READING FC WOMEN turn their attention back to Women’s Super League action this weekend when they host Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
On the back of their Conti Cup win over Championship side Southampton, the Royals will be hoping to replicate their cup form in the league.
Kelly Chambers’ side are currently on four points from eight WSL matches which places them in 11th, above bottom side Leicester City who are yet to pick up a point.
Reading’s only league win this season came against Leicester after a dramatic stoppage time double from Rachel Rowe which saw them come out as 2-1 victors.
In their most recent league fixture, the Royals earned their first draw of the campaign in an entertaining 3-3 contest at home to Liverpool in which Sanne Troelsgaard’s 89th minute equaliser helped them avoid defeat.
Sunday’s opponents Spurs are currently in seventh position after picking up three wins and three losses in their six league matches.
Spurs’ three wins have come against Leicester, Liverpool and Brighton.
They picked up a stunning victory on the road at Brighton by smashing eight goals past the Seagulls without reply at the end of October.
Meanwhile, Tottenham have lost out 4-0 to Arsenal, 3-0 to Manchester City and 3-0 to title holders Chelsea in their three defeats this season.
Reading and Spurs have already met once this season in the Conti Cup.
In their group game, Spurs came away with three points after goals from Ashleigh Neville and Nikola Karczewska helped them to a 2-1 success despite Natasha Dowie’s late penalty for Reading.
When the two teams last met in the WSL, back in March, the game ended goalless at the SCL.
