Manchester City FC

So, we’ve put together a little factfile on the upcoming clashes we hope to welcome you to…

SPURS

When do we play them?

On Sunday 22 November, we take on the London outfit at the Joie Stadium with kick-off scheduled for 12:00 (UK).

CITY V SPURS | GET YOUR TICKETS HERE!

When was our previous encounter?

Our most recent clash with Spurs was in March, in which we welcomed them to the Joie Stadium for another important game en route to lifting the WSL title.

And it was certainly a day to remember for Bunny Shaw who set the record for the quickest hat-trick in WSL history, with our number nine needing just 21 minutes to put us in a commanding lead.

City went on to win the game 5-2 with Kerolin and an Amanda Nilden own goal completing the scoring as goals for Olivia Holdt and Beth England proved to be just consolations.

What to expect from Spurs

Martin Ho is in his second season managing Tottenham and his team are once again an impressive outfit.

They commit bodies forward and have attacking threats all over the pitch, which has seen them tally a handful of different goalscorers in Holdt, Victoria Pelova, Nilden and Cathinka Tandberg to name a few.

Spurs are also a side who’ll fight until the end, scoring the most goals in the second half of WSL matches this season.

What it means

For a team looking to retain a title, every league fixture is important, but the placement of the Spurs fixture makes it a key marker in our campaign.

It will be our final game before an international break, and is the last of six matches across a busy November.

Three successive away trips to Inter, Chelsea and BK Hacken before it mean the players will need your support to help get us over the line.

AUSTRIA WIEN

When do we play them?

City welcome the Austrian Champions to the Joie Stadium on Wednesday 16 December, with kick-off set for 20:00 (UK) in what will be another exciting night of European action.

CITY V AUSTRIA WIEN | GET YOUR TICKETS HERE!

When was our previous encounter?

History will be made on the Wednesday evening when we face the Austrian side for the first time.

What to expect from Austria Wien

They are most certainly a side that cannot be overlooked, with Austria Wien unfortunate not to walk away with more than a point in their 1-1 draw with Inter Milan.

Indeed, they were pegged back in second half stoppage time against the Italians, having also been edged out by a single goal against Chelsea on their European debut.

Defensively, they are compact and organised which makes them a difficult opponent to penetrate.

They can be clinical at the other end though, having already scored 25 times in eight games this season.

What it means

With it being our final League Phase game, three points could be vital in our final standing in the table.

The top four teams of the 18 taking part in the League Phase will automatically qualify for the quarter-finals, with those ranking 5th-12th entering a two-legged play-off.

The bottom six teams are eliminated.

EVERTON

When do we play them?

Our clash with the Toffees will take place at 14:00 (UK) on Sunday 20 December, subject to change.

CITY V EVERTON | GET YOUR TICKETS HERE!

When was our previous encounter?

All three of our games against Everton last season were tight affairs. The most recent, at the Joie Stadium in January, saw City run out with a 2-0 win.

Goals from Kerolin and Vivianne Miedema either side of half-time sealed an 11th successive league victory.

What to expect from Everton

Scott Phelan is certainly enjoying his first stint as the Toffees Head Coach, with his team in fifth with nine points.

Defensively, Everton have been solid, with City loanee Naomi Layzell contributing to them conceding just four goals in five games.

They’ve scored as many and boast a 100% home record this season.

What it means

Our meeting with Everton will be our final game of what has already been an incredible 2026.

Jeglertz and the squad will fight relentlessly to earn a win to top off the calendar year with a bang before a well-deserved winter break.

UNITED

When do we play them?

We take on United at the Etihad Stadium on the weekend of Sunday 14 February, with the Manchester derby set to take place at 14:30 (UK).

CITY V UNITED | GET YOUR TICKETS HERE!

When was our previous encounter?

Our last Manchester derby was an incredible day out at Old Trafford in March which saw City run out with a 3-0 win.

It was our Dutch duo Vivianne Miedema and Kerstin Casparij on the scoresheet with the former bagging a brace in a clinical, composed and dominating performance by Jeglertz’s side.

We’d also previously beaten United by the same scoreline at the Etihad Stadium in November 2025!

What to expect from United

Under new leadership in Eva Olid, it took the Red Devils a little time to adjust, but they’ve since won each of their last two WSL matches heading into the international break.

Olid is looking to implement a possession-based style of play in which they build out from the back.

And after back-to-back defeats to start the campaign, seven points have followed in their last three WSL matches as they begin to find some rhythm.

How important is the clash?

Very! Alongside the opportunity to claim bragging rights against our cross-city rivals, every game in the latter stages of the season matter that little bit more.

Only seven WSL matches remain after our clash with United and, should we progress in Europe and the FA Cup, it’ll come in the midst of a busy fixture schedule which could define our season.

