Arsenal Women hoping to sell out Emirates Stadium again for WSL derby with Tottenham

Arsenal Women are hoping to sell out Emirates Stadium for the second game in a row when they host Tottenham on Sunday.

As of Friday morning, just under 200 tickets were left for the north London derby.

Their clash with Manchester United last month sold out, the first time they had done so for a WSL game, and are now hoping to make it two on the spin.

"When we build a fanbase like this over the years, I hope it grows across the country," said Arsenal's Leah Williamson. "When you see bigger crowds everywhere, you won't just have to pick from a few teams in the top leagues. It'll be available almost everywhere."

Arsenal sit third in the Women's Super League table, three points behind leaders Chelsea and behind Manchester City on only goal difference. A win for Spurs, however, could see them climb into the top five.
