Both Chelsea and Tottenham picked up wins against West Ham in their first all-capital matches of the Women's Super League season.
Heading into Sunday's fixture, Chelsea are not only unbeaten in the league but have never dropped points against Spurs, having won all 12 matches against them since 2019.
Chelsea
Sonia Bompastor shared that both Niamh Charles and Lucy Bronze will be available for selection again on Sunday.
Bronze’s return will mark her first appearance since famously playing in the Euros with a broken tibia. Meanwhile, Charles has been unavailable since she was substituted at half-time on matchweek two vs Aston Villa.
Sjoeke Nüsken has also been passed fit to play, having been taken off in the midweek Champions League match vs Twente, due to a possible facial injury.
Tottenham Hotspur
Centre-back Molly Bartrip is yet to play for Spurs this season but manager Martin Ho says she may return to the squad against Chelsea.
Bartrip played every minute of the 2024/25 WSL season and captained the team on several occasions.
Martin Ho confirmed in his pre-match press conference that defenders Ella Morris and Luana Bühler are the only absentees ahead of this weekend’s match.

Key players
Chelsea - Aggie Beever-Jones
Chelsea’s top scorer was awarded the WSL Player of the Month award on Thursday, having scored in every match in September.
She is one of the players currently leading the league in scoring with four goals each and has scored in both Chelsea home games so far.
Cathinka Tandberg
Spurs’ deadline day signing from Hammarby has proved to be a successful one so far, with three goals and one assist in five matches for the club.
This includes an audacious strike on her full debut to solidify a victory over Everton, followed by goals in back-to-back games against Leicester City and Brighton.
