Tottenham’s emotional and triumphant European campaign last season helped ease their domestic disappointments. As well as lifting the Europa League trophy, the North Londoners also pushed Paris Saint-Germain all the way during their UEFA Super Cup showdown. The Lilywhites are looking to maintain their European success under Thomas Frank’s guidance this season and have set their sights on Champions League glory.

DateFixtureVenueTicketsTue Jan 20 (8pm)Tottenham Hotspur vs Borussia Dortmund Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, LondonTickets

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London has been Tottenham's home ground since 2019. With a capacity of 62,850, it is the 3rd largest football stadium in England after Wembley and Old Trafford. It's a multi-purpose stadium, which features the world's first dividing, retractable football pitch, which reveals a synthetic turf field underneath for NFL London Games, concerts, and other events.

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is the first and only stadium to be designed specially for NFL games outside of North America. It's officially the home of the NFL in the UK, and the first game at the stadium took place in October 2019 when the Chicago Bears clashed with the Oakland Raiders.

How to buy Tottenham Hotspur vs Borussia Dortmund Champions League tickets

Aside from the UEFA Champions League final, you cannot buy tickets for Champions League matches directly through UEFA itself. Instead, they are sold club-by-club among the teams competing in this year's edition. To buy official Tottenham vs Dortmund tickets, you must visit Tottenham’s club site and secure your seat there.

Demand can often exceed the available allocation for these big European encounters, so fans can also purchase Champions League tickets on the secondary market. LiveFootballTickets is one of the leading retailers for those seeking to buy tickets through alternative channels.

What to expect from Tottenham Hotspur vs Borussia Dortmund?

With inconsistent performances in the Premier League and having exited both domestic cup competitions, Europe once again has become a shining beacon of hope for Tottenham’s players and fans alike. After pocketing 11 points from their opening six Champions League encounters, Spurs are in a prime position to qualify for the knockouts and could even secure a sacred top-8 slot if they produce the goods in their final two league phase encounters. The first of which is a home encounter against Borussia Dortmund on January 20.

Tottenham have a flawless record in Champions League games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season. They opened their campaign in September with a 1-0 victory against Villarreal and followed that up with 4-0 and 3-0 home wins over Copenhagen and Slavia Prague, respectively, in November and December. The Dortmund clash will be their hardest home test to date, though, and they will need plenty of vocal support to give them a boost.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Borussia Dortmund Champions League tickets: How much do they cost?

Tottenham announced that the Borussia Dortmund match would be a ‘Category B’ encounter, with adult tickets starting from around £49, and junior concessions (under-18s) from £24.50. There is also a range of premium hospitality options with prices starting from £399.00 per person.

Keep tabs on the clubs’ official ticket portal for additional information about availability and prices. Tickets on secondary resale sites, such as LiveFootballTickets, are currently available from £100 upwards.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Borussia Dortmund: Previous head-to-head matches

Dragusin shone at Genoa in Serie A prior to his move to Spurs, when he became the most expensive Romanian player in history following his £21.5million ($28.8m) transfer in January 2024. The defender was largely used as a back-up under previous boss Ange Postecoglou, though he got a regular run in the side amidst a defensive injury crisis last season. Spurs protected his own return to fitness, blocking Romania from calling him up to their national side in October.

Whether Dragusin is likely to be given more first-team opportunities across competitions under Frank remains to be seen, but it appears that a January loan move to Roma is off after the Italian club’s advances were rebuffed, as per Mail Sport.

Roma currently sit third in Serie A and looked to Dragusin to help maintain an unlikely title push, just three points off Inter Milan at the top having played two games more. Though it now appears that they may be forced to search elsewhere.

Dragusin had already said yes to the move as per Fabrizio Romano, who recently reported on his Italian YouTube channel, as relayed by GiveMeSport: “Roma continue to work on Radu Dragusin, because Roma have had concrete contacts with Tottenham. The relationship is very good.

“The player has already said yes to Roma. Dragusin is ready to go to Roma. I was telling you in December to keep an eye on Roma and Fiorentina.

"Roma have arrived. Roma have arrived strongly. Roma have arrived with direct contact with Tottenham, with an agreement already made with the player. Dragusin has let Tottenham know that he would welcome a move to Roma, the opportunity to return to Italy after a long time out due to injury.”

This month may prove an important one for Dragusin, who has spent a long time out with injury and will hope to return to playing regular football once again as he hopes to get his young career back on the right track. Still just 23, the Romania international has much room to develop his game but will be hoping to play regularly in order to achieve this.

