Tottenham Hotspur Women return to Women’s Super League action on Saturday with a chance to keep their top-three push on track when Everton visit Brisbane Road. Kickoff is set for 10 a.m. ET, and the match will be shown on Sky Sports in the UK rather than being available free to stream.
Spurs came into the day in fourth place, while Everton sat eighth, leaving Tottenham with a clear opportunity to add pressure near the top of the table. A win would have left Martin Ho’s side level on points with London City if London City lost at Arsenal on Sunday, which is why this fixture carried more weight than a standard league meeting.
Recent history points to another close contest
These two clubs have been fairly even in recent years, and the source material points to that balance. Last season, Tottenham and Everton split the league matches, with each side winning on the other team’s home ground. More broadly, the teams have been more or less even in the last five or six meetings, so there is little reason to expect a one-sided game simply based on recent history.
Tottenham also arrived with a bit of mixed form in the background. Midweek, they drew Crystal Palace in the Women’s FA Cup group stage and then lost the penalty shootout, so the league match offered a quicker chance to reset. Everton, meanwhile, came in looking to spoil a team still firmly in the hunt for a higher finish.
What Tottenham are playing for
The table situation makes the stakes straightforward. Tottenham are still in a position to challenge for a top-three finish, but there is little room for error. With London City scheduled to play Arsenal the next day, Spurs had a chance to make that result matter more by taking care of their own business first.
For Everton, the trip to Brisbane Road was a chance to frustrate a side that has not had much separation from them in recent meetings. For Tottenham, it was about turning a strong league position into something more durable as the season moves forward.
