Jonas Eidevall is eyeing a new record on another groundbreaking day for the women’s game.
Arsenal are hosting Chelsea at Emirates Stadium in a top-of-the-table clash in the Women's Super League on the same day that the men’s team are playing at Tottenham in the North London Derby. Ticket sales are already heading to the 45,000 mark for the WSL game which kicks off at noon, but could top 50,000 and beat the previous attendance record of 47,367.
It is yet more proof of the legacy of last summer’s Euros finals and testament to Arsenal being one of the clubs determined to hold their WSL games at their main stadium whenever possible.
