conference on Friday, Jonas Eydewall said he was excited by the prospect of a capacity crowd at Emirates Stadium today. “Yes, I heard there are 166 tickets left, so hurry up and if you’re lucky you can get the last one. It’s incredible and I hope it’s not a one-off. It was 12 months ago that we became the first women’s team to fill a stadium in the Champions League semi-final against Wolfsburg…we are not only aiming high. , we’re also looking for consistency. We’re looking for sustainability and creating a culture week in and week out at Emirates Stadium, and this represents great progress in that regard.”
Tottenham made three changes after losing 2-1 to Aston Villa before the international break. Spurs keeper Rebecca Spencer will replace Barbora Voticova. Charlotte Grant replaces Ashley Neville, who returns to the squad from injury. Bethany England will also be joined by Jessica Nas.
Arsenal made three changes after defeating Manchester United 3-1. Chloe Lacasse, Stina Blackstenius and Sabrina D’Angelo will replace Caitlyn Ford, Alessia Russo and Manuela Ginsberger. Idevalu’s side will be boosted by Leah Williamson’s return from injury.