Whether Spurs will sanction another move elsewhere, possibly on a permanent deal rather than a loan, remains to be seen. Otherwise, the defender will hope to impress new boss Frank so that he gets more opportunities to feature for a struggling Spurs defence who could do with the extra competition at present. Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero remain first choice but both players have previously been linked with moves away and may be tempted by the opportunity to challenge for the biggest prizes elsewhere.

Elsewhere at the club, Dragusin is not the only man hoping to depart this month as Mathys Tel is reportedly also exploring his options elsewhere, in a hope to make France’s World Cup squad for next summer. The 20-year-old has made just seven starts under Frank in all competitions this season, scoring three goals, and joined Spurs in a permanent £29.8m ($39.9m) last summer. He has also been linked with Roma recently.

Spurs were dumped out of the FA Cup 2-1 by Aston Villa on Saturday evening and the pressure on head coach Frank is set to increase further if improvements are not made on the pitch.

After starting Wednesday’s 3-2 Premier League defeat against Bournemouth on the bench, Richarlison was brought back into the starting lineup as Tottenham looked to secure a morale-boosting victory over high-flying Villa.

Having collected just one win from their last six games beforehand, Spurs head coach Thomas Frank was looking to ease the pressure on his position against Unai Emery’s Villains, who are currently third in the Premier League.

However, both Richarlison and Spurs’ night got off to the worst start when Argentina midfielder Emi Buendia fired Villa in front after just 22 minutes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

And their misery was compounded when former Everton and Watford forward Richarlison went down with what appeared to be a hamstring complaint just a few minutes later.

After receiving treatment from the Tottenham physios, the attacker was unable to continue and was subsequently replaced by Randal Kolo Muani, who was dropped to the bench after starting against Bournemouth.

Following Richarlison’s departure, Spurs soon found themselves two-nil down when in-form Villa star Morgan Rogers beat Guglielmo Vicario with a composed left-footed finish in the third minute of additional time at the end of the first half.

In an improved second-half display, Tottenham reduced the arrears when Wilson Odobert scored his second goal of the season after 54 minutes. However, as Frank’s men huffed and puffed for an equaliser, they thought they found it when Xavi Simons rounded Marco Bizot and steered the ball into an empty net, only for the effort to be ruled out for offside.

And Spurs were then consigned to their 11th defeat of the season as Villa saw out four minutes of stoppage time to record their 13th victory in their last 15 games in all competitions.

Speaking after scoring what proved to be the winner, England international Rogers told the BBC: “We were good the first half, second half they came out really well. We had to dig deep and I think we deserved the win in the end.

“I feel really good, I’m in a good bit of form, but so are the team as a collective. This was a big test and I think we overcame it really well.”

Tottenham will now be praying Richarlison is not on the sidelines for too long as manager Frank tries to combat the club’s mounting injury list. The Dane is currently without midfielders James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Rodrigo Bentancur, Lucas Bergvall and Mohamed Kudus.

Spurs were boosted by the return of striker Dominic Solanke, however, who was an 83rd-minute substitute against Villa following a lengthy layoff with an ankle injury. Destiny Udogie, who has also been battling a hamstring problem of late, was named on the bench against Villa.

In the build up to the Villa clash, Spurs boss Frank issued an update on Bergvall, Kudus and Kulusevski, saying: “Yeah, Lucas is being assessed today, we know more later today with him. Same with Rodri, Rodri's hamstring injury looks like a bigger one, unfortunately, we don't know the timeframe of that, we also will know later.

“Kudus is unfortunately a bigger one to the tendon in the quad, so that's one where we expect him back after the March international break.

“And then the latest on Dejan Kulusevski is that we know it's a complicated injury, if there's one person that can accelerate that, it is Dejan, he's a top pro and got a top mentality.

"The most important thing is to remove the pain in the knee. Got an injection to help that 10 days ago, we know in three to four weeks if it's settled, and when it's settled hopefully he'll be on the grass and from there we'll see what's happening.”

Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa renew their rivalry in the FA Cup third round as two Premier League sides come head to head at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa kick-off time

Today's game between Tottenham and Aston Villa will kick off at 12:45 pm ET and 5:45 pm GMT.

Match context

With much-needed silverware on the line and little margin for error, this tie promises intensity, tactical intrigue and plenty of fireworks. For Tottenham, the FA Cup represents a crucial opportunity to rescue a season that has struggled to gain traction, with poor results putting Thomas Frank’s Job at risk.

Their inconsistency in the Premier League has left Spurs languishing in mid-table, and with pressure building, progress in the cup could provide both momentum and belief. The Lilywhites come into this tie struggling for form, with only one win in their last six matches in all competitions, and their latest defeat coming against Bournemouth midweek.

