Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur – Match preview and team news | OneFootball

Arsenal Women welcome local rivals Tottenham Hotspur Women to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday evening for a high-stakes North London derby.

The Gunners enter the weekend in fourth spot and full of confidence. They recently dismantled Chelsea 3–1 in the Champions League quarter-final first leg. Notably, Renée Slegers’ side are currently on a 10-game winning streak across all competitions.

Arsenal have transformed the Emirates into a fortress, remaining unbeaten in 16 consecutive home matches. Furthermore, they have kept five consecutive clean sheets in the WSL during 2026.

Tottenham, meanwhile, travel across North London looking to recover from a difficult run of results. Spurs sit sixth in the table, trailing their rivals by six points despite playing two extra games.

Martin Ho’s side suffered back-to-back league defeats against Manchester City and Everton. Significantly, Tottenham have only beaten Arsenal once in WSL history. They have also failed to score in their last four league meetings with the Gunners.

Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur – Match preview and team news

Team News

Arsenal

Renée Slegers welcomes back Australian stars Steph Catley and Caitlin Foord from the Asian Cup. However, Kyra Cooney-Cross will miss the rest of the season for personal reasons.

Leah Williamson also remains unavailable for this fixture. Notably, Chloe Kelly is in scintillating form; she netted a hat-trick against West Ham last week. Only Khadija Shaw has a better goal involvement rate in the league than Kelly this term.

Tottenham

Spurs are bolstered by the return of Asian Cup winners Tōko Koga and Maika Hamano. Nevertheless, they face a defensive crisis with Clare Hunt, Luana Bühler, and Amy James-Turner all ruled out.

Ella Morris faces a late fitness test following a long-term injury. Notably, Maika Hamano arrives with high momentum after scoring the winning goal in the Asian Cup final.

Form

Arsenal

Arsenal are the WSL’s form team in 2026, averaging 2.6 points per game since the turn of the year. They remain unbeaten in 11 top-flight matches and have won four of their last five league games. Notably, the Gunners have conceded just seven goals from open play all season.

Tottenham

Tottenham’s pursuit of a top-three finish has faltered following four defeats in their last five league outings. While they have improved on last season’s points tally, their away form remains a concern. Spurs have won just one of their 11 WSL road trips this season.

Arsenal Women Predicted XI (4-3-3): Borbe; Fox, Wubben-Moy, Catley, McCabe; Maanum, Little, Caldentey; Kelly, Foord, Russo
