Arsenal Women vs. Tottenham Women: match thread and how to watch
Spurs Women have a puncher’s chance in this one at the Emirates.

It’s the Women’s North London Derby, and Spurs Women are heading to the Emirates.
Earlier this season Spurs were level on points with Arsenal in fourth place in the WSL. Recent results — losses to Chelsea, Everton and Manchester City — have changed that. Arsenal are six points ahead of Spurs in the table and also have two games in hand.
But Spurs are still in fifth, nine points above Everton, and are well positioned back in their usual place of Best of the Rest. It’s hard to overemphasize how much of a gulf there has been between Arsenal and Spurs Women. Arsenal are a women’s football juggernaut, winner of multiple top division trophies.
Spurs only promoted to the top division in 2019. But that gulf has narrowed significantly in recent years. Spurs and Arsenal have played each other 20 times; Spurs have beaten Arsenal only twice in that time, with four draws, all of them recently.
