Tottenham Hotspur

Cristian Romero and Xavi Simons will both miss Sunday's trip to Selhurst Park as they serve their respective suspensions.

Both Romero and Xavi were shown red cards last time out against Liverpool and now will be unavailable for selection when we visit Crystal Palace this weekend.

Captain Cuti will serve and complete a one-match suspension on Sunday after he was shown two yellow cards before being dismissed in the defeat at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Xavi, however, will begin a three-game suspension as he was sent off for what was deemed serious foul play in a coming together with Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk.

Romero will be eligible to return to action on New Year's Day when we head to Brentford in the league while Xavi will not be available until our trip to AFC Bournemouth on 7 January.

We make the journey to South London on Sunday to take on Crystal Palace, with kick-off at Selhurst Park set for 4.30pm.

Gates will be open from 2.30pm, with supporters reminded on the importance of an early arrival to allow suitable time for necessary security and ticketing checks.

Live Blog: Crystal Palace vs Spurs  Tottenham Hotspur

Despite ending the calendar year with a frustrating defeat at Manchester United in the Women’s League Cup quarter-final on Sunday, Clare Hunt reflected positively about the progress of the squad during the opening months of the campaign.

It was a strong first-half performance at Leigh Sports Village and we deservedly took the lead just after the quarter-of-an-hour mark when Drew Spence struck a fantastic volley to capitalise on the positive start.

While United once again produced another second-half comeback – Jess Park and Fridolina Rolfo securing the win for the home side – the Australia international was keen to focus on the performance in the first period and how there are plenty of positives to build on once we return in the new year.

“We did really, really well in the first half,” Clare told us, reflecting on the game. “We dominated large aspects of possession and got an early goal, which really helped us. Defensively, I thought we were very solid in that first half, so there are plenty of positives to take from it.

“The second half wasn’t as good as we would have liked. We got caught out in a few moments defensively and they capitalised on those opportunities. That’s frustrating, but there’s still plenty to work on as we move into the new year.”

Asked about what the targets are for the new year, she added: “Moving into the second half of the season, we know exactly what we need to work on. I think we’ve developed a lot over the last six months under Martin. Now it’s about continuing to move forward, realising our potential over the next six months, and hopefully progressing in the league to see where we end up by the end of the season.

“We just need to keep working on that and focus on finding ways to maintain wins in games. When we do have the lead, it’s about controlling possession and minimising chances defensively. It’s given us a lot to work on for the next six months but, overall, it’s been a really positive first six months under Martin.

“Everyone has put their head down and really put the work in. What we’ve developed so far has been great and there’s still plenty more to work on. There’s a lot of potential within this squad.”

Man Utd Women vs Spurs Women | Full Match | 2025/26  Tottenham Hotspur

The Barclays Women’s Super League broadcast selection for matchday 15 has been confirmed, with our home fixture at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium against Chelsea having its kick-off time changed for live television coverage.

The fixture will continue to take place on the day originally scheduled – Sunday 8 February – although it will now kick-off at a later time of 2.25pm UK.

It will be televised live on BBC Two.

This match is one of three upcoming games to be played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – alongside our fixtures with Everton (15 March) and Manchester United (26 April).

Yves Bissouma's Mali were left to rue missed opportunities as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Zambia in their Africa Cup of Nations group stage opener on Monday afternoon.

Facing their first outing of the competition in Group A without captain Yves, Mali should have taken the lead three minutes before half-time as they were awarded a penalty. However, El Bilal Toure was unable to find a way past goalkeeper Willard Mwanzza from 12 yards with the goalkeeper producing the save.

They did find their way through Mwanza just after the hour mark with Lassine Sinayoko giving Mali a deserved lead after they had largely controlled proceedings. However, as they looked to see out the game in its latter stages, all their hard work was undone two minutes into stoppage time as a stunning diving header from Leicester City forward Patson Daka saw a share of the spoils in Casablanca.

Next up for Yves' Mali is the test of hosts Morocco in Rabat on Boxing Day (Friday 26th December) - 8pm kick-off (UK).

We host Sunderland at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a 3pm kick-off on Sunday 4 January. We are giving fans advanced notice of travel disruption which will affect some journeys to N17 on matchday – please read our travel update ahead of planning your journey to the stadium.

Guglielmo Vicario feels we can take the positives from our battling performance against Liverpool into forthcoming London derbies against Palace and Brentford over the Christmas and New Year period.

Down to 10 men after 33 minutes, then 2-0 down after 66, Richarlison’s response with seven minutes left injected a belief throughout Tottenham Hotspur Stadium that we could turn the game around.

We then lost Cuti Romero to a second yellow card, but our nine men pushed for an equaliser, and it was Allison making saves in added time, not Vic – the Liverpool goalkeeper twice denying Pedro Porro.

“I think we have to be very proud of ourselves, especially the way we handled it in the second half,” reflected Vic. “We showed great character, great effort and mentality to get back into the game.

“The feeling I think from everyone in the stadium was that we could have easily overturned this result, so we have to take home some good notes in terms of mentality and character and all these kinds of things.

“So, a lot of positives from this game - disappointment, of course, to have lost a game of football, but I think with a little bit more luck in some situations, we could have been now speaking about a different game and different result.”

Now the players are preparing for a derby double-header on the road – Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday (4.30pm UK) followed by Thomas Frank’s return to Brentford on Ney Year’s Day (8pm UK).

Vic added: “Now, we're going to have a long week in which we can push, we can train hard to get ready for Palace. We need to take the positives into the next match. It's some fuel that has to feed us. This is the most important bit.

“So, I think in terms of mood, of course, we are disappointed because of the result, but we know that we deserved more because we showed on the pitch and it was there. I'm sure that the fans have felt this inside the stadium. So, a lot of good things. Now, a big week ahead before we go to Palace away and we're going to be ready. “
