The Women’s Super League will play host to a north London derby this afternoon as Arsenal host Tottenham .
The Gunners come into the match in fine form after beating Chelsea 3-1 in the Champions League quarter-final first-leg on Tuesday night , and could pile some pressure on league leaders Manchester City with a win.
They presently sit fourth in the WSL , but could go second and within five points of Andree Jeglertz’s City provided they win both of their two games in hand.
Adding to Arsenal’s positive week was the news that veteran captain Kim Little had agreed to extend her contract through the end of next season.
Tottenham have also enjoyed a postive campaign, though, and have promising contract news of their own.
Martin Ho, who took over the reins from Robert Vilahamn this season, has also agreed a new deal.
After signing, he said: “What we’re building is something that demands consistency, discipline and a relentless drive to improve both on and off the pitch.
We want to be a team that plays with intensity, clarity and personality, and an environment where people are developed, supported and accountable.
There has been progress, but we know there is much more to come.”
