Star midfielder believes Tottenham can upset Chelsea in next WSL match

Eveliina Summanen believes Spurs can cause an upset against Chelsea this weekend

Tottenham have kicked off their season with a fast start and although they come up against Chelsea this weekend, one player in the Spurs ranks is confident her side can get a win.

Quick start for Tottenham in WSL

Not many have been able to kick off their WSL campaign as quick as Tottenham have this year.

Spurs have only lost one league game so far and the disappointing defeat came to high-flying Manchester City.

The 5-1 loss was sandwiched either side of four wins in the league and with 12 points Spurs are currently third in the WSL.

Only Manchester City and Chelsea hold a better record than the Lilywhites and they don’t look like slowing down any time soon.

Cathinka Tandberg scored again last weekend in a 1-0 win against Brighton. The goal was Tandberg’s third goal in five games and her second in a row.

Can Tottenham beat Chelsea?

Tottenham’s resolve will really be tested this weekend, with the high-flying side facing off against the champions.

Spurs will travel to a Chelsea side unbeaten in 30 league games on Sunday afternoon and although the prospect is daunting, one Tottenham player is confident her team can get a win.

“I think we just need to keep focusing on ourselves,” Eveliina Summanen said. “There’s still a lot of work to do in the way we play — we want to be a little bit better every single week.

“As long as we focus on ourselves, we’ve got a good chance to get a win and a clean sheet against Chelsea. Why not?”

Summanen has been with Tottenham for three years now but believes this year could be her team’s best yet under Martin Ho.

The problem for Spurs could come with their goalscoring ability. Although they have been winning well this season, Ho’s team have been grinding out wins with three of their four victories coming by just one goal.
