Bizet's clearance from the corner is poor and it's picked up by Walti. She tries to dink one into the middle of the box, but it's a little too far and Spencer comes out to confidently claim the ball.

Little tries to chip it to Miedema in the six-yard box, but it's headed behind for another corner. 

Spurs are getting well overrun in midfield at the moment. Arsenal are turning the screw. Opportunities coming thick-and-fast now.

Little down the right, Mead inside, overlapping, it's back to Mead in the box, but Neville recovers well and is able to boot it out for a corner before it gets too dangerous.

Bizet spots Zinsberger off her line, but that's well wide. Ambitious. 

20 mins: Arsenal 1 Tottenham 0  

Arsenal come again and Turner heads the ball out for an Arsenal corner. The home team are well on top so far. Spurs have managed to reorganise their defence a little, but they're still unable to mount much in the way of an attack.

McCabe with a couple of balls swung in to the box. First across the ground, sliced away, second one she goes for the aerial route, but that's headed away and Spurs are able to clear their lines.

16 mins: Arsenal 1 Tottenham 0

Neville fouls McCabe to concede a free kick on Arsenal's right, 30 yards out.

It's played short, around the corner, looking for the pull back across the box, but it doesn't quite come off and goes out for a goal kick.

Arsenal go on the counter and win a corner.

McCabe goes close, hitting Spurs on the counter attack.

Beth Mead strikes again!

She drifts out to the left side of the front three, goes for a ground cross from inside the box, it's deflected back out to her and she opens her body up and curls it into the far side of Spencer's goal.

Spurs looked pretty disorganised at the back there, they'll be wanting to fix that.

Turner gifts the ball straight to Foord, a dodgy back pass on the right there. 

It comes to Walti who pulls the ball back across the box to Mead, she's completely unmarked, goes for it first time, but Neville is there to deflect it away!

Kick off!

Tottenham get us under way.

Spurs manager Rehanne Skinner is confident her squad will be able to rise to the big-venue occasion

It's an opportunity to play in front of a volume of fans that some of them won't have been able to do before unless they've been at major finals, FA Cups.

Certainly the excitement on the pitch today in our last training session was evident. It'll pose some challenges in terms of communication and things like that because it's difficult to hear but genuinely it's the route we all want to go down and it's something we've all got to start getting used to and that we want to be doing more frequently.

I can only see the positives in it.

Good afternoon

Hello and welcome to Telegraph Sport's live coverage of the Women's Super League north London derby as Arsenal look set to break the league's attendance record when they host Tottenham at the Emirates this afternoon.

The Gunners have now sold 51,000 tickets. The previous WSL record, 38,262, was set in 2019 when the same teams met at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Gunners boss Jonas Eidevall believes that fans being prepared to invest in such unprecedented numbers sets a vital benchmark for the league's future and he is keen for it to be no one-off.

"Remember it's 50,000 sold tickets," he said. "It's not giveaways, it's not sold for a discounted price. It's sold tickets. And I think that's really, really special, because that means doing this the way the club has done it it's sustainable.

"It shows that the interest there is for real. That's the investment that we as a team, as a club have done but also past generations or past teams have done to put us onto this stage here, that's phenomenal."

Arsenal, last season's runners-up, are favourites to win this afternoon's derby, boasting England stars including Leah Williamson, Beth Mead and Lotte Wubben-Moy from the Lionesses' historic summer.

They enter the clash off the back of a thumping 4-0 victory over Brighton, but Eidevall was quick to quash any seeds of complacency.

"It starts at zero," he said. "If you think that you are entitled to win, or if you're expected to win, that will stress you right away. That's not the way to go about a football game.

"You have to respect the opponent. You have to respect the game."

Rehanne Skinner's Spurs are also looking to pick up another three points after beating Leicester 2-1 on the opening weekend.

They will be without Rosella Ayane, who is out for about four weeks after fracturing her foot against Leicester. It is, admitted Skinner, "another blow" to a side with "not necessarily a full lack of availability, but certainly not 90 minutes fit for some players."
