IN-FORM Women’s Super League leaders Arsenal make the short trip across north London to play Tottenham Women at The Hive on Saturday lunchtime. 

Jonas Eidevall’s buoyant Gunners will be gearing up for the 1.30pm kick-off, to be shown on BBC One, after a comprehensive 5-1 midweek victory in Denmark over HB Koge in the Champions League. 

Goals from Steph Catley, Nikita Parris, Caitlin Foord, Anna Patten and Jordan Nobbs helped the visitors to victory, consolidating second place behind Barcelona Femini — who handed them their only defeat this season last month.
