Manchester United Women will be aiming to continue a perfect league record when we face Spurs at the impressive Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday evening.
The 18:45 GMT kick-off at the 62,000-capacity arena is an opportunity for Marc Skinner’s side to make it three wins from three in the Women’s Super League since the turn of the year.
United’s campaign resumed in 2025 with a brilliant derby victory away to Man City just under a fortnight ago, and the Reds moved up to second in the table by beating Brighton 3-0 at Leigh Sports Village last weekend.
All focus is now on this Sunday’s clash in the capital and, ahead of it, you can find everything you need to know below, including TV and radio commentary info, plus the latest team news…
United won the teams’ only previous encounter at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, in February 2023.
HOW TO WATCH AND FOLLOW
Our allocation of 2,174 tickets for the away end has now sold out, but if you are not heading to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, there are still plenty of ways to keep across the action.
Exclusive live radio commentary will be available on MUTV, ManUtd.com and the United App from 18:40 GMT, with short and extended highlights findable across our platforms from midday on Monday.
Supporters in the UK will be able to watch the match live on Sky Sports.
TEAM NEWS
Skinner told journalists that midfielder Lisa Naalsund is back in training ahead of the Tottenham clash, having been sidelined with an injury since November’s meeting with Spurs’ north-London rivals Arsenal.
The boss wasn’t clear on whether the Norway international will be involved, although forward Geyse (compassionate leave) and defender Evie Rabjohn (knee injury) are confirmed to miss this one.
As for the hosts, it remains to be seen whether midfielder Drew Spence will be able to return. Tottenham’s no.24 missed last weekend’s WSL win at Crystal Palace – having started every other league game this term – but returned to training before Wednesday’s rescheduled FA Cup tie at Everton.
January signings Lize Kop and Josefine Rybrink couldn’t play in that one having joined after the registration deadline for the initial fixture, while Kit Graham, Ella Morris and Eveliina Summanen are long-term absentees.
OPPOSITION REPORT
Our opponents in last season’s FA Cup final have also made a perfect start to 2025 in the league, despite going out of both domestic cup competitions since the turn of the year.
Robert Vilahamn’s side have defeated Leicester City and Crystal Palace on the last two weekends, ensuring the Swede is alongside Skinner as a nominee for the WSL Manager of the Month award.
Top scorer Beth England is up for the players’ prize, having netted the latest two of her seven goals across all competitions in 2024/25 in last Sunday’s 3-2 success at Palace – which was decided by a 95th-minute winner from the first of their three winter incomings, Olivia Holdt.
The north Londoners currently occupy sixth spot in the table – the same position in which they finished last season – and are four games unbeaten after losing five of the previous six, a run which included a 3-0 defeat to United in October’s reverse fixture.
England has faced United with Tottenham and Chelsea down the years.
DID YOU KNOW?
Manchester United striker Elisabeth Terland has scored more WSL goals against Tottenham than any other opponent (5), including a brace in the reverse fixture with Spurs in October when netting her first league goals for the Red Devils.
