The Opposition
Tottenham Hotspur will be hoping to end a run of three straight defeats in the Barclays Women’s Super League when they take on London rivals West Ham United on Sunday.
After a positive 4-0 victory over WSL newbies Crystal Palace on the opening day, Robert Vilahamn’s team are winless in their last four matches, losing out to Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea before the international break.
Vilahamn arrived at Spurs last summer and guided the Lilywhites to a sixth placed finish in his first season in charge. The Swede also took Spurs to their first ever Adobe Women’s FA Cup final, where his side were heavily beaten by Manchester United at Wembley.
In the off-season, Spurs recruited a number of experienced international stars in the form of Matilda’s duo Hayley Raso and Clare Hunt, Hungary international Anna Csiki and Spain international Maite Oroz. They also retained the services of defender Amanda Nildén, who made her loan move from Juventus permanent. Ten senior players departed, including Shelina Zadorsky, who joined West Ham permanently this summer.
