Birmingham City Women return to league action on Sunday afternoon as Amy Merricks’ side welcome Tottenham Hotspur to St. Andrew’s @ Knighthead Park (2pm).
Blues head into the fixture looking to build on a positive run of performances, having secured their first league victory of the season with a 1-0 win over Charlton Athletic last weekend. Merricks’ side also enjoyed an emphatic 5-0 victory over Durham in the Subway Players Cup before losing to Aston Villa on penalties in midweek in the same competition.
Currently 11th in the WSL table with six points from their opening seven fixtures, Blues will be looking to use their recent results as a platform to climb up the division.
Sunday’s visitors sit fifth, having collected 10 points from their opening seven games. Tottenham have shown plenty of attacking threat this season, scoring 19 league goals, although recent defeats against Chelsea, London City Lionesses and Arsenal have highlighted some defensive vulnerabilities.
