Chelsea vs Spurs in the WSL is not exactly the trip Martin Ho and his players want to be making following their drubbing at home to London City Lionesses before the international break.
The hosts sit second in the table, their only slip-up a draw with Aston Villa on opening weekend. The Blues, of course, have a 100% record against Spurs in the WSL. Data from Twelve Football’s Earpiece show how strong they are in the final third. They have already netted 12 times in their 5 games.
Sonia Bompastor’s side have only conceded once. They defend with intensity and win their duels.
‘The team is looking good,’ according to Bompastor. ‘We had everyone back with a good level of fitness, and all the squad is available, so I’ll have some headaches for the game on Sunday.”
This includes Lauren James.
Spurs manager Martin Ho said that he “and the staff have tried to really dissect” what happened against London City Lionesses.” We feel we know certain parts where we were good in the game and certain parts we weren’t. But we were on the end of a ruthless London City with the chances they had.”
The stats show Chelsea have been ruthless, too. Spurs have battled against Chelsea in recent meetings. They will have to do so again if they are not to be on the end of another hiding.
