Preview: Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton Women – Sunday, 15 March 2026

The WSL is back after a three week break, with Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton Women at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. It might see some joy return to White Hart Lane, where there has hardly been a home victory in… forever?

The hosts go into the game a whopping 12 points ahead of their opponents. However, the Toffees are on a good run. They have won their last three WSL games. Spurs’s fortunes have been more mixed, going win-loss-win-loss-win in their last five. They are in fifth, behind Arsenal on goal difference alone. However, Gunners have two matches in hand.

Support From: FootballScribbles

As Lily White grows, it needs some support. I’m thrilled to say that FootballScribbles is the first brand to back this website.

FootballScribbles is an Etsy store with wonderful prints dedicated to women’s football. I have this fantastic one documenting the growth of Tottenham’s women’s team, and a smaller version of a Beth England print. They are very reasonably priced, arrived quickly and look great.

New Documentary on Nildén Sisters

Missing watching Spurs Women over this international break? Well, the club has released a new documentary about the Nildén sisters that might tide you over until the next game against Everton.

Called Nildén Sisters | From Sweden to becoming a Lilywhite, the 21-minute show tells the tale of the pair. Amanda made her move Tottenham in January 2024, initially on loan. The deal was made permanent in that summer. The defender/midfielder signed on a three-year deal at that point, and has grown in confidence as she has settled into the WSL. Her younger sister, Matilda, joined this January. She is slowly being introduced to the side by manager Martin Ho.

Martin Ho Named WSL Manager of the Month for February

Tottenham Hotspur Women’s boss Martin Ho has been named Manager of the Month for February 2026. The well deserved accolade follows another hugely successful few weeks in his tenure.

During February 2026, Spurs Women beat West Ham and Aston Villa away. The latter was a particularly extraordinary game, and a devastating attacking performance that saw Ho side’s net seven times. They also overcame London City Lionesses 8-9 in a dramatic penalty shootout to progress in the FA Cup. The only frustration was a defeat at home to champions Chelsea.

Spurs vs Crystal Palace: This is it

There has been an awful lot of hyperbole about the Spurs vs Crystal Palace fixture on Thursday, 5 March, 2026. After the results the night before, a lot of it is warranted. As regular readers know, this site is almost entirely focussed on Tottenham Hotspur Women. However, it’s hard to look away from the disaster unfolding on the men’s side of the club.

After an apocalyptically bad performance against Fulham, Tottenham go into this match a solitary point behind Nottm Forest and West Ham. It’s a dire situation. The players look bereft not just of confidence, but of any idea how to win a football match – a point rightly made on the latest View From the Lane podcast.

Spurs Men Need to Find Their Beth England

Bethany England joined Tottenham Hotspur Women from Chelsea on 3rd January, 2023 for a then tranfer record fee of £250,000. At that point, her new club were perilously close to the drop. She scored on debut against Aston Villa 11 days later, but couldn’t stop the rot, as the team went on to suffer a fifth successive defeat. 

Things did eventually turn a corner. England scored 12 goals in 12 appearances, saving her new side from relegation. That includes the goal against Leicester City that mathematically confirmed safety. England’s off-field presence was just as important as her goals on the pitch.

Aston Villa (3) vs Spurs (7) Post-Match Musings: What on Earth Happened Here?

I’ve just about recoverd from the craziness of Aston Villa vs Spurs in the WSL. The 10-goal-thriller finished 3-7, but the visitors could, and should, have been 0-6 up by half time. Chance after chance came and went. Against Chelsea, that wastefulness cost them. Not so on Sunday.

Spurs ended the game with 28 shots, 12 on target and an xG of 5.26. Aston Villa boss Natalia Arroyo described her opponents as “ruthless and clinical,” and the match as “cruel”. The first two figures suggest things could have been even worse for the hosts. Despite this, it was the best attacking performance all season from Martin Ho’s side, as the data from TwelveFootball’s Earpiece show.

Preview: Aston Villa vs Tottenham Women in the WSL – Sunday, 15 February 2026

After another failure against one of the big four, Tottenham Hotspur Women return to action against Aston Villa on Sunday, 15th February, 2026. It’s a must-win game for Martin Ho’s side, as they try to avoid ending the season in a slump.

As Ho noted in his pre-match press conference, the previous games between the sides so far this season, once in the league and once in the Subway Cup, have “been two really close encounters.”

Newcastle Fallout Chat, with Chris Cowlin

Following Tottenham Hotspurs disastrous defeat to Newcastle United in the Premier League , I had the pleasure of a group therapy session with Chris Cowlin Ricky Norwood and Craig Dearman. 

As you might imagine, we were all pretty flabbergasted at what we had seen. Unsurprisingly, most of the conversation was focussed on the future of Thomas Frank. I was pretty certain he wouldn’t make it 12 hours, and so it has proven. Let’s not pretend that the permenant replacement will be anyone other than Mauricio Pochettino.
