(Reuters) – Tottenham Hotspur’s Women’s Super League home game against Arsenal in December will be played at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the club said on Wednesday, with another league-record in sight.
The first North London derby at the stadium in November 2019 set a then-record WSL attendance of 38,262 and the December clash could welcome another record crowd with the venue’s capacity at more than 62,000 seats.
The current WSL record attendance is held by Arsenal, who welcomed 54,115 fans to their season opening home game on Oct. 1, a 1-0 loss against Liverpool.
Spurs are fourth on six points from three games, one point adrift of the top three — Manchester City, Leicester City and Chelsea — and level with Liverpool in fifth.
They next travel to Aston Villa on Saturday before hosting Everton at Brisbane Road on Nov. 5.
