Chelsea Women vs Liverpool postponed, Spurs Conti Cup preview

For Tottenham to stand a chance against a club looking to get back on track in the attack, Skinner needs to place an emphasis on the defense rather than what her team can do going forward. Given the depth that the Blues possess, nearly any squad that Hayes selects to begin the match could compete at a high level. Rotation and lots of opportunities for players like Alsu Abdullina, Katerina Svitkova, and a player like Melanie Leupolz should be things to look for. Leupolz made the bench this past weekend and is looking for her first minutes on the pitch since she returned from her maternity leave.

Both Svitkova and Abdullina have combined for five-goal involvements in six matches played in all competitions this season. Their impact off the bench has been evident, despite those matchups against low-level opposition. This should be a chance for Hayes to deploy them both along with many talented Blues players that sink in the depth of a squad like this.

The Blues are 9-0-0 against Spurs all-time, scoring two or more goals in seven straight matches. It should be an interesting meeting between these two rivals, especially with the way this past weekend unfolded, but for the west Londoners, it is still all about taking care of business. Just three matches remain before the Blues receive a month off from club football, and there is nothing the club would love more than having a chance at all four available trophies with just a few months of the campaign left.
