Tottenham Women vs. Reading: game time, lineups, and how to watch online

It’s been an absolutely killer stretch of matches to open to the 2020-21 WSL season for Tottenham Hotspur Women. Their opening five matches included games again Everton, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Arsenal, four of the best teams in the league this season. Predictably, it hasn’t gone well — Spurs have zero wins and just one point from their opening five league matches, and their only win in all competitions has come against a second division opponent.

Not great.

Today’s opponent, Reading, is another challenge, but perhaps an easier one. Reading have wins over newly promoted Aston Villa and West Ham and were expected to be in the chasing pack behind the Big Four along with Spurs this season. They’ve gotten off to a faster start than Spurs, but they’re a team that Tottenham should be able compete with. Tottenham also has Alex Morgan, though I’ve given up predicting when she might start. She will when she’s ready.

COYSW!

• Along those lines, outright abuse of players or match officials is also not allowed. It’s fine to say “wow, that was a really bad call,” but it’s NOT okay to direct copious amounts of abuse in the direction of said official over a call you did not like.
• Treat other people in the match thread the way you would want someone else to treat your grandmother. Be nice. This is a community of fans, not an un-moderated message board.
