Chelsea will hope to take another step towards retaining the Barclays FA Women’s Super League title when they face London rivals Tottenham Hotspur at Kingsmeadow on Thursday evening.
The two sides only met in the reverse fixture five days’ ago with Chelsea running out 3-1 winners at The Hive despite the first half dismissal of goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger.
Chelsea manager Emma Hayes will be without the services of the German international keeper for her side’s latest game due to her suspension while Fran Kirby remains sidelined with a mystery illness. Hayes also revealed in her pre-match press conference that Niamh Charles and Ji So-yun only completed part of a club training session, although The Blues boss was not overly concerned and the pair could make the squad.
Tottenham Hotspur head coach Rehanne Skinner remains without defender Ria Percival and forward Kit Graham who are sidelined for the long term through injury. Ashleigh Neville will serve a one-match suspension following her booking in the reverse fixture while there are not thought to be any new injuries amongst the Spurs squad.
