FULL TIME: Tottenham 0-0 Arsenal
95' Arsenal have a free kick by the sideline, this feels like the last roll of the dice
94' The ball is with DvD who needs to pass it out quickly if Arsenal want something from this game. Only a minute remaining
93' A shot for Spurs! The ball is sent over the bar out for an Arsenal free kick
91' Arsenal have five minutes to try and get something out of this game. They won't be happy with a 0-0 North London derby!
90' Five minutes of additional time added
88' Russo goes down but stands up sheepishly and play is able to continue
87' Chloe Kelly replaces Caitlin Foord. Foord had a good game all round, in my opinion one of Arsenal's better players
85' Hinds's corner is a bit loopy and no one can get any direction on their headers in the box. The ball is cleared but Arsenal are in possession again and playing out from the back
84' Arsenal have another corner
81' Mariona blasts the ball high and wide after recieving it from KCC's corner. Another missed chance for the Gunners
79' Arsenal have a corner. Can they finally create something here?
77' Maanum goes down in the box, tripping over a Tottenham defender who was down. The Gooners shout for a penalty but there wasn't enough in it. "You don't know what you're doing" is shouted at the referee.
Taylor Hinds has also been great since her introduction, I really enjoy watching the injection of pace she offers, it is sometimes similar to Fox's style on the other side.
73' Olivia Holdt has a shot and falls over, but Van Domselaar's dive saves it. Beth England is sniffing around the number nine area putting pressure on Dvd and LWM
72' Tottenham corner after a dual between Hinds and England results in Hinds putting the ball out
70' It is still goalless here. You can feel Arsenal are building momentum, Maanum has just had two chances blocked in the box. However they've not been clinical enough and Tottenham have defended well.
69' Smith breaks away down the right, beating her defender. The young Canadian has shone since coming on, offering a lot of pace. Arsenal couldn't create down the right hand side in the first half but are now able to without issue.
68' Russo has a weird chance, where she kicks it over her shoulder without looking. Kop runs and claims it.
65' A brilliant ball across the pitch from Steph Catley who finds Olivia Smith. Smith drives forward and puts a cross in but Arsenal find no joy. 0-0
*Tandberg
64' Beth England comes on for Spurs to replace Katinka Sandberg
63' Lize Kop is down and having treatment on the pitch. A chance for some water and a regroup for both teams. Arsenal need to harness the momentum they're building here
Olivia Smith has had an instant impact in this game, making herself a real nuisance for Tottenham
61' Olivia Smith's shot is denied by Lize Kop
61' Mariona looks to have lots of space in her run up to goal, but ecides to pass out to Emily Fox instead
Russo is in the nine, Maanum is playing in the ten. This is a full change for Arsenal's frontline after the break with both wings being swapped at half time as well.
58' Maanum is quite rightly wearing her famous black gloves, it is certainly cold here at Brisbane Road!
57' Frida Maanum is coming on to replace Blackstenius. Hoping to see Russo move up into the nine and Maanum create some magic behind her!
54' It is still 0-0 here at Brisbane Road, Arsenal are building their pressure now. The ball is with Van Domselaar and they're playing from the back
52' There's a foul in the box and Lize Kop has a goalkick. Not an easy place to plat in front of the North Stand packed full of passionate Gooners
52' Arsenal have a corner, Taylor Hinds is standing over it with KCC ready in case it goes short
50' Blackstenius has a shot, but sends it over the bar, a lively reaction from the Arsenal fans who are happy to have the team shooting their way for this half
49' The corner is taken but there's a foul in the box and Arsenal are given the goalkick
49' Tottenham corner
47' Olivia Smith has also replaced Beth Mead, although the stadium announcer didn't include that in his update!
47' A bit of a tussle between international teammates Clare Hunt and Caitlin Foord results in a goal kick for DvD
46' Second half is underway
Katie McCabe has made way for Taylor Hinds
The teams are back out on the pitch ready for the second half here at Brisbane Road. Live updates of the rest of this derby to come.
This has all the feel of a game that could be decided by just one goal, neither side have created any huge chances, the goalkeepers have only had easy saves. Taylor Hinds and Olivia Smith are warming up on the pitch during half time.
The stats, as provided by Sky say that Arsenal have had less of the possession, but only just. It's Tottenham with 52.9% and Arsenal with 47.10%. Arsenal have had four more shots than the home side however with 6 in total and 50% of those on target.
