Tottenham Women v Crystal Palace Women preview: kick-off time, team news and form
Tottenham Women host Crystal Palace Women at Gaughan Group Stadium on Wednesday 11th November, with kick-off set for 7.00pm, in a WSL Players Cup League Phase clash from Group A.
There's plenty riding on this one in terms of seeding for the knockout stages. Tottenham currently sit sixth in the group standings with seven points from three games, while Crystal Palace are ninth with six points from four matches, so both sides will fancy a win here to boost their push towards the top of the table, where Manchester United and London City Lionesses currently lead the way.
In the league itself, Tottenham are flying a little higher, sitting fourth in the Women's Super League, while this Players Cup meeting gives both clubs a chance to pick up momentum in a separate competition altogether.
Form in the Women's League Cup tells its own story. Tottenham go into the match having won two and drawn one of their last three outings in the competition, with a goalless draw against West Ham followed by away wins at Brighton and then a thumping 6-1 win at Bristol City, their last three reading DWW. Crystal Palace, on the other hand, have had a tougher run in the competition, winning their first two outings against Watford and Charlton before back-to-back defeats, losing 2-3 away at Southampton and then 2-4 at London City Lionesses, leaving their last four reading WWLL.
Looking across all competitions, Tottenham arrive in decent shape having won their last three games, following defeats to Chelsea and Arsenal with victories over Bristol City in this competition, then Birmingham City and Brighton & Hove Albion in the league, a run of LLWWW. Crystal Palace's form in all competitions has been tougher going, with four defeats in a row before a win over Charlton Athletic in their most recent outing, reading LLLLW.
There's no mention of previous meetings between the two sides in the material available, so this preview can't draw on history between the clubs beyond what's been outlined above.
On the team news front, Tottenham Hotspur's official club website confirmed the starting line-up and substitutes for their Women's Super League fixture at home to Brighton & Hove Albion, as reported by TottenhamHotspur.com (TottenhamHotspur.com), though no further team news has been provided specifically for this Crystal Palace fixture.
