Our under-18s kick off 2025 with a highly anticipated north London derby as we host Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, January 11. The match will take place at Sobha Realty Training Centre, with kick-off scheduled for 11am (UK time).

Currently sitting ninth in the table with 10 points, we’ll be looking to start the new year positively and secure our first league win of 2025 against our local rivals.

In our most recent outing, we secured a thrilling 4-3 victory over Hertford Town in the FA Youth Cup third round, thanks to goals from Louie Copley, Andre Harriman-Annous, and a brace from Dan Casey.

The Opposition: Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham have made a strong start to their league campaign, currently sitting third with 18 points from 11 games, including five wins, three draws and three losses.

Their most recent fixture saw them secure a 3-2 victory over Middlesbrough in the FA Youth Cup, thanks to a late penalty from Tynan Thompson. Spurs are on a five-match unbeaten run across all competitions, with their last defeat dating back to late October.

The last meeting between the two sides came in the penultimate game of last season, where Spurs staged a late comeback to win 3-2.

A key player to watch is their prolific attacking midfielder, Luca Williams-Barnett, who has amassed an impressive 10 goals and four assists in just nine league matches this season.

We made it five wins from the last six games in all competitions with a 3-0 north London derby victory at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.

It took just two minutes for Alessia Russo to volley us into the lead before Frida Maanum slotted into the bottom left corner for 2-0.

Stina Blackstenius scored shortly after coming on as a second-half subtitute in a dominant derby display.

what happened

Mariona Caldentey, replacing Beth Mead in the starting XI after Tuesday’s 4-0 win at Juventus, created our opening goal when she found Russo inside the 18-yard box.

Our centre-forward made no mistake, nestling the ball into the bottom right corner on her left foot.

She coolly shot past Becky Spencer to double our lead during a confident, convincing, clinical first-half display.

We did invite Spurs into it though just beyond the half-hour mark, giving the ball away to Drew Spence who picked out Bethany England. The latter forced a great save from Daphne van Domselaar, who tipped the powerful strike over the bar with the ball destined for the top right corner.

The following set-piece led to another corner for the home side, taken by Eveliina Summanen. It came out to Jessica Naz, whose first-time effort was too soft to trouble our goalkeeper.

After Mariona and Katie McCabe both fired free-kicks straight into the midriff of Spencer at the other end, we went into the break with a two-goal cushion.

We made one change at half-time, Kyra Cooney-Cross coming on for Little, and the former was called into action early in the second half when she teed up McCabe, who hit another free-kick straight at Spencer.

Russo crossed for Caitlin Foord, who fired wide of the post, with half an hour to go following a neat passage of play. Both players then made way, with Mead and Blackstenius coming on to replace them.

Blackstenius almost made an instant impact, hooking the ball just over the bar after a brilliant run down the left by McCabe. Blackstenius did get her goal moments later, finding the back of the net courtesy of a clever touch from Mariona.

Spurs had a sight of goal when Summanen sent a free-kick to Spence, but her effort was comfortably caught by Van Domselaar. Renee Slegers then made another change, introducing Rosa Kafaji in place of Mariona.

Lotte Wubben-Moy came on for McCabe as our final change of the match with just over five minutes remaining.

We’re fourth in the WSL with 15 points from eight games, four points behind leaders Manchester City.

We head to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the first north London derby of the season in the Barclays Women's Super League on Saturday (1.45pm kick-off).

Since a 4-1 win at home to Valerenga on October 16, we've gone five games unbeaten in all competitions, beating West Ham United 2-0, Brighton & Hove Albion 5-0 and, most recently, Juventus 4-0. We also drew 1-1 at Manchester United during that period.

There were four different goalscorers in Tuesday's UEFA Women's Champions League success in Italy, with Frida Maanum, Stina Blackstenius, Mariona Caldentey and Caitlin Foord all getting in on the act.

goals at either end

After a promising start to the season with a 4-0 win at home to Crystal Palace, Tottenham have won just once in the WSL with a 2-1 victory over West Ham.

They drew 2-2 against Aston Villa, lost 3-2 at home to Liverpool, lost 3-0 away to Manchester United, lost 5-2 away to Chelsea and were beaten 4-0 away to Manchester City.

Those results have left Tottenham seventh in the WSL with seven points from seven games and the leakiest defence in the division with 18 goals conceded.

what the managers say

Slegers: "I was there last year so I did two or three [north London derbies] even. You can see and feel it in the preparation for the game as well how big it is, so I’m looking forward to it a lot.

"I think Tottenham are a strong team. They've been playing a top four opposition in quite a lot of games already, which are tough games. I think they might be stronger than the results they've had so far. So, we're really respectful of them as an opponent, they have some individual qualities. I think they show great mentality and do things together. So, it's going to be a very hard opponent. But again, I think if we keep on bringing what we're bringing, I think we're a top team. So, it's going to be interesting to see the two teams against each other tomorrow."

Vilahamn: “We need a great game plan for Arsenal. It’s not hard to motivate ourselves for the north London derby. We are going to go for it and try to make our fans proud.

"It’s a derby and we’re going to do everything we can to stop them and score some great goals."

team news

Renee Slegers confirmed that there were no fresh injury concerns in her pre-match press conference on Friday.

"There will be changes [from Tuesday] because the Champions League squad is bigger than the WSL squad, so we'll have 20 players in the squad tomorrow," she explained. Everyone is fit who has been fit, but Amanda Ilestedt is away because of her baby and Victoria Pelova is still out."

For Tottenham, Amanda Nilden is back in contention for Saturday’s game after she returned to training this week, while Maite Oroz and Kit Graham remain sidelined.

facts and stats

Kim Little and Leah Williamson could both make their 150th WSL appearance in this game with Jordan Nobbs (157 for Arsenal) and Millie Bright (155 for Chelsea) the only other players in the competition’s history to reach that milestone for a single club.

Laura Wienroither's next appearance will be her 50th in all competitions for us.

We have won seven of our nine games against Tottenham in the WSL and have either kept a clean sheet (5) or conceded exactly once (4) in those meetings with Spurs.

We are unbeaten in our last six WSL away games (W4 D2), our best run on the road without a league defeat since February 2023 (11 games).

Only Vivianne Miedema (8) has scored more WSL goals in the north London derby than Caitlin Foord, who has netted seven times in just eight league appearances against Spurs.
