Arsenal could hardly be in better form right now, so can they pick up three more precious WSL points? Last weekend, Renée Slegers' side smashed West Ham 5-0 at home, Chloe Kelly scoring a hat-trick, extending their unbeaten WSL streak to 11 matches, winning each of the last four. Despite this, the Gunners remain fourth, two points below Chelsea and three adrift of Manchester United, albeit with two games in hand over both. Remember, only the top three qualify for next season's Champions League, making every point precious.
Meanwhile, in this year's Champions League, Arsenal are still dreaming of retaining their title. On Tuesday night, the Gunners claimed a statement 3-1 victory over fierce rivals Chelsea in the first leg of their quarter-final encounter. Stina Blackstenius opened the scoring, Kelly spectacularly lashed home from long-range soon after, before Alessia Russo struck late on. With the return leg at Stamford Bridge to come on April Fool's Day, how crucial could that two-goal buffer be?
Overall, that is now eight wins on the spin across all competitions, but Slegers' team must keep that going. A huge crowd, as always, is expected at Emirates Stadium come Saturday evening for this North London derby, so will all the fans in attendance have a win to celebrate?
As for Tottenham Hotspur, they will be no push-overs. The Lilywhites are currently fifth in the WSL, just six points below their neighbours, which would represent their joint-highest top-flight finish of all-time. Spurs though do come into this one having lost four of their last six outings, including being demolished 5-2 by Manchester City at Joie Stadium a week ago. Martin Ho's team did manage to hold Arsenal to a goalless draw at Brisbane Road in November, so can they repeat the feat?

Arsenal team news
With this fixture coming in the middle of the two legs against Chelsea, expect a fair amount of rotation from Renée Slegers. Australian trio Steph Catley, Kyra Cooney-Cross and Caitlin Foord could all feature, back in London having helped the Matildas reach last weekend's AFC Asian Cup Final, beaten 1-0 by Japan in Sydney.
Elsewhere, Frida Maanum came off the bench against Chelsea, having sat out the win over West Ham due to illness. Leah Williamson though remains a doubt due to a hamstring issue, not forecast to be involved once again. If Slegers does rotate, Smilla Holmberg, Taylor Hinds, Olivia Smith and Victoria Pelova are among those who could come in.
Lastly, a word on captain Kim Little, who signed a one-year contract extension this week. The 35 year old has made 405 appearances for the Gunners, scoring 177 goals, and would love to get her hands on some more silverware before departing, having won 17 major honours to date.
Predicted Arsenal lineup vs Tottenham Hotspur: Borbe; Holmberg, Wubben-Moy, Codina, Hinds; Pelova, Caldentey, Russo; Smith, Blackstenius, Kelly.
Tottenham Hotspur team news
Spurs boss Martin Ho signed a new long-term contract this week, and has had a full week to prepare for this derby. They are though without the injured Amy James-Turner, Ella Morris, Maite Oroz, Luana Bühler and Jessica Naz.
Speaking of the aforementioned Asian Cup, Clare Hunt has undergone ankle surgery after sustaining an injury during that tournament. In happier news for Spurs players, Maika Hamano scored the winner in that final down under, so could return to the Tottenham team alongside compatriot Tōko Koga.
Predicted Tottenham Hotspur lineup vs Arsenal: Kop; Wijk, Nildén, Bartrip, Koga; Hamano, Gaupset, Holdt, Vinberg; Tandberg, England.
Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur score prediction
We cannot see any other outcome than an Arsenal victory on Saturday evening. Spurs have not even managed to score across the last four North London derbies, while Tottenham's record at Emirates Stadium is horrendous. Arsenal have won all four derbies in the WSL at the Emirates, scoring 13 goals and conceding zero, trends we're expecting will continue.
Prediction: Arsenal 3-0 Tottenham Hotspur
