ICYMT: Spurs Break 33-Year Record Amid Controversy

Vidosic vs. Chelsea

Dario Vidosic has had a rough patch as Brighton’s head coach. His team hasn’t won in six games. They sit in fifth place but are falling behind the top three by 12 points. Now they have to face Chelsea, who are unbeaten. In their last match, Chelsea won 4-2. The reigning champs seem ready to keep winning. While Sam Kerr is out, Chelsea still has a strong team working toward another title.

Arsenal and the London Derby

Arsenal is 10 points behind Chelsea. Though a title win seems out of reach, they want a Champions League spot for next season. Their next challenge is against West Ham in a London derby. Arsenal’s Aussie players, Caitlin Foord, Steph Catley, and Kyra Cooney-Cross, will be crucial in this match. They played well against Spurs before the break and hope to keep the momentum going. West Ham wants to surprise and shake up the standings.

Liverpool Starts Fresh Without Beard

Liverpool has had a tough time and just let go of their head coach, Matt Beard. They’ve only won four league matches this season. Last year they were close to reaching Europe, but this season isn’t looking great. Now, they face last-placed Crystal Palace, who has only one win. This could be just what Liverpool needs to boost their confidence. Matildas goalkeeper Teagan Micah will aim for a clean sheet to help Liverpool bounce back.

Manchester City Aims for a Win Against Spurs

Manchester City wants to stay in the title race after slipping to fourth place. They risk missing out on the Champions League. They did win against Liverpool in their last match and hope to keep that going against Tottenham. City’s top scorer, Khadija Shaw, and Mary Fowler will challenge Spurs’ defense. Charli Grant and Clare Hunt from the Matildas will have their hands full trying to stop City’s attack. Fowler has become very important for City, and Hayley Raso is also a strong performer despite Australia’s recent struggles.
