In addition to the first team’s trip to West Ham United, our Under-18s are coincidentally also away to the Hammers on Saturday (kick-off 11am UK).
With domestic action returning after the international break, Joe Staunton’s side head to Little Heath looking to bounce back from a narrow home defeat to a tough Crystal Palace outfit a fortnight ago.
That was our Under-18s’ first defeat of the campaign, although a handful of players have since enjoyed success at international level.
Full-back Oscar Sandiford – a regular for our Under-18s so far this term despite still being an Under-16s player – made his international debut for England Under-17s last week with striker Oliver Boast also in action for the Young Lions.
Oliver Salter, meanwhile, scored twice for Wales Under-17s in the first of two friendly matches in Estonia.
Malachi Hardy, Jun’ai Byfield, Luca Williams-Barnett and Tynan Thompson – the latter making his international debut – also shone for England Under-18s in Spain, although those players have been with our Under-21s so far this season.
Interim Coach Joe will be looking for a good performance against the Hammers, with places potentially up for grabs in our Under-19 UEFA Youth League opener at home to Villarreal on Tuesday.
Dominic Solanke remains sidelined for our Premier League clash at West Ham on Saturday (5.30pm UK).
The striker missed our last match against AFC Bournemouth on 30 August with an ankle injury. "Dominic won't be available still, but he won't be long," reported Thomas Frank at Friday's pre-match press conference.
"Right now, we're doing everything we can, the medical team is doing everything they can to get on top of it, and that's what we're focusing on. I get the feeling he's not too far away, but he's just falling away this week."
Otherwise, Thomas said 'everyone is fine' in terms of our players returning from across the world on international duty this week.
Long-term injuries Radu Dragusin, Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison remain out.
Welcome back to '60 seconds on...' a new match preview where we'll tap into the knowledge of the people who know our opponents inside out.
Next up, the short trip to the London Stadium to take on West Ham as the Premier League returns after the international break - and that meant a quick call to Roshane Thomas - @RoshaneSport - West Ham correspondent at The Athletic...
What have you made of West Ham's season so far?
Roshane: "It's just about what we expected. It was always going to be a tough start, given the fixtures, plus the likes of Cresswell, Antonio, Ings all leaving, that's a strong leadership group, so it's almost a transitional season. What made the reaction worse was the opening day loss at Sunderland, particularly the manner of the goals conceded. Fans were thinking, 'here we go again'. The first two games, poor defending... but then Forest was a morale-boosting win."
Any of the new signings particularly caught your eye?
Roshane: "I like (El Hadji Malick) Diouf, the left-back. His best skill set is his crossing and I can definitely see him getting the best out of the attacking players like Callum Wilson, Jarod Bowen and Niclas Fullkrug - his cross led to Wilson's header against Forest. I can see him becoming a £50m player next summer. His trajection is high, 20 years old, he's caught my eye, for sure."
Anything different tactically this season?
Roshane: "In the first three matches against Sunderland, Chelsea and Wolves (Carabao Cup) it was the same wing-back system, but Graham Potter switched to a back four, 4-2-3-1, at Forest and a lot of fans felt the team looked so much better, settled, more organised. Crysencio Summerville came off the bench and looked good on the left, opposed to playing central in the wing-back system."
How big was the win at Forest last time out?
Roshane: "A lot of people believe it could be a turning point. It was a massive win, but even more pleasing was the manner of the performance, solid defensively, good going forward and that fact Graham Potter could bring on the likes of Wilson and Summerville and both had an impact... it's brought back a feel-good factor."
Notice you were in the away end at the City Ground - what's the mood at the moment?
Roshane: "Beforehand, a lot of fans were thinking, 'what loss will this be today?' to the team showing everyone what they can do. Lucas Paqueta was outstanding, after a lot of talk about him leaving the club, showed so much commitment. That was another factor behind the fans being so happy. I overheard one fan say, 'yeah, but we'll mess it up again against Spurs in two weeks', but hopefully West Ham will show that result wasn't a fluke."
Who would be your 'one to watch' on Saturday (apart from Mo Kudus!)?
Roshane: "Yeah, Mo will definitely be watched! That will be interesting. Under the radar - Konstantinos Mavropanos, at the back. He's looked very steady, especially at Forest and with Nayef Aguerd leaving (end of loan), it's a chance for him to win over the fans, and that would be a great story. For Spurs, Djed Spence has impressed me so much."
West Ham vs Spurs - just what is it about this game?
Roshane: "I see it as two brothers who just don't get on. They get invited around for family meals, they get told they have to sit together and they refuse. There's the antagonism, the rivarly, the atmosphere - those are the ingredients that make this match so exciting. It's always one to look out for."
Finally, how do you think it might play out?
Roshane: "My only worry is that after Forest, everyone's on a high, but then that all calms down in the international break. It's a case of what West Ham team turns up. If it's the team that played at Forest, then we're in for a great game, and West Ham will fancy their chances. If it's the team that showed up at Sunderland, then Spurs could run away with it. That's the key for me. I reckon it could be a draw."

Live coverage: West Ham vs Spurs | Premier League | September 2025 Tottenham Hotspur
Our Academy will feature in the third series of ‘The Football Academy’, which returns Monday 15 September on CBBC and BBC iPlayer.
