Tottenham Hotspur

Back in action for the first time since their 2026 World Cup campaign, Uruguay were under new stewardship with former Manchester United and Atletico Madrid striker Diego Forlan having taken the reins following Marcelo Bielsa's departure in the summer.

That new era dawned in Rifu, Japan, as Uruguay stepped out to face Japan in a friendly at the Miyagi Stadium but that first outing ended in disappointment as their hosts ran out 3-1 winners.

Rodrigo was named captain for the game - just the second time he has taken the armband for his nation in his career - and he played 79 minutes before being substituted. It was his 77th appearance for his country.

Ticket Information

Our allocation is 3,077, including 30 wheelchair and 30 ambulant tickets (all with a complimentary personal assistant ticket). If this fixture is oversubscribed, tickets will be allocated in line with the Club's Ticketing Points Scheme.

You will be awarded one Ticketing Point for attending this fixture. Ticketing Points will only be awarded once Chelsea confirms your ticket has been scanned at Stamford Bridge. We therefore ask that only supporters intending to attend submit an application.

For this fixture, tickets will be issued digitally. Successful applicants will receive an email during the week of the match containing a download link for their ticket, which can be added to an Apple, Google, or Samsung Wallet. A link will be sent directly to each successful Season Ticket Holder rather than the lead applicant.

Important Information

Please note that all supporters under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult over the age of 18. If a supporter under the age of 16 is successful in their application without an accompanying adult, their application will instead be made unsuccessful.

The majority of our allocation at Stamford Bridge is safe standing. We will email successful applicants once the deadline has passed with further instructions on how they can request a ticket in a suitable area should they not be able to stand throughout the match.

Unauthorised Use of Tickets

Supporters found to have passed on or sold a ticket for face value or below will receive a written warning and a 50 per cent reduction of Ticketing Points. Supporters found to have sold a ticket for above face value will receive an indefinite ban and loss of all Ticketing Points.

To tackle this misuse, the Club reserves the right to randomly select supporters to collect their away match tickets from the host venue on the day of a match. In such situations, the host venue will be instructed to only release individual tickets only to the named ticket holder as advised by Tottenham Hotspur.

We have teamed up with Fantasy Football Scout to help bring you hints, tips and advice during the 2026/27 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) season.

Scout will be using their expertise to provide advice and gameweek tips, which should prove useful in ensuring you win your mini-leagues.

Through the first five gameweeks of the season, our back line have been reliable assets for FPL managers, as Scout have detailed below.

Top three FPL points scorers

Jan Paul Van Hecke (£4.9m)

So far this season, JP has registered 24 points in FPL and has already shown he has excellent routes to consistent points. FPL managers like to invest in players who can return FPL points through several different metrics, and in JP's case we have already seen two clean sheets, a goal, two bonus points and defensive contribution points.

So far this season, the Dutch international has registered 43 defensive actions, which has resulted in him registering two extra defensive contribution points, which defenders can pick up after amassing 10 defensive actions (blocks, clearances, interceptions and tackles won) in a game.

Our number six did this against Everton (13) and he has been unlucky not to return more defensive points. Against both Brentford and Aston Villa, he registered nine, missing out on the extra points by just one action in both games.

In attack, JP has had five attempts on goal and of those, three have been classified as big chances. In addition, he has created five chances for his teammates, which only Savio (£6.5m) and Andy Robertson (£4.4m) can better.

Antonin Kinsky (£4.5m)

Goalkeeper Toni is our second-highest scorer in FPL through five games, registering 18 points in the opening portion of the season. Like JP, Toni has registered two clean sheets this season and has also picked up save points in three of our five matches.

Shot stoppers register a save point for every three saves that they make in a match, and against Brentford in Gameweek 1 the Czech goalkeeper made five saves. Those five stops against the Bees on opening day are his most in a match so far this season, missing out on a second point by just one save.

