Tottenham v Chelsea: Women’s Super League – live

Spurs manager Robert Vilahamn has said: “We had a really good performance against Chelsea in the first game of the season and, now, we are here in the second to last game of the campaign, so it will be good to see how we compete against them because, when they have a good day, they are probably one of the top four sides in the world.

“We want to try to compete and go for the win, but we also accept that, sometimes, we might need to defend.”

This is Emma Hayes’ final week at Chelsea as she will depart this summer to become the new head coach of the USWNT. She has said: “I’m going to enjoy being in this position. You don’t often get into a position where you are competing for a title going into the last two games of a season. For those of us who have won titles, we know how hard it is.

“I’m happy to be in the position we’re in. I know we have two tough games but I’m looking forward to them.”

Tottenham fullback Charli Grant has defended her Australia teammate and best friend Kyra Cooney-Cross this week after a picture emerged of the Arsenal player wearing a Spurs scarf. She was wearing it at the FA Cup final where she was supporting her friend. Full story:

One of the biggest stories in the WSL this week has been Arsenal announcing Vivianne Miedema will leave the club on a free this summer. It has been reported the club did not offer the Gunners legend a new deal. All the details are here:

Hello and welcome back to our Women’s Super League coverage. Tonight we focus on a game which could help determine the winner of this season’s league as Chelsea take on Tottenham.

The match is the game in hand Chelsea have because of their Women’s Champions League run, which was ended by Barcelona in the semi-finals. The Blues currently trail Manchester City by three points at the top of the table. If Emma Hayes’ team beat Spurs this evening they would go top of the table, sharing the same points as City but ahead on goal difference.

Tottenham, meanwhile, are looking to bounce from their Women’s FA Cup final defeat to Manchester United. They were defeated 4-0 at Wembley last Sunday and so it is a quick turnaround for this match. Despite the emotional toll the final would have taken, they will be more than capable of causing an upset tonight.

Grace Clinton has been a star for Spurs this season but was unable to play in the final because she could not compete against parent club United. She will be among those hungry for a result this evening. We will find out if she is in the starting team shortly so stay tuned ahead of kick-off at 7.15pm BST.