The series highlights the journeys of players across our boys’ and girls’ Academy teams, as well as the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation’s Cerebral Palsy football team, following the stories of some of our most talented young players and their goals to become a professional footballer.
The 15-episode series is narrated by lifelong Spurs fan Mathew Horne and produced by ZigZag. It also includes appearances from Club legends Ledley King, Michael Dawson, Sandro and Jenna Schillaci, as well as first-team players Dominic Solanke, Destiny Udogie, Martha Thomas, Kit Graham and Lenna-Gunning Williams.
To celebrate the launch of the series, the Club hosted an exclusive premiere event on Wednesday evening at our Stadium featuring representatives from the show and their families. Several young stars of the show joined Ben Haines on stage to discuss their reflections of working on the series, whilst Lenna and Ledley also spoke on what it takes to become a professional player based on their own experiences coming through our Academy.
Simon Davies, Academy Director at Tottenham Hotspur, said: “We are incredibly proud to see the stories of our young players recognised as part of ‘The Football Academy’ series. The series showcases not only the talent that exists within our Academy but also speaks to the values we instil at the Club for our young players, as well as the sheer amount of hard work and dedication it takes from players and their families in the journey towards professional football. We hope everyone enjoys watching the series as much as our players enjoyed taking part in it.”
Sarah Muller, Senior Head of Commissioning 7+ for BBC Children’s and Education said: “The Football Academy continues to showcase incredible talent, determination and diversity of the young players on the path to footballing excellence. Series 3 brings fresh faces and brand new stories, capturing everything from epic matches and personal challenges to inspiring friendships and unforgettable moments. It’s a celebration of youth football and the power it has to shape lives.”
Mathew Horne said: “I’m thrilled to be narrating this brilliant series. It’s a joy to see the stars of tomorrow in action. What a privilege!”
Danny Fenton, CEO of Zig Zag said: “Zig Zag is very excited to deliver Season 3 of The Football Academy at Tottenham Hotspur. The players and infrastructure at The Spurs Academy are second to none and we were lucky enough to be there to document their stories. Personally, as a lifelong Spurs fan it was somewhat of a labour of love but also something to be proud of both personally and professionally “
The Football Academy Season 3 airs weekdays at 5.35pm on CBBC from Monday 15 September. All 15 episodes will be available to stream on BBC iPlayer from the same date.
Our first away trip of the Barclays Women’s Super League campaign sees us travel to Everton on Sunday afternoon (2.30pm UK).
With our first-ever meeting at Goodison Park on the horizon, we spoke to Beth Lindop, Journalist for ESPN, to give us the lowdown on the Toffees…
How would you describe Everton’s terrific start to the season?
Beth: “It’s been a really positive summer for Everton. The club have recruited really well and they carried that positive momentum into the Merseyside derby last weekend. It was statement win at Anfield, and they really grew into the game. Brian Sorensen will be hoping that, as he continues to work with them more, his team will get better and better.”
How about that introduction to England from Ornella Vignola?
Beth: “It was a truly outstanding debut as Vignola became the first Everton player - male or female - to score a hat trick against Liverpool since the legendary Dixie Dean. Of course, to succeed in the WSL, you need to be consistent and that will be the biggest challenge for the 20-year-old going forward.”
Any other key players to look out for?
Beth: “Defender Martina Fernandez enjoyed an excellent loan spell on Merseyside last season and went on to be named Everton’s Young Player of the Season. She was excellent again against Liverpool, as was forward Katja Snoeijs.”
What will the impact of moving to Goodison Park have?
Beth: “It’s a huge move for Everton. Goodison Park is one of the most iconic stadiums in English football and so it’s a great opportunity for the Women’s team to start writing their own history there. Hopefully, it will encourage more people from Merseyside to get down and watch the team.”
How could Brian Sorensen set-up?
Beth: “Against Liverpool, Everton started the game in a 4-3-2-1, with Vignola as a lone striker up front. However, throughout the game that formation shifted - at times switching into a 4-2-2 - and that tactical flexibility is something Sorensen really values in his players.”
What could we expect on Sunday?
Beth: “I think it should be a really good game as both of these teams like to get their foot on the ball and play through the thirds. With it being the first game at Goodison Park, too, the atmosphere should be really exciting.”
We can confirm the dates, kick-off times and initial ticketing information for our Academy’s fixtures in this season’s UEFA Youth League.
Matches in the league phase of the Under-19 competition mirror those of the men’s first team in the UEFA Champions League – but only for the first six of the eight senior matchdays, as per the revised format of the tournament. That means our Under-19s will not face Borussia Dortmund at home or Eintracht Frankfurt away, with the league phase only set to run until December before the competition enters the knockout phase in the New Year.
As usual, fixtures will take place on the day of each senior matchday at the clubs’ respective nominated Academy stadia. The only exception will be our trip to Bodo/Glimt later this month, where the UEFA Youth League match will take place at their main Aspmyra Stadion on the morning of the first team’s UEFA Champions League fixture.
Our home games will take place at Hotspur Way and, as in previous seasons, will be all-ticket.
Under-21s Coach Wayne Burnett will lead our team in the competition.
We’re pleased to announce that our opening fixture at home to Villarreal next week will be available to watch live on SPURSPLAY. Broadcast information for our remaining fixtures will be confirmed in due course.
Our current fixture list can be found below, although all kick-off times remain subject to change, should matches be selected for television broadcast.
