Tottenham Hotspur

Supporters in the UK will be able to watch this game live on TNT Sports.

First up for us though is the challenge of Brighton & Hove Albion.

Friday night’s Premier League 2 trip to Blackburn Rovers (7pm UK) is first up, followed by a home Under-18 Premier League fixture against Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday morning (11.30am UK).

Friday’s visit to Lancashire represents the final league stage fixture of the campaign for Wayne Burnett’s side, who are already assured of at least eighth spot and a home tie in the end-of-season play-offs. A win by six goals or more against Blackburn, though, who are second from bottom, would move us above Liverpool into seventh.

As previously reported, the match will now take place at the Wham Stadium, home of Accrington Stanley.

Saturday morning sees Jamie Carr’s Under-18s face a tough challenge against a Brighton side that already owns two victories over us at youth team level this season – one in the league and one in the FA Youth Cup.

Since our last Under-18 Premier League outing, Chelsea have reclaimed top spot with back-to-back wins and are now five points ahead of us, although we now have a game in hand on them. Three points from Saturday’s clash with the Seagulls at Hotspur Way could therefore prove crucial in the title race.

Tune in to SPURSPLAY just ahead of kick-off on Friday night and Saturday morning to enjoy both games live.

Text commentary during both fixtures will also be available via our Match Centre here on the Spurs Official app and tottenhamhotspur.com as usual.

Rodrigo has been out of action since early January after he picked up a hamstring injury in a late defeat to AFC Bournemouth in the first week of 2026.

Meanwhile, James has been sidelined since pre-season after he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury as we warmed up for the 2025/26 campaign with a 1-1 Newcastle United in Seoul, Korea.

The presence of the duo back in training as they take the next steps in their recoveries will undoubtedly have been a boost to their team-mates as the rest of the squad continues to work towards the visit of Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.

Predict the score | Spurs vs Brighton & Hove Albion

It all kicks off on Friday (17 April) when our Academy graduate will compete for WU23 European Competition glory with England Under-23s after they reached the final on Monday with a 1-0 win over the Netherlands in the semi-final.

Lydia Bedford’s side will take on Sweden Under-23s – which will consist of Spurs duo Matilda Nilden and Hanna Wijk – in the competition’s second-ever final and Lenna feels the experience of competing in these types of games can only help with their development.

“It’s very important for us to experience playing in finals because it prepares us mentally to deal with the pressure when there’s a trophy on the line,” she said.

“Everyone knows the England senior squad have made it to three finals in the past three major international tournaments so, as part of being in the squad as the next generation of Lionesses, we want to keep that reputation.”

Our young forward has played a key role in England’s journey to the final so far, scoring her maiden goal against the Netherlands in the last international window to help her nation progress to the semi-finals and then assisting the winner to secure their spot in the showpiece event.

“I’m very pleased with my last two performances with the Under-23s,” added our number 18. “I’m still buzzing with my goal from last camp and also really happy to assist the winning goal in our semi-final win over the Netherlands earlier this week.

“I feel really confident and valued in this environment, and I’m hoping I can bring this good feeling back to Spurs for the final few games of the season.”

Following the opportunity to earn silverware on the international stage, the 21-year-old will then return to Hotspur Way to prepare for our final three games of the Women’s Super League campaign, beginning with Manchester United at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday 26 April (12noon UK) – tickets available to buy here.

Progressing through our Academy system, signing her professional contract with the Club to now a regular member of our senior squad, Lenna is looking forward to being back in N17 once again.

“I’m very excited to be back at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium,” she said. “Coming through the Academy, having the opportunity to play there is always rewarding and a special moment. It’s always a great occasion and hopefully we can put a show on for the fans there.

“We’ve been in a bit of a rough patch at the moment, but I believe as long as we play the way we want to, which we have shown we are more than capable of doing, then we can get some really positive performances and results in these last three games of the WSL campaign.”

Full information on what fans can expect is below – including details about our popular early bird drink offer and our latest collaboration with THFC Flags. We thank all of their volunteers for the time, effort and hard work they give to make these collaborations possible.

Here’s how you can get involved…

Wear something white

Building on the powerful visual effect created in previous games, supporter groups are encouraging all fans to wear something white to this game. Be sure to pick out your favourite home shirt from down the years to create a sea of Lilywhite throughout the stands!

Early bird drink offer – buy one, have one on us!

We’re delighted to confirm that our early bird drink offer will be available again on Saturday. The offer sees us provide a free drink with every drink bought within an hour of the stadium opening.

Beer, cider and soft drinks are all included, with fans able to purchase up to two paid drinks (4 in total) per transaction.

Flags for every fan

We are once again collaborating with THFC Flags to create an incredible visual display throughout the stadium. Every fan will find a flag on their seat when they enter the stadium bowl – we’re encouraging fans to wave these flags as we welcome Roberto and the team out of the tunnel, creating a powerful show of support for them in the build-up to kick-off. In addition, fans entering our South Stand will be greeted by large banners displayed in the concourse, with more banners and waver flags also on display throughout the stand itself.

THFC Flags is a fan-led organisation who have made the fantastic displays we’ve so often seen at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium possible. To learn more about their work and how you can support them, click here…

Activities will begin at 3.30pm and continue during the build-up to kick-off, with fans able to enjoy interviews with Club Legends, music from ‘The Voice of Spurs’ James Black, activations from Club Partners and more.

Be sure to arrive early to get involved, build atmosphere and get behind the team. Come on you Spurs!

Following huge success in W7F’s previous two editions – in Estoril, Portugal, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida – the event will be hosted for the first time in the capital at Brentford FC’s Gtech Community Stadium, taking place from 28-30 May, 2026.

