Tottenham Hotspur vs. Chelsea: Team News & Possible Line-ups
The possible line-ups are derived from previous match days. We take into consideration how strong the opponents are, what players are injured and of course team news before the match.
Team News Tottenham Hotspur
Robert Vilahamn with the latest squad update: “Drew and Eveliina will return from suspension, while we have no new injuries, so we’re looking strong.”
What the coach has to say:
Robert Vilahamn on facing Chelsea: “I think Chelsea are so dynamic in how they play. Of course, you see a style, but there’s also tactical aspects and I think Sonia’s brought a few of them, sometimes playing Sandy Baltimore at left-back and moving her up anyway, building on three… you see a lot of rotations. But you can also see the different types of players.
“So, even if they play the same formation, they play a certain player, Mayra Ramirez as a nine or Beever-Jones as a nine, you get different dynamics, and that’s the biggest strength they have. They have tactics, but they also have some high-quality players, the bench is also high-quality players, they can always find ways to get into the game and find ways to win the game. Last game, they scored from a set piece and that shows the high quality of what they’re doing. Obviously, they showed everything in the transfer window at Christmas too, they keep investing, us and the other clubs need to keep going and keep going otherwise they’re going to extend the gap, and we don’t want that.”

Sonia Bompastor gave an update on Mayra Ramírez: “I think she will need some days for it to settle down with the pain, but I’m not too concerned. I think she could be available for the last days of the season.”
On rotating the squad: “Yes, there is the opportunity to do that [rotate] in the game on Sunday,’ she replied when asked. ‘For some players, it will be an opportunity to get a rest – this last block has been really busy.
“Some players will have to have this break to be ready to compete in the final games. The good thing about Chelsea is you have depth in the squad, there’s enough quality to be ready to perform again on Sunday. Some didn’t play much in recent games. So it will be the opportunity to find the right balance between having fresh legs, but also giving the opportunity for some players to rest.”
What the coach has to say:
Sonia Bompastor on winning the title and finishing the season unbeaten: “We just won the title on Wednesday. I could be in a mood where I’m thinking about it and really enjoying it, but I’m already focused on the next one. This is an obsession for me and I think for most of the players at Chelsea. Mentally you need to be tough, you need to be really committed, you need to work hard.
“I’m never satisfied when we win. I want to win by a bigger goal difference or by defending better or by scoring more goals. So, this is this mentality and I’m lucky to have players in my squad who have the same. It’s really powerful every day in training.”
