Drew Spence: “Any game in this league is difficult” | OneFootball

Drew Spence is only focused on the challenge at hand on Sunday (12pm UK) against Manchester United ahead of the final run-in for the Barclays Women’s Super League.

Our trip to Leigh Sports Village is the first of our last five fixtures in the league, which sees clashes against Brighton & Hove Albion and Chelsea at Brisbane Road with a trip to Everton in between that, before rounding off the season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to face West Ham United on Saturday 18 May – tickets still available to buy.

In the midst of all that, we will compete in our first-ever Adobe Women’s FA Cup Final next month and this weekend’s clash against United could be seen as a preview to the showpiece event at Wembley.

Drew, who has over 200 appearances in her extensive career to date, alongside winning the FA Cup four times, says her attention is to collect as many points as possible in the final stretch of the season.

“I mean, everyone is going to be talking about the game on Sunday as a dress rehearsal, or whatever they will call it, but any game in this league is difficult,” she said.

“The West Ham fixture is the last game of the season and a derby at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, so that will be a big one as well… but for where we are in the table, we just need to pick up as many points as possible.

“In the first part of the season, there were a few draws that we really should have won so, I think, we just have to try to pick up as many points as we can and, hopefully, have a higher position in the league than we did last year.

“It’s just the next game we have to focus on… you can’t really start thinking about the final until the week of the game because that’s how you get carried away and don’t stick in the momentum of where we are right now.”