A mixed first half in this derby, Arsenal started the slower of the two sides, but managed to pick up the pace as the game progressed. Lots more success down the left wing through Foord and McCabe than on the right. Blackstenius has been lively up top, often crowded by three defenders when she's in a position to shoot however. Fellow striker Russo is playing in the 10 and has had less action. Goalless at the break.
HALF TIME: Tottenham 0-0 Arsenal
49' The Tottenham players' wall proved effective as Mead delivered a disappointing low free kick straight into the defence's legs
48' Blackstenius is brought down at the edge of the box, Arsenal have a very well positioned free kick
48' Back to van Domselar who switches play back to Arsenal's favoured left hand side
47' Arsenal are passing round the penalty area, but the Tottenham defence are flooding the box and making it hard for Arsenal to create any chances.
45' Four additional minutes at the end of the first half here
45' Still 0-0 here at the end of the first half, just waiting for injury time
43' Some good link up play between Blackstenius and Foord on the left wing, hardly anything has gone down the right side for Arsenal
41' McCabe receives a yellow card for stopping the run of Holdt
40' Caitlin Foord has been great on the left wing so far, lots of balls into the box and lots of fight in her duals with Koga
40' KCC tries to thread a pass through to Blackstenius who has her back turned and misses it
39' Blackstenius shoots from a tight angle and it's saved by Kop. The Swede has been lively in the number 9 role so far today.
37' Tottenham's patient playing out from the back results in a good attack, but it's dealt with by the Arsenal defence and they're now passing around the centre circle
The Tottenham fans are booing Katie McCabe every time she has the ball now, I can only imagine that will Spur(s) her on more!
34' Arsenal seem to have woken up a bit here, they are quicker coming forward and have more energy
33' Arsenal have a free kick in the same place as their last one. KCC delivers it in and it's headed around the box. Eventually, Blackstenius has a shot which is saved by Kop
32' McCabe boots a loose ball off the pitch in anger after a fan kicked it on there, she is looking angry as she has a discussion with the referee
32' Throw in for Neville by the corner flag after Blackstenius put the ball out of play
Steph Catley had collided heads with Australian teammate Clare Hunt, both have just been allowed back onto the pitch following some time on the floor
29' Catley is up and walking, waiting for the restart now
26' McCabe takes the corner but Steph Catley goes down shortly afterwards with a head injury
26' KCC's free kick ends up out for an Arsenal corner
25' Foord goes down just outside the box, Arsenal have a very well placed free kick
25' McCabe puts a fast ball across goal but doesn't find a teammate to finish it
23' Foord wins the ball from Koga at the edge of the area and puts a ball in for Mariona, who fails to find Russo. Some better forwards play from Arsenal now
22' Foord's ball in just misses Caldentey, but Kyra gets on the end of it and shoots. Her shot goes just wide and high, but nice to see an Arsenal player shooting from range as that's been rarer this season.
19' Tottenham have looked the more comfortable so far, more posession and tenacity. 0-0.
18' A chance for Tottenham. The ball is taken down the right wing and put across the front of goal, but no one is there to finish the shot.
15' Tottenham 0-0 Arsenal
14' Emily Fox strikes! She runs into the middle of the penalty area and takes a shot, but Kop gets her hands on it
12' "Champions of Europe you'll never sing that" is the chant of choice for the Gooners at the moment
11' Quite an end to end match up at the moment, Tottenham have had the only shot on target so far through that free kick, but otherwise quiet for both goalkeepers
Lize Kop is wearing a mask over her eyes and nose in the Tottenham goal
9' Tottenham throw in after Caitlin Foord saw the ball out of play
7' Free kick for Tottenham, straight into the hands of Daphne van Domselaar
Arsenal fans have packed out the whole North Stand, singing very loudly. Much louder than the Tottenham fans!
3' Caitlin Foord's baall into the box smacks McCabe in the face, the ball is turned over to Tottenham
1' Kick off
If you're watching on TV, do look out for me, I am in the South stand and right behind the corner flag!
It's a rather chilly Brisbane Road for today's North London Derby, a shame that the scheduling Gods didn't get together to make sure a key match like this would be at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium. Especially during the men's international break! However, here we are and the travelling Gooners are in great voice!
Renée Slegers has made one change to her side today, bringing in Kyra Cooney-Cross to replace Victoria Pelova