Their Premier League form has been patchy, with draws and defeats punctuating recent results, and scoring has been inconsistent in all competitions. The FA Cup remains Tottenham’s best realistic route to a trophy this season, given their league struggles, and they’ll be eager to stay alive in the competition.

Aston Villa travel to London in far healthier form. Unai Emery’s side have been consistent, organised and dangerous in transition, combining disciplined defensive structure with sharp attacking play. Their confidence in big matches has grown, particularly away from home, where they have shown an ability to frustrate opponents before striking decisively.

The Villans have been scoring goals regularly and showing good recent results in all competitions. Their last Premier League game finished in a thrilling 4-3 win over Leeds United, where their comeback powers were strongly tested. Villa will also draw belief from recent FA Cup success against Spurs, having eliminated them last season. That result underlined Villa’s growing maturity under Emery and their comfort in high-pressure knockout ties.

Team news & squads

Frank has confirmed that Tottenham will be without winger Mohammed Kudus until after the March international break. Rodrigo Bentancur is also facing a significant spell on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring injury in the Bournemouth defeat. Lucas Bergvall will also be assessed after coming off against The Cherries with what appeared to be a muscle injury. The trio of Dominic Solanke, James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski remains sidelined.

Aston Villa, meanwhile, remain without the influential Amadou Onana, who has a hamstring injury. There are concerns over Emi Martinez after the goalkeeper withdrew at half-time of Wednesday's 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace. Tyrone Mings (hamstring) is edging towards a return, but is not expected to start in north London while Evann Guessand remains absent due to the Africa Cup of Nations.

Form

Head-to-Head Record

This is a regular FA Cup fixture with Villa and Spurs meeting a number of times over the years. Historically, Villa have had mixed success in FA Cup ties against Spurs, with Spurs often winning on the road, though the recent historical record is competitive. Last season, Villa beat Spurs 2–1 in an FA Cup tie at Villa Park, progressing to the fifth round — a result that piled pressure on Tottenham’s management at the time.

Standings

Goals are generally guaranteed in Bournemouth's games, while Tottenham are the Premier League's second-best away side this season.

Bournemouth vs Tottenham kick-off time

Today's game between Bournemouth and Tottenham will kick off on 7 Jan 2026 at 14:30 EST and 19:30 GMT.

Match context

The Cherries lost a five-goal thriller last time out at home against league leaders Arsenal. Their 20 league matches this season have now produced a total of 69 goals, making them the most entertaining side in the division on that metric. Ander Iraola's men, however, are winless in 11 EPL matches.

Tottenham will be glad to be back on the road after another disappointing home result, a 1-1 draw against Sunderland. The contrast in their home and away form couldn't be more stark, with Thomas Frank's men picking up 18 of their 27 points this season on their travels.

Bournemouth are unbeaten in the last three H2Hs (W2, D1), which includes this season’s reverse fixture in August. A win on Wednesday would complete a first-ever league double over Spurs.

Latest injury news from both camps

Cherries attacker Justin Kluivert faces a long spell out after knee surgery. Tyler Adams (knee), Ben Gannon-Doak (thigh), Ryan Christie (knee), Matai Akinmboni (muscle) and Will Dennis (ankle) are all out. Antoine Semenyo, reportedly on the brink of a move away, could make his final home appearance.

Exciting Ghanaian attacker Mohammed Kudus is one of six absentees for Spurs alongside AFCON duo Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr, Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison and Dominic Solanke. On the plus side for Thomas Frank, Destiny Udogie is nearing a return, and he'll have Xavi Simons back after a three-match suspension.

Tottenham Hotspur host Sunderland at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in what promises to be a tight and tactical Premier League clash. Spurs go into the fixture hoping to kick-start a better run of form after a patchy first half of the season, while Sunderland aim to build on their strong showing and eye a push toward the European spots.

Thomas Franks’ men’s campaign has so far been inconsistent, leaving them mid-table with mixed results. They have struggled to convert possession into goals and have endured fan frustration after underwhelming performances, including a recent goalless draw against Brentford, Frank’s former team.

It hasn't been helpful that Spurs have been without key attackers and playmakers such as James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, and Dominic Solanke, who have been sidelined. With only 26 points to show in 19 matches so far, the Lilywhites need to start getting more consistent if they intend to challenge for the European spots by the end of the season.

Meanwhile, their visitors, Sunderland, have emerged as the surprise package for this season, punching well above their weight and exceeding all expectations. The Black Cats are sitting comfortably in the upper mid-table thanks to a rock-solid defence — one of the best in the league — and a low-risk, organised style that frustrates opponents.