We host Spurs, Everton and Austria Wien at the Joie Stadium, with the Manchester derby taking place at the Etihad Stadium on the weekend of 13/14 February.

Early bird pricing is also available until Sunday 18 October for the WSL fixtures in the latest round of matches, with adult tickets priced at just £8 and Under-18s at £5 during this initial window, so make sure you take advantage soon!

Fixtures between Spurs and City have guaranteed goals in recent years, with 13 across our two matches last season.

The Blues welcome them to the Joie Stadium on Sunday 22 November, with attentions turning to Europe in our next home outing.

We’ve never faced Austria Wien before, but the UEFA Women’s Champions League newcomers were unfortunate not to get their first win in Europe’s elite competition last time out against Inter, conceding a stoppage time equaliser.

City’s final League Phase fixture - we host Austria Wien on Wednesday 16 December, with kick-off set for 20:00 (UK).

The teenage striker continued his fine start to the season by marking his maiden PL2 outing in impressive fashion, finding the target in both halves with only a goal line block denying him a hat-trick.

But in what proved a high-quality affair at Stevenage’s Sporta Arena, a brace from Callum Olusesi alongside efforts from Miracle Adewola and Luca Williams-Barnett ultimately proved decisive for the hosts.

What happened

With Tottenham seeking to go top of PL2 and City looking to return to winning ways it promised to be an action-packed affair and so it proved.

City keeper Max-Edgar Chabot did well to deny Miracle Adewole on 16 minutes after the Spurs man latched onto a dangerous cross on the right edge of the six-yard box.

It was City though who forced the breakthrough just shy of the half hour when Lamb marked his PL2 debut in style.

The striker latched onto a poor back pass before first rounding Spurs keeper Samual Archer and then coolly firing home.

Within 60 seconds however the hosts had drawn level.

Femi Fapetu was dispossessed on the periphery of the City box and the ball fell to the dangerous Luca Williams-Barnett who evaded Chabot and then found the empty net.

The hosts then upped the ante by scoring twice in two minutes just before the break.

First, they took the lead through Miracle Adewole. Tyrese Hall created the initial danger with a neat flick from the left side of the box. Ellis Lehane then made a vital touch, guiding the ball into the path of Adewole lurking on the edge of the box.

Though Chabot did get his hand to the shot, the Blues keeper couldn’t prevent the force of the effort edging the ball over the line.

Within 120 seconds Spurs had struck again, this time through Callum Olusesi.

The midfielder evaded a number of challenges as he slalomed through the City box before then beating Chabot at the near post with a fierce drive.

The City keeper performed wonders to deny Williams-Barnett from extending the lead with an instinctive 58th minute save before Lamb was then a whisker away at the opposite end.

City kept pressing and it required a fingertip save from Archer to prevent Dunbar-McDonald from narrowing the deficit just past the hour.

However, it was Spurs who did strike again on 67 minutes through Olusesi, the Spurs man drilling home in impressive fashion after a Leke Drake clearance fell invitingly for him.

City weren’t done though and danger man Lamb struck again on 73 minutes for his second of the afternoon, the striker making no mistake from close range after brilliant initial work from substitute Dante Headley on the left flank.

And only a goal line clearance from Spurs sub George Feeney prevented Lamb from sealing his hat-trick on 86 minutes in a breathless finish to the contest.

How we lined up

Max-Edgar Chabot started in goal and was shielded by a back four of Brooklyn Nfonkeu, Harrison Parker, Leke Drake and Matty Henderson-Hall. Kian Noble was the holding midfielder with Harrison Miles and Femi Fapetu also in the engine room.

Teddie Lamb was the attacking focal point with Christian Dunbar-McDonald and Xavier Parker providing support on either flank.

EDS XI: Chabot, Nfonkeu (Gorman 67), H Parker (Wain 45), Drake, Henderson-Hall, Noble, Miles, Fapetu (Headley 67), Dunbar-McDonald (Midwood 77), Lamb, X Parker

Subs: Courtman, Hudson, Tevenan

TOTTENHAM XI: Archer, Rowsell (c), King (Feeney 86), Hardy, Dorrington, Hall, Adewole, Oluessi (McFadden 77), Hall (Elliott-Parris 65), Williams-Barnett (Byrne 65), Lehane (Sowunmi 77)

What it means

The result leaves Oliver Reiss’s side in 21st position in the Premier League 2 table with three points from three games.

Spurs meanwhile have moved into top spot with 10 points from four games.

What’s next

With the international break now taking centre stage, the City youngsters will not be in action again until mid-October.

