Matilda Nilden is eyeing victory at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this Sunday.
Following an extended international break, Women’s Super League action returns this weekend and our Women’s team are back in N17 as we take on Everton for the first time in our world-famous home (kick-off at 11.55am UK).
After an impressive February across the league and FA Cup, which saw Martin Ho named the WSL Manager of the Month last month after wins over West Ham United and Aston Villa, we are looking to continue our impressive campaign under our Head Coach.
As we now approach the final stretch of the season, a victory over the Toffees will see us match our Club record for most points achieved in a single season (32 in 2021/22 campaign) and there will be no better feeling than to achieve that on home soil.
Winter arrival Matilda experienced her first game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last month, coming on as a second-half substitute against the Blues, and the young Swede is hoping to put on a good performance for our Lilywhite fanbase.
I really hope we can put in a good performance in front of our fans and get the three points this time.
“It was so fun to play there [Tottenham Hotspur Stadium],” she told us, looking ahead to the clash. “The stadium is so cool, fresh, and I really liked stepping out there for the first time against Chelsea. Now to be there once again this weekend, it will be so much fun and I really hope we can put in a good performance in front of our fans and get the three points this time.”
“As a team, from what I have seen in my early months, we just keep on going – no matter what result we get. We react well and have shown the capability of bouncing back. The last game against London City Lionesses [in the FA Cup] was really good as a team and we want to build on that.”
On the scoresheet for the Sweden Under-23s in the most recent international break, the 21-year-old has made four appearances for us since her winter switch from BK Hacken and she has admitted the move to the WSL has been something of a learning curve thus far.
“I really like the team, and I feel I can develop as a player at the Club. Obviously coming into a new club can be difficult, but I feel I have really grown since I joined,” she explained.
“Compared to Sweden, I feel every game in England is a lot more competitive – no matter where each team is placed in the league. I also feel the tempo is higher in every game here, you can’t really drop your standard at any point.”