They most recently held Manchester City to a 0-0 draw, underlining their resilience, and will prove to be a tough nut for Spurs to crack. Their attack might not be the most prolific — especially on the road — but Sunderland’s structure and tactical discipline make them tough to break down, particularly away from home. Missing several players due to AFCON adds to their challenges, but head coach Régis Le Bris will set his side to compete fiercely.

Head-to-Head Record

Standings

Danish tactician Frank only crossed the English capital in the summer of 2025, when being lured away from Brentford by their Premier League rivals. He has taken in 28 games at the helm, with just 11 victories being picked up along the way.

Spurs have been held on eight occasions and are still scratching around for consistency and a clear plan when it comes to building for the short and long-term future. Loyal followers are not convinced by what they are seeing at present.

That was made abundantly clear when heading to the Gtech Community Stadium, as they watched 90 largely uneventful minutes play out in front of them. Neither side looked like scoring in a game that was seemingly destined to finish 0-0.

Videos were captured on the night of Tottenham fans singing “we want our money back”, with little value being found on the cost of tickets. Songs were also sung throughout regarding former managers and players - with that set list including Dele Alli, Martin Jol, Ledley King, Mousa Dembele and Eric Dier.

Frank is yet to win the locals over at Tottenham, with boos ringing out from the away end when the final whistle blew at Brentford. The jeers continued when members of playing and coaching staff made their way towards the travelling supporters before heading back to the dressing room.

Frank was quizzed afterwards on the taunts. He said when asked if he was aware of the growing sense of unrest in the stands: “Yeah, I think they seemed like they were not too satisfied and it's fair when we don't hit that top performance overall, but I think it's double-sided because I think what we need to understand is the acknowledgement of the defensive side of the game, which we've done excellent today against a team that just scored three against Liverpool, three against Man United, so on and so on. But of course the offensive part needs to be better. There's no two ways about that.”

He added on the need to get everybody on side, with a more expansive brand of football being demanded: “Yeah of course, you'd prefer everyone is happy and we're winning 3-0. I think the understanding of where we are right now, as a team, and as a club. That's the transparent view of it. I think we have to play with Archie [Gray] as a 10 - or I decided to do that - we did a little bit different at the end of the game. That's just step by step, we do those things. I'm very confident we will make it fluent and better and scoring enough goals. But with the amount of games and limited training times and the right offensive players available, that's part of it, it's no problem.”

Frank has urged Spurs fans to trust the process, with only two defeats being suffered through their last seven games in all competitions. He added, with a draw at Brentford coming on the back of a hard-fought 1-0 win away at Crystal Palace: “I agree. I think... this league is so tight. Just look at the results today and two days ago. So tight, so even. Small margins that change games. So I think we put a lot of foundation work into those two performances and competitiveness you need to have in the team. Then we need to add the next layers. It's not that we're not working on it. It is what it is. I know we'll get to where we want to go. Maybe not exactly where everyone wanted to be right now. But we'll get there.”

Tottenham sit 12th in the Premier League table through 19 fixtures, but are only four points adrift of the top five. They will be back in action on Sunday when returning to home soil for a date with Sunderland.

With several teams looking into the signing of Johnson, BBC Sport reported on Thursday that the Wales international decided to join Palace after holding talks with head coach Glasner, as well as other members of the club's hierarchy. As first reported by Fabrizio Romano, Johnson is now undergoing a medical.

Glasner's own contract at Selhurst Park expires at the end of the season and it has been claimed he may leave the club in the summer. The Austrian, the first manager in Palace's history to lead them into European competition, has been linked with Chelsea following Enzo Maresca's sacking on New Year's Day.

Johnson joined Tottenham on deadline day of the summer 2023 transfer window for £50m ($67m) from boyhood club Nottingham Forest. He was a favourite under then-Spurs head coach Ange Postecoglou, scoring five goals and laying on 11 assists in 34 appearances during his first season.

Tottenham began 2024-25 slowly and Johnson was targeted with abuse on social media, but he completed a remarkable redemption arc. The forward registered 18 goals and seven assists across all competitions, none more important than the winner against Manchester United in last May's Europa League final.

Thomas Frank, who tried to sign Johnson when head coach of Brentford, succeeded Postecoglou at Spurs for the 2025-26 season, but the 24-year-old has dropped down the pecking order. He has started only six Premier League matches this term and hasn't scored in the league since August.

Despite reports of Johnson nearing an exit, Frank has repeatedly downplayed the prospect of selling Johnson. At a press conference on Tuesday, Frank said: "There's rumours out there, in general I'll not comment on that, no matter if we want to sign or sell a player, or get a staff member in or out. I've no interest in commenting either way.