Our return to action is in the UEFA Youth League on Wednesday, October 14 when we play host to Paris Saint-Germain’s Under-19s. Kick-off at the Joie Stadium is set for 15.00 (UK)

Though striker Teddie Lamb marked his PL2 debut in style by claiming a brace of goals it was Spurs who took the points.

Lamb extended his fine start to the season by both opening and rounding off the scoring on an eventful afternoon at Stevenage’s Sporta Arena.

However, a brace from Spurs’ Callum Olusesi alongside efforts from Miracle Adewola and Luca Williams-Barnett ultimately proved decisive for the hosts who took top spot in the table as a result.

Oliver Reiss and our Elite Development Squad travel to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday 19 September, with kick-off set for 13:00 (UK).

It will be our first league outing in three weeks, with the team eager to return to winning ways in the competition following a 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest last month.

More recently, City lost 5-3 to League Two outfit Chesterfield in our EFL Trophy group game earlier in the week.

It has meant the team hasn’t had a lot of time to prepare for our trip to the capital, but the players will be ready to put on our best performance possible against a Spurs side who are yet to lose in the PL2 this term.

Who will will?

The Egyptian moved to the Etihad Stadium from Eintracht Frankfurt in January 2025 and has gone on to play 62 times for City, scoring 16 goals.

The 27-year-old played a key role in helping City secure Champions League qualification at the end of the 2024/25 campaign.

He opened his account for the club in memorable fashion with a hat-trick against Newcastle United in February 2025.

Further strikes followed against Brighton, Leicester and Crystal Palace before he netted our Goal of the Season in our penultimate game of the campaign, lashing home from 30 yards to open the scoring against Bournemouth.

A further 36 games and eight goals followed last term including braces in both the FA Cup and League Cup encounters with Newcastle.

The No.7 started May’s FA Cup final victory over Chelsea alongside Erling Haaland as we completed a domestic cup double.

After a second-half substitute appearance in this month’s Community Shield under new boss Enzo Maresca, Marmoush will now join former team-mate Savinho in north London.

Everyone at City would like to wish Omar good luck with his loan switch to Spurs.

The Brazilian winger leaves the Etihad Stadium after two seasons at City in which he played 84 times and scored seven goals.

After joining from CFG sister club Troyes following a sparkling loan spell with Girona, Savinho’s City debut came in the Community Shield penalty shootout victory over Manchester United in August 2024.

His first goal followed in the December win at Leicester City before further strikes against Club Brugge in the Champions League and Juventus in the FIFA Club World Cup.

The winger scored four goals in his next campaign, bagging the first in September 2025’s 2-0 Carabao Cup win at Huddersfield before the decisive second in a 2-0 home Premier League triumph over Brentford just before Christmas.

His delicate finish at Newcastle helped us progress in the FA Cup in March 2026 before hitting the third in a 3-0 Etihad success over Crystal Palace in May 2026.

“I’d like to thank everyone at Manchester City,” he said. “My teammates, the staff, the fans… all of them were brilliant with me. I am a better player and better person having spent time at City.

“As soon as I joined City, I knew what a top club it was. They provide players with so much to help them and make sure they improve. I will always be grateful to them for that.

“I enjoyed my time there immensely, especially winning the FA Cup and Carabao Cup last season - moments I will treasure.

“I learned a lot while at City and it was an honour to play with my brilliant teammates.

“I wish City the very best for the future.”

Director of Football Hugo Viana added: “Savinho has been a big part of our last two seasons, including the silverware we won last year.

“He arrived in Manchester as a 20-year-old with limited senior experience and leaves as an FA Cup and Carabao Cup winner with lots of Premier League and Champions League games under his belt.

“Everyone at City would like to place on record our thanks to Savinho for all his efforts during his time with us and we wish him the very best on his move to Spurs.”

Everyone at Manchester City would like to wish Savinho all the best for the rest of his career.

A Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw hat-trick - the quickest in Barclays Women’s Super League history - set the Blues on our way to an emphatic victory.

Kerolin added a fourth from Lauren Hemp’s cutback, with an Amanda Nilden own goal also following before the break.

The visitors had briefly levelled when Olivia Holdt fired past Khiara Keating soon after Shaw’s first, but a comprehensive first half display from City had the points all but sealed inside 45 minutes.

CITY 5-2 SPURS: MATCH REPORT

Spurs did grab another before the final whistle when Beth England fired home, but it did little to dampen an impressive afternoon from the Blues.

With Chelsea also being held at London City Lionesses, the win also meant we moved eight points clear at the top of the WSL, though that gap would be reduced to five if Arsenal won their two games in hand.

To cap off a special afternoon, the fixture also represented our City in the Community Matchday Takeover, with plenty of CITC-themed activities designed to celebrate our charity’s incredible work also on display.
