Tottenham have conceded twelve goals in their last two WSL games. Arsenal Women have spent weeks struggling for consistency. So what happens when two teams desperate for a result meet in the north London derby?
In this episode of Trailblazers, I look ahead to Tottenham vs Arsenal Women and examine what Renée Slegers needs to change to get Arsenal back to winning ways.
We look at Tottenham's attacking strengths and defensive weaknesses, the threat posed by former Arsenal player Victoria Pelova and why Arsenal need to rediscover the aggressive, coordinated pressing we saw during pre-season.
I also reveal my preferred Arsenal starting XI, including Emily Fox, Taylor Hinds, Kim Little, Georgia Stanway in a more advanced role, Géraldine Reuteler at number 10 and Alessia Russo leading the line.
Can Arsenal exploit Tottenham's defensive problems? Will Renée finally make the changes we've been calling for? And can we finish a weekend talking about a convincing Arsenal performance rather than another frustrating result?
Plus, my north London derby score prediction.