"As I said, Brennan is a very important player for us. Sometimes things change if another player comes in. Unfortunately, [Mohammed] Kudus came in for him and played on the right side and has done well. So it's been a little bit more tricky to get enough starts. He started the season also quite well from the left.

"I think Brennan has a lot of attributes. Very good running in behind, very good scoring goals. That's a good quality. So some of those key things is fantastic. Also working hard for the team, but you need more than just 11 players. That's the way it is. I think Brennan has been a top professional, is a top professional, trained well today. He's ready for two days' time."

Johnson will live long in the memory of all Spurs fans who watched the club end a 17-year trophy drought in Bilbao last season, as the Welshman tapped in their winning goal to secure Europa League glory. He became a key player under Ange Postecoglou, and has said that he "wouldn't change anything" from a season that also saw the club finish 17th.

He told The Athletic in August: “Last season was like a rollercoaster. There were so many different emotions. It taught me so much about football. Not just on the pitch but off it. How you spend your spare time and who you spend it with, how you get on with your team, speaking to people. It takes a while to find a balance.

“I wouldn’t have last season any different than it was. I learned and improved a lot. Won as a team, lost a lot of games as well. I don’t think this season will be like last season with the ups and downs. It was an important season for my development.”

On their celebrations, he added: “It’s an amazing memory. It opened my eyes to how big the club is. We experience the sold-out stadium every week, but then when you do these parades and you keep going further away, no one is going anywhere. You get more and more people. The energy was so high. It was a special day.”

Palace face Newcastle this weekend, with the club currently sitting 11th in the Premier League table, one point ahead of Spurs. Johnson will hope to formalise his future soon, as he bids to make a fresh start away from the club.

He had talked about trying to grow as a player, and will hope to continue his development under Oliver Glasner.

He said: “On the ball, I want to be better in one-v-one dribbling situations. I look back at last season and I was always trying to improve on it, and I think I did towards the end. Directness. More of a forward-thinking mentality from me and scoring goals. I scored a lot off one touch. I’m trying to improve my left foot and (shooting) off the dribble. It’s about trying to get an overall better game.”

According to BBC Sport, Johnson, who ended Spurs' two-decade-long trophy drought last season with his strike in the Europa League final, is set to leave the club in the January transfer window. Tottenham have agreed to sell the player to Crystal Palace for a reported transfer fee of £35 million ($47m/€40m). The decision is now up to the 24-year-old whether he wants to make the switch across London. Spurs are looking to add another forward to their ranks in January, which would push Johnson even further down the pecking order under Frank.

The Guardian reported on Monday that Bournemouth are also keen on signing Johnson, as they see him as a potential replacement for Antoine Semenyo, who is on his way to join Manchester City.

According to the BBC's reporting, Spurs are plotting an ambitious move to sign 19-year-old RB Leipzig winger Diomande to further bolster their attack in the upcoming window.

However, as reported by The Athletic's Seb Stafford-Bloor, it is unlikely that the Bundesliga giants will agree to part ways with their star player midway through the season. The German club might consider opening transfer talks in the next summer transfer window, although they are likely to demand a whopping €100m (£86m/$117m) for the wonderkid. Spurs and Leipzig are also reported to be on good terms following previous negotiations for Timo Werner and Xavi Simons.

Diomande arrived at RB Leipzig in July this year from Leganes and witnessed a rapid ascent that has justified Leipzig's significant initial investment and their subsequent bold valuation. Described as a "street footballer" who excels in one-on-one situations, the right-footed winger has electrified audiences with his direct running, dribbling ability, and powerful shot. After impressing throughout pre-season, he has seamlessly transitioned into the Bundesliga.

Heading into the German winter break, Diomande has recorded seven goals and four assists in 16 games across all competitions for Leipzig.

Frank has found himself under immense pressure in his first season at Spurs, with the club currently on a worrying run of form which has conjured just two top-flight victories in their last nine fixtures.

The former Brentford boss, who had earned goodwill while managing the Bees, has suddenly come under immense scrutiny and has even been told to resign from his role by former Spurs star Ramon Vega. After the club's narrow win over Palace last weekend, Vega wrote on social media: "Frank, stop talking about last season. They finished 17th. You now have more fit players than Ange had last season, yet you’re still not better off. In fact, it’s a shambles. At least Ange with no support made a miserable season into a wonderful ending for the fans by winning the European Cup and qualifying for the CL. You are now enjoying. So please do us a favour and resign, mate!"
