Chelsea Women are set to face off against their London rivals, Tottenham Hotspur Women, in Sunday's Women's Super League showdown at Kingsmeadow.
Chelsea's manager, Sonia Bompastor, has enjoyed a fantastic start to her time in charge, steering the team to five straight victories across all competitions, including three wins in the WSL. The Blues opened their league campaign with back-to-back triumphs over Aston Villa and Crystal Palace and followed that up with a narrow win against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium last Sunday.
On the other hand, Tottenham have struggled to find their form in the WSL this season, securing just one win in their first four league matches. That solitary victory came on the opening weekend when they delivered an attacking masterclass in a commanding 4-0 win against newly-promoted Crystal Palace.
