Chelsea vs. Tottenham, Women’s FA Cup: Confirmed lineups; how to watch
It’s a London derby in this Women’s FA Cup quarter-final, with Chelsea Women hosting Tottenham at Kingsmeadow on a sunny Monday afternoon. Admittedly a far from usual date and time for a match like this, but it’s football nonetheless.
Speaking of football, head coach Sonia Bompastor is not holding any punches with this starting lineup today. Spurs imposed a tough battle last time we met and we shouldn’t underrate them despite their bad form as of late.

Hampton | Carpenter, Buchanan, Girma, Charles | Walsh, Cuthbert (c), Nüsken | James, Kerr, Thompson
Substitutes from: Spencer, Peng, Buurman, Baltimore, Bronze, Potter, Sarwie, Kaptein
Tottenham starting eleven:
