Match preview

Chelsea boss Sonia Bompastor has made an impressive start to her tenure, having overseen five consecutive victories in all competitions, including three wins in the WSL.

The Blues kicked off their league campaign with wins over Aston Villa and Crystal Palace, before they edged out Arsenal in last Sunday's encounter at the Emirates Stadium.

Mayra Ramirez and Sandy Baltimore grabbed a goal apiece to fire Chelsea to a 2-1 victory, ensuring they are still one of two teams with a 100% record in the WSL.

Chelsea enjoyed another successful outing in Thursday's Women's Champions League clash against Twente, with Aggie Beever-Jones, Maika Hamano and Guro Reiten all finding the net in a 3-1 away victory.

The Blues will fancy their chances of claiming another win in Sunday's fixture, having won each of their last four home league games without conceding.

They have also won all of their nine WSL home games against Tottenham, including a narrow 1-0 victory in their most recent meeting in May.

Tottenham have experienced an underwhelming start to the WSL campaign, having won just one of their first four league matches.

That sole win took place on the opening day of the season when they produced a free-scoring display to cruise to a 4-0 victory over newly-promoted Crystal Palace.

Spurs managed to salvage a point in their away game against Aston Villa, but they have failed to take anything from their last two matches.

Robert Vilahamn's side fell to a narrow 3-2 defeat in their home meeting with Liverpool, before they were swept aside in last Sunday's clash against Manchester United.

Elisabeth Terland netted a brace before Maya Le Tissier scored a second-half penalty to condemn Spurs to a heavy 3-0 defeat at Leigh Sports Village, extending Tottenham's winless away run to five league matches.

Having conceded eight goals in fourth matches, Tottenham will head into the weekend with the second-worst defensive record in the top flight.

Spurs will have to tighten up defensively if they are to have any hope of taking at least a point off Chelsea for the first time in their WSL history.
