Chelsea Women v Tottenham Women preview: kick-off time, team news and form
Tottenham Women head to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea Women in the Women's Super League on Sunday 18th October 2026, with kick-off at 12pm UK time.
There's plenty at stake in west London. Chelsea sit second in the table on 13 points from their unbeaten start of four wins and a draw, while Spurs are fourth with 10 points after three wins, a draw and a defeat. A positive result for Tottenham would close the gap on the top four and continue their push to stay in touch with the WSL's leading pack.
Form going into the game makes for an interesting contrast. Chelsea arrive on the back of a WDWWW run, having beaten Birmingham City and Arsenal in the league and West Ham United 3-0 most recently, while also drawing with OL Lyonnes in continental action. Tottenham's form reads LWWLW, including a thumping 7-0 win at Crystal Palace and a 4-0 victory over Aston Villa, but they were beaten 6-1 by London City Lionesses in their last league outing.
Goals have flowed at both ends this season. Chelsea have scored 12 and conceded just once in the league, underlining a settled defence, whereas Tottenham have actually netted more - 16 goals - but have also shipped eight, with that recent loss to London City Lionesses denting their defensive record somewhat.
