Bristol City Women
Bristol City Women, languishing at the bottom of the WSL table, are eager to break their 11-game winless streak.

The Robins have struggled, especially at home, losing seven consecutive league matches and conceding 22 goals in the process.
Their defensive frailties will need urgent attention if they are to stand a chance against a confident Spurs side.

Sitting comfortably in sixth place, Spurs have gathered 22 points from 16 matches and are looking to improve on last season’s ninth-place finish.
They aim to extend their winning streak against Bristol, having already secured 3-1 and 3-0 victories in their previous encounters this season.
