Six sides will battle it out in the quarter-finals of the Continental League Cup tonight, with Tottenham hosting Chelsea in a mouth-watering London derby Tottenham will take on Chelsea in the quarter-finals of the Continental League Cup

Tottenham will welcome Chelsea to Brisbane Road tonight as the two sides battle it out for a place in the semi-finals of the Continental League Cup.

Both sides were caught up in Women's Super League postponement chaos at the weekend but, following a pitch inspection in East London, this evening's clash has been given the green light to go ahead. It will be the first time that former Chelsea striker Beth England will get the chance to come up against her old club, following her record-breaking switch to Spurs earlier this month.

Elsewhere, West Ham will travel to Prenton Park to contest their quarter-final tie with Liverpool. Paul Konchesky's side will be looking to bounce back from Sunday's disappointing WSL defeat to Everton, while Matt Beard has spoken about the importance of getting minutes into his players' legs after their last league outing was abandoned after just seven minutes due to a frozen pitch.

Bristol City, who are the only remaining Championship side left in this year's competiton, will also be in action at Ashton Gate tonight, where they will host Gareth Taylor's high-flying Manchester City side.

We'll be bringing you all the team-news, live updates and post-match reaction here on Mirror Football.