Our Women’s Managing Director Andy Rogers said: "We're excited to take on a brand new challenge. The World Sevens is a fast-paced competition which can present us with new perspectives on the pitch, while also bringing the fans ever-closer to the action. As a Club that embraces flare, style and passion, we are delighted to be joining such a creative, fan-first competition this May."

We will be one of the eight teams from the Women’s Super League that will form the exciting new competition. The W7F event format comprises a small-sided 7-v-7 game on a reduced natural grass pitch, 30-minute matches, and rolling substitutions across a three-day tournament.

With a strong focus on a unique atmosphere and experience for supporters in the stands, all games will take place at Gtech Community Stadium, offering the opportunity to watch a number of games and clubs.

Next up, it's Brighton at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday (5.30pm UK) and a return to the man who knows the Seagulls inside-out - Andy Naylor - @AndyNaylorBHAFC - Brighton correspondent at The Athletic, who has been covering the team since the late 1980s...

First up, Brighton have won five out of six – has that form been as good as it looks?

Andy: “Well, the interesting aspect of the recent run is that they're not particularly playing any better at all, really, than in the previous spell when they had one win in 13 league games. The big difference is key moments in matches, and they've managed moments in matches better. That is what's made the difference. Also, little bits of luck that maybe weren't going for them before, have been during the recent spell. So, there's not been a dramatic change in the performance level. The performance level has been pretty consistent despite the ups and downs in results.”

Tactically, anything different from Fabian Hurzeler's regular 4-2-3-1?

Andy: “Hurzeler is pretty consistent with the formation. It doesn't often veer away from that 4-2-3-1. Within that, the full-backs tend to play high, and sometimes they'll overlap the wingers. Then, with the two midfielders, you've got a mixture there. He's got a range of options, really, in terms of which two midfielders he selects. But, yes, formation-wise, he very occasionally switches to three centre-backs, very occasionally for a game and maybe during a game. That's very unlikely to happen on Saturday because Lewis Dunk, the long-serving captain, completes a two-match ban. So, he loses a centre-back anyway.”

We last played at the Amex back in September – who has caught the eye of late?

Andy: “There are quite a few players I could mention. Diego Gomez, a versatile Paraguayan international, has become quite a key player, scoring goals from different positions. What has emerged recently, which is quite interesting, is a left-sided partnership between Ferdi Kadioglu, an adventurous Turkish international left-back, who's in a really good run of form, and Yankuba Minteh, playing on the left rather than the right. He's better known as a right winger, but he has played on the left during a period when Kaoru Mitoma has been injured, basically, and he’s recovering, getting back from injury, getting back to full speed. He’s come off the bench in recent matches. So, Minteh played on the left with Kadioglu, and that combination worked particularly well at Burnley on Saturday.”

Obviously, you know all about our new Head Coach Roberto De Zerbi’s time at Brighton – you watched it all play out – what was that spell like?

Andy: “A rollercoaster ride and great fun. The way Brighton played, the manner of some of their performances in terms of the build-up is nothing like any Brighton supporter has ever seen before, and of course that culminated in reaching Europe for the first time in the club's history. They then reached the last 16 of the Europa League, but fell away in the league, eventually finishing 11th. There were ups and downs, but certainly the lasting impression is, stylistically, Brighton supporters will never have seen anything like it before.”

Finally, how do you think it will play out on Saturday?

Andy: “Clearly, I think coming into the game, there's a stark difference in confidence levels between the teams. I watched Roberto's first game in charge at Sunderland and I thought Spu were better, in the first half especially, but the big worry would be - it seemed to me, anyway - a lack of creativity, especially if you compare that to Brighton, who certainly do create chances and will create chances on Saturday.”

Speaking to us as part of an exclusive interview which you can read in full in theOfficial Matchday Programme for this Saturday's clash with Brighton & Hove Albion - 5.30pm kick-off (UK) - 20-year-old Lucas was up front and honest about how he and his team-mates are looking at our current situation and spoke of their united determination to put things right.

Having missed much of 2026 through injury, the Swede returned to action last month, stepping off the bench to play his first minutes in the Premier League since January as we hosted Nottingham Forest at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before he made his first start in three months as we travelled to Sunderland on Sunday.

The youngster admits that period on the sidelines was a 'tough' one for him as he was unable to help his team-mates on the pitch. However, while he couldn't play his part on the field, he remained as-ever supportive off it, behind them every step of the way.

And the same can be said about our supporters who rallied so movingly ahead of our last home match when Nottingham Forest made the trip to N17. We didn't get the result on the day but the rousing actions of our fans clearly had an impact on the players.

Despite enduring a painful afternoon as Forest ran out 3-0 winners, Lucas has lauded the efforts of our fans with him blown away by the energy and devotion of supporters who packed out Tottenham High Road in their droves that day, especially considering the current situation.

The midfielder knows we will need to continue to see and hear that fervent passion and emotion from the fanbase over the next few weeks as we battle to turn our campaign around. But, with the team full of belief, the fans behind us and everyone ready to play their part, the Swede knows we can get the job done.

“It was a great feeling seeing everybody together (pre-Forest)," Lucas said. "Sadly, the game didn’t go our way, but just seeing the fans fully behind us was unbelievable.

“Keep doing that and keep going now until the end. It is such a great feeling seeing our fans still backing us like that and seeing that everybody's still going to the game even though we’ve had a poor season up to this point. We loved it a lot.

“We are going to keep going until the very end. Even though it has been a really tough season, there are still six games left, and we just need to go out there and give everything.

“There have also been lots of conversations with the players to get a better view of each other and how we can turn it around, because we are focused on the task ahead.

“I know we can win them, and I know we can turn this around. I also know our supporters will do everything to give us an extra edge, too. We are one, let’s fight together.”
