Tottenham manager Martin Ho says the club can look back at their progress this season with "a lot of pride".

Ho signed a new long-term contract last week as reward for his instant impact since joining from SK Brann in July.

Spurs currently sit fifth in the Women's Super League table and are preparing to meet Chelsea in Monday's FA Cup quarter-final (13:30 GMT).

They have already surpassed last season's WSL tally with three games remaining - a remarkable improvement after finishing second bottom in 2025.

"We have come a long way off the pitch and on it with the infrastructure and resources around the players, how efficient we've been as staff to try and apply the right processes and by creating a new identity," said Ho.

"We have put foundations in place that enable us to be successful moving forward and to evolve the squad, as we've done in both windows.

"We know if we want to be successful we need to do that again and we will do. But I'm really pleased with where we're at."

Tottenham have suffered three successive defeats for the first time this season but Ho backs them to bounce back against a Chelsea side wounded by their Champions League exit on Wednesday.

"We can't let two or three of these results cover up the work we've done so far in this short space of time. I think it's remarkable what we've done," added Ho.

"We can definitely build from this and it's a good platform. From where we finished last season, to now, there's been huge progress. We can look at it with a lot of pride.

"We've done well in the FA Cup. You have to play the top teams if you want to win the competition. We know this test against Chelsea will be tough.

"We need to go in with confidence and know we can compete."

Liverpool manager, Gareth Talylor is looking forward to the upcoming derby against Everton at Goodison Park this Saturday.

"The games this season have been entertaining. We've played them once in the WSL and once in the FA Cup. We had a good outcome in the FA Cup so of course, we are looking to try to do that again.

"We understand the challenge that's in front of us. We're in similar form to them and it's interesting what a few wins can do to push you up the league. It should be an entertaining game," Talylor said.

When asked about Liverpool's record against Everton, Taylor explained:

"People will always talk about previous form from years ago so until we put that right in the league, then it will still be that we have lost more. It happens.

"Everyone involved in those games wants the outcome to be that we're smiling. We failed to do that in the last [WSL] game. We know it will be tough but we have an opportunity."

Manchester United expect to have Hinata Miyazawa available for Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final first leg with Bayern Munich at Old Trafford.

The Japan midfielder started Saturday's Asian Cup final victory over Australia in Sydney.

United boss Marc Skinner had previously said the club would then attempt to get Miyazawa back to England in time for the Bayern game, as the Women's Super League look to reach the semi-finals of Europe's most prestigious club competition for the first time.

Club sources have confirmed Miyazawa will be back for the game and in contention to start.