Of all Premier League goalkeepers, Toni is tied top for clearances, having made five in the opening matches. He is also one of only three goalkeepers in the game who have created an attacking chance for his teammates this season.

Andy Robertson (£4.4m)

Andy is our third highest-scoring player in FPL so far, just one point behind Toni with 17 points from the opening five matches.

The Scotland captain has registered a clean sheet and an assist this season, as well as two defensive contribution points, which came against Brentford in Gameweek 1.

Throughout the season, the left back has registered good underlying attacking numbers, and these have been steadily growing. In Gameweeks 4 and 5, he supplied his season-high tally of seven crosses, and in the last two matches has created six chances.

This season Andy’s eight chances created put him second across the team, and no player has created more big chances than his three. His 24 crosses is a team-leading tally, and he has been directly involved in 20 per cent of the chances that we have created when he has been on the pitch; only Savio can better that percentage with 33 per cent.

Best of the rest

The rest of our team have also been posting some good numbers in FPL. Rodrigo Bentancur (£5.5m) has registered a team-leading 60 defensive actions this season and has registered a team-leading four defensive contribution points, but he has just missed out on the points in a couple of other fixtures too.

Midfielders need 12 defensive actions to record the points, and in Gameweek 2 Rodrigo recorded 11, while he recorded 10 in Gameweek 4, meaning in those matches he just missed out on additional points. His consistency with defensive returns makes him a great budget-friendly midfield option for FPL managers.

Sandro Tonali (£5.3m) has returned 14 points this season, but our midfielder has been unlucky not to receive more. Sandro has had a team-leading eight attempts on goal this season and created four chances for his teammates. He has also recorded 42 defensive actions, registering two defensive contribution points.

The shot stopper, who joined us from SK Brann this summer, came into the starting line-up for our first game of our Players Cup league phase and went to preserve a clean sheet in the 90 minutes before saving a penalty in the shootout that followed, although the Hammers ultimately ran out 4-3 winners in that.

The Norway international has now been assigned Legacy Number 189.

An initiative launched to commemorate the contributions of every player to have ever represented us in a senior competitive fixture from the 2011/12 campaign, we now have 189 players honoured in our journey to WSL.

Check out the full list in the link below…

Beginning our campaign in the newly-rebranded Players Cup league phase at Brisbane Road, we couldn’t be separated in the normal 90 minutes of action despite a number of late opportunities from us – Shekiera Martinez hitting the post before Matilda Vinberg being denied by a last-ditch block by Laia Codina.

With the score level at full-time, both sides taking the usual point for the league phase, we went to a penalty shootout for an extra point, with the Hammers ultimately running out 4-3 winners – and Martin felt the lack of clinical edge in the final third in the 90 minutes cost us in the end.

“I thought in the first half, we had some spells and you could see maybe a little bit of disconnection and the rhythm wasn’t there for sustained periods of possession,” Martin told us, speaking to SPURSPLAY after the game.

“Our pressure, when we got it right, caused them some problems. We regained it high up the pitch and we had some moments where we got in good positions. We just lacked the cutting edge in front of goal, but also with the final positions when we’re crossing and delivering, we weren’t in there to win enough of the first contacts.

“We came out a lot better in the second half. We then made the changes to freshen it up to see if that could give us a lift, we pushed and had more possession in their half. We pushed them into the final third.

“We had some really good opportunities and got into good positions, we just didn’t finish the chances we had. We hit the post, and then the penalties are just a lottery.”

Selma Panengstuen was handed her debut for the Club and preserved a clean sheet in normal time, making a number of key saves to keep the Hammers at bay – and Martin was full of praise for her first minutes in Spurs colours.

“She did wonderfully well,” he added. “She was calm on the ball, played well with the ball when she was called upon, and she took some really good crosses to really take the pressure off.

Obviously, she made that save near the end with the deflection and then Alice [Sombath] deflects it onto the post and she gets it. She made the penalty save in the shootout. So, I thought she was wonderful today and, on her debut, she should be really pleased.”

