Arsenal will make the short journey to Brisbane Road on Saturday to take on their North London rivals Tottenham in the Women's Super League.

Vicky Jepson took the reigns at Tottenham as interim manager, following the clubs decision to sack former boss Rehane Skinner.

A Bethany England goal earned all three points for Spurs against Leicester in Jepson's first game, as they moved away from danger at the foot of the table.

Jonas Eidevall's side were beaten 1-0 by Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie in midweek.

Arsenal have the return leg to focus on at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night, but first they have to navigate their way past their local rivals in the league.

This will be the seventh North London derby in the WSL, with Tottenham still yet to muster a win against the Gunners.

Arsenal won 4-0 when the two sides met back in September and Jonas Eidevall's side will be confident that they can claim the bragging rights yet again.

  • Players to watch

Bethany England (Tottenham)

England scored a stunning winner during Tottenham's recent victory against Leicester and she remains her side's biggest threat.

She is capable of scoring a goal out of absolutely nothing, as she proved against the Foxes, when she cut inside from the left and curled an unstoppable shot into the top corner.

The 28-year-old has scored six WSL goals this season for Chelsea and her current club.

Arsenal have conceded only eight goals this season in the league, so it will need a special player to breach their backline and England certainly is that.

Caitlin Foord - Arsenal

The Australian has been involved in the most goals of any Gunners player in the WSL this campaign.

She has eight goal involvements in the top-flight and has scored or assisted in her last two league appearances.

Foord is, of course, one of many dangerous attacking players that Arsenal possess and Spurs will need to be weary of her.
