Spursvs.Liverpool

Meanwhile, the Reds will be hoping to claim their first victory after failing to win any of their three competitive matches this term.

Match preview

Tottenham have made a promising start to the new season, having won two and drawn one of their three matches in all competitions.

Robert Vilahamn's side kicked off the season with a dominant 4-0 win over newly-promoted Crystal Palace, before they rescued a point in last Sunday's away meeting with Aston Villa.

After giving up a slender lead, Spurs looked set to fall to a 2-1 defeat until substitute Bethany England netted a 96th-minute equaliser to ensure her side left Villa Park with a point to show for their efforts.

The North London club went on to score a couple of more goals in their midweek Women's League Cup game against Charlton Athletic, with Maite Oroz and Jessica Naz grabbing a goal apiece in a 2-1 away victory.

Having scored eight goals in three matches, Spurs will hope that firepower can now help them claim their first win over Liverpool since recording a narrow 1-0 win in October 2022.

Liverpool have experienced an underwhelming start to the 2024-25 season, having seen their three competitive matches produce two draws and one defeat.

After drawing 1-1 with Leicester City in their WSL opener, Liverpool looked set to claim maximum points in last Sunday's away meeting with West Ham United.

However, Olivia Smith saw her seventh-minute opener cancelled out by Riko Ueki's late equaliser, ensuring the Reds had to settle for a point for the second game in a row.

Matt Beard's side then experienced a disappointing result in their midweek Women's League Cup clash against rivals Manchester United, falling to a 2-0 defeat following goals from Melvine Malard and Rachel Williams.

Liverpool will now turn their attention back to league action, and while they have had to settle for draws in their first two matches, they can take confidence from the fact they are unbeaten in six WSL matches since losing to Man City in March.