West Ham had the better chances over the majority of the contest, Saki Kumagai denied by debutant Selma Panengstuen and Kelly Gago seeing an effort diverted onto the post by Alice Sombath, while Shekiera Martinez hit the post against her former side and Matilda Vinberg was denied by a last-ditch covering block from Laia Codina as we pushed hard for a winner in the closing stages.

But with the spoils shared, we went to penalties for an extra point in the new league stage, with the Hammers ultimately running out 4-3 winners.

Panengstuen had brilliantly denied Ebony Salmon to prevent her from winning it with West Ham’s fifth kick, but when Martinez subsequently blazed over, it was the visitors who were left celebrating.

With nine changes made from the weekend’s astonishing 7-0 win at Crystal Palace in the WSL, it was a relatively quiet first half. Matilda Nilden – on her first start in our colours along with Sombath and Martinez – looked bright on the left flank, but it was the Hammers with the first real chance as Kumagai’s left angled effort was parried away by Panengstuen. Nilden fired high and wide at the other end while West Ham captain Viviane Asseyi had the ball in the net just before the break, but was denied by the offside flag.

Salmon missed a big chance for the visitors 10 minutes after the restart, firing across goal and wide after finding herself clean through, while Signe Gaupset tested Constance Picaud-Iconnu moments after coming on as we introduced some fresh players in search of a breakthrough.

Another big chance arrived for West Ham on 77 minutes, Katie Zelem’s diagonal ball into the box spilled above her head by Panengstuen with Gago’s effort at the back stick diverted onto the post by Sombath. We had a couple of late near-misses, Martinez firing a superb volley against the near post after an excellent cross from Ella Morris, while Vinberg was blocked off by Codina with almost the last action of the game.

With the scores at 0-0 after 90 minutes and the sides sharing the spoils, we went to a shootout for an extra point. Caitlin Dijkstra missed our second spot-kick with Salmon seemingly set to win it for West Ham later on, only for Panengstuen to pull off a superb save down to her right. However, Martinez fired our next effort off-target, meaning the Hammers won 4-3.

Chelsea Legends versus Spurs Legends will take place on Saturday 27 March, 2027 – over the Easter weekend – as iconic former players from both clubs lace up their boots once more, at a venue which has seen some epic battles between the two teams down the years.

The match will raise funds for Chelsea Foundation and also provide support for Spurs in the Community, while giving fans a chance to see some of their favourites from yesteryear back in action.

Marc Leckie, Chief Executive of Spurs in the Community, said: “We’re delighted to be part of what promises to be a fantastic occasion at Stamford Bridge. Matches between Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea have produced so many memorable moments over the years, and it will be great to see some familiar faces come together again. We’re very grateful for the support the fixture will provide to our work and look forward to what should be a special day.”

Laura Cordingley, Chief Executive of Chelsea FC Foundation, said: “We are delighted to announce the next Legends match at Stamford Bridge, and I would like to thank the Club for its support in making this happen. This match against Tottenham Hotspur will reignite a legendary rivalry on the pitch, providing our supporters with the opportunity to see some of their heroes back at Stamford Bridge, whilst also raising vital funds for Chelsea Foundation’s life-changing impact off the pitch. We look forward to putting on an incredible event on Saturday 27 March.”

The last time our Legends took to the pitch at a Premier League ground was back in March, 2025, when a star-studded side notched up a 6-2 victory over AC Milan Glorie at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Details on our squad will be announced in due course.

The 18-year-old goalkeeper has progressed through the ranks in our Academy, having first joined us in the Under-8s, and is currently in his second season as a full-time player.

Part of our Under-17 Premier League Cup-winning squad in 2024/25, Blake impressed at Under-18 level last term and signed his first professional contract in October, 2025.

On the international stage, he has represented England at Under-16 level to date.

Congratulations, Blake!
