Tottenham Hotspur have just discovered their Premier League fixture list for the 2025/26 season.
The Premier League fixture generator has thrown up a tough run of games during the winter period for the Lilywhites, which are made even tougher by potential cup and European ties.
Daniel Levy just spoke about his ambition to be competing for the Premier League and Champions League titles, and now he must prove that he means business.
Tottenham’s potentially hectic winter schedule
Tottenham Hotspur and Thomas Frank are now facing a potentially hectic winter schedule in which they could play up to nine matches in 28 days, as Football.London has worked out.
Frank has a favourable start to the Premier League, but heading into the Christmas period and beyond, that is when things will really start to become testing.
Spurs are due to play some very tricky Premier League games in between possible additional European and cup matches.
Following the final round of Champions League group stage matches, the North London club hosts Manchester City, which could then follow a Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg.
Premier League matches away at Old Trafford and home to Newcastle are then followed by the FA Cup fifth round and a Champions League play-off tie, should they fail to make the top eight in the group stage.
The second North London derby of the season would be sandwiched in between the two Champions League play-off legs, highlighting the importance of making the top eight.
Thomas Frank needs a new centre-back, holding midfielder, winger and striker
Frank will likely need to be given at least four new signings to stand a chance of competing across all competitions, as Levy stated.
Speaking to Spurs Official, Levy revealed: “In our second season, we were over the moon to win the trophy. But we need to compete in all competitions and we felt that we needed a change.”
The Spurs chairman now needs to give his manager a squad which is actually suitable to be competing on multiple fronts.
Another top central defender is needed, with Cristian Romero missing 27 matches and Micky van de Ven sidelined for 32 games last term.
A replacement for Son Heung-min is required, along with backup options for Rodrigo Bentancur in midfield and Dominic Solanke up top.
