The Women’s Super League stages a north London derby this afternoon as Arsenal host Tottenham at 5:30pm, with the Gunners looking to close the gap on league leaders Manchester City.

Arsenal enter the match in excellent form following their impressive 3-1 Champions League quarter-final first-leg victory over Chelsea on Tuesday night. The result has set up a perfect opportunity for the north London side to pile pressure on City at the top of the table.

The Gunners currently sit fourth in the WSL standings but could leap to second place and move within five points of Andree Jeglertz’s Manchester City side if they can secure victory and make the most of their two games in hand.

Contract boost for Arsenal

Adding to Arsenal’s positive week was confirmation that veteran captain Kim Little has agreed to extend her contract through the end of next season. The experienced midfielder’s commitment provides stability as the club pushes for their first WSL title since 2019.

Tottenham arrive having enjoyed their own positive campaign under new management. Martin Ho, who replaced Robert Vilahamn earlier this season, has recently agreed to a new deal with Spurs as he continues building his project in north London.

“What we’re building is something that demands consistency, discipline and a relentless drive to improve both on and off the pitch,” Ho said after signing his extension. “We want to be a team that plays with intensity, clarity and personality, and an environment where people are developed, supported and accountable.”

The Danish coach will be hoping to celebrate his new contract with a derby upset that could derail Arsenal’s title ambitions.

How to watch

UK viewers can catch the north London derby live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football, with coverage beginning at 5pm ahead of the 5:30pm kick-off. Sky Sports subscribers can also stream the match online through the Sky Go app and website.

Victory would represent a significant statement of intent from Arsenal as they look to maintain their momentum in both domestic and European competition.
