How to watch Chelsea Women vs. Spurs Women in Australia

Just days after playing the reverse fixture in the league, Chelsea and Tottenham reconvene at the Chelsea Women’s home stadium; Kingsmeadow. The Blues boss, Emma Hayes is adamant to retain the Women’s Super League title as a minimum this season; having drastically faltered in Europe.

Spurs however are looking to assert themselves as ‘the best of the rest’ as a top-four finish looks unlikely as a gap has opened up between themselves in fifth place and the elite-level teams above them. Yet a victory here and if results go their way from now to the end of the season; the North London club could ascend the table.

Chelsea Women vs. Spurs Women preview

It would be a disservice to say that the clubs’ expectations for the season are chalk and cheese. There is however a sizable difference in that Chelsea has appeared in European finals whereas Tottenham Hotspur is arguably still re-establishing themselves as a WSL club having played second-tier football as recently as 2019.

The clubs have played five times before this season with Chelsea winning every contest; with the last occasion here at Kingsmeadow a comprehensive 4-0 victory. Chelsea stalwarts, Melanie Leupolz and Bethany England have come to relish this fixture and have both notched up three goals against their London counterparts in competitive games.

A Matilda in London: Sam Kerr

Whether she’s playing for the Matildas or Chelsea, Sam Kerr is a main event soccer attraction. Despite an initial struggle in her WSL career, the Australian is now an integral part of the club’s success. Her 55 goals for the club to date make her the club’s fifth-top all-time scorer; quite the feat in just 73 appearances for the Blues.

109 Caps and Counting: Kyah Simon

The 30-year-old striker, Kyah Simon has already made a place for herself in Matildas’ folklore having scored the winning penalty in the 2010 AFC Asian Cup. Now with over 100 caps to her name, Simon might not be the first forward that comes to mind for the national team sheet but adds a goal threat when she plays for Tottenham.
