Eva Olid: "I always think that before big games, you want to give confidence to the players and at the same time, on the matchday, you try to motivate them with the opposition. It’s a derby. I think they are always motivated but against City, there has to be something else, no?"
Eva Olid: "When you are in a good moment you don’t want to stop. You want to continue. When you win more, you want more of that. It instils confidence and we have ambitions to keep winning. We know it will be really competitive but our mentality has to be to keep winning matches.

Martin Ho says Jess Naz is in contention to make the Tottenham squad for tomorrow's north London derby. "She has been exceptional in the last 10 days in terms of her training, her attitude and confidence in how she feels physically. There are big decisions for me now." #thfc
Sonia Bompastor on Lexi Potter's loan spell at Palace: "Being the main leader in that environment was crucial & the fact she could play many minutes was also crucial for her development & her confidence. Having that loan at Palace was very beneficial to where she is right now."
