As Martin Ho takes to the home dugout at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the first time on Sunday afternoon, we will be seeking to extend our impressive home record in the Women’s Super League this term.
Picking up 16 points from our seven home fixtures at Brisbane Road to date, we’ve the second-best home record in England’s top flight this campaign - only current league leaders Manchester City have accumulated more points on their own turf (24).
And, having beaten Aston Villa and Leicester City in our last two clashes at Brisbane Road, we’ll be aiming to win three home matches in a row in the WSL for the first time since our promotion in 2019.
We head into Sunday’s London derby on the back of an impressive comeback win at West Ham United, with second-half goals from Matilda Vinberg and Olivia Holdt earning a 2-1 victory at Chigwell Construction Stadium.
That comeback was the third time we have won from behind in the league – our most wins from losing positions in a single WSL campaign – while we’ve won the most points from behind in the competition this term (nine).
However, to continue on our impressive run of form in front of our home crowd, we’ll need to achieve something that we’ve never done against London rivals Chelsea.
In our last 12 meetings with the Blues in the WSL, the six-time league champions have come out on top every single time.
Opponents Chelsea, though, will arrive in N17 having lost back-to-back WSL games for the first time since July, 2015 – suffering a 2-0 defeat to Arsenal followed by a heavy 5-1 loss to Manchester City.
Here are some other headlines pre-match facts, courtesy of Opta, ahead of Sunday’s London derby at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium…
Chelsea have dropped points in six different WSL games this season (D3 L3), their most times in a campaign since the 2018-19 season (8 times – D6 L2); since MD8 in November last year, only Liverpool (7), Everton (6) and Leicester City (4) have won fewer points in the top-flight than the Blues (8 – P7 W2 D2 L3).
We have won eight of their 14 league games this season (D2 L4), and we could now record nine victories in a single WSL campaign for only the second time after the 2021-22 season (also 8 in 2023-24). Our 28 shots in MD14’s win over West Ham were their most ever in a WSL game.
Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor has suffered back-to-back defeats for the very first time in her managerial career (P181 W149 D18 L14), while her three losses in Chelsea’s last five league games (W2) are more than she suffered across her first 104 league matches with Lyon and the Blues (W92 D10 L2).
Only Khadija Shaw’s goals (14 goals, 8 points) have yielded more points for their side in the WSL this season than those from Tottenham Hotspur pair Bethany England (4 goals, 7 points) and Olivia Holdt (4 goals, 6 points); Holdt is one of only two players to score from outside the area this season with both her left foot (vs Man City) and right foot (vs West Ham) alongside Brighton’s Marisa Olislagers.
Alyssa Thompson is Chelsea’s leading goalscorer in the WSL this season with five goals – that tally is already the third most ever by a non-English player for the reigning champions in a campaign while aged 21 or under, after Erin Cuthbert in 2018-19 (8 for Chelsea) and Kim Little in 2012 (7 for Arsenal).
