Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea will meet for the first time this season in the Barclays FA Women’s Super League when they contest their latest fixture at The Hive on Sunday.
COVID-19 has played a major part in the cancellations of scheduled meetings between the two sides, resulting in the pair contesting back-to-back league fixtures against each other in the space of just five days over the course of the next week.
Tottenham Hotspur lost New Zealand international defender Ria Percival to an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury during the international break and she will now face at least nine months out. Long term absentee Kit Graham remains sidelined.
Head coach Rehanne Skinner has indicated that the club are juggling one or two knocks but she remains hopeful of having the remainder of her squad available this weekend.
Chelsea manager Emma Hayes continues to be without England international forward Fran Kirby as a result of a mystery illness. The Blues boss has confirmed that all other players are fit and available for selection ahead of her side’s latest match.
The Barclays FA Women’s Super League fixture between Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea at The Hive kicks-off at 2.30pm on Sunday afternoon. Tickets remain on-sale and can be purchased by clicking here.
