Djed Spence has been named in the England squad once again as his country face two more FIFA World Cup qualifiers this November.

In for the third successive camp, Djed helped England secure their spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup last month as he played the full 90 minutes in a 5-0 win away at Latvia.

In front of the Three Lions this month are their final two World Cup qualifiers as they host Serbia on Thursday 13 November (7.45pm) before travelling to Albania on Sunday 16 November (5pm).

Djed has three caps to his name to date.

We’re back on the road for Sunday’s early kick-off (11.55am UK) as we make a trip to London City Lionesses for our first ever visit in the Barclays Women’s Super League.

As we prepare for another London derby this weekend in the competition, we spoke to Sylvain Jamet, the Women football reporter for footofeminin.fr, to give us the lowdown on the newly promoted side…

What have you made up of London City Lionesses start so far? Although it ended in defeat against Chelsea, it seemed like a good performance against the champions?

Sylvain: “They’re a team in transition that went through a huge rebuilt during the Summer bringing in sixteen new players including a world record fee for Grace Geyoro from Paris Saint-Germain.

“As the promoted team, they knew they needed fresh blood to be able to stay in the WSL. As they are led by an ambitious owner Michelle Kang, they went all-in recruiting a mix of seasoned players and 18 to 21 years old with great potential. Their results have been good so far for a promoted team with nine points out of seven games and defeats only to Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea.

“What we saw against the league champions was a team looking to compete with the best, but with not enough maturity to get something from the best team in England. What they need is time to build relationship on the pitch between players to gel and they will be really competitive in a few months’ time.”

Which of the new signings has caught your eye so far? And who would be your ‘one to watch’ on Sunday?

Sylvain: “I think winger Freya Godfrey, who was permanently signed this Summer from Arsenal, is showing promises and she has a huge potential. She’s a direct player who can go one-v-one with defender and has plenty of pace to run into the spaces.”

Anything differently tactically Jocelyn Precheur from last season?

Sylvain: “Tactically Jocelyn Precheur uses a back four, with a 4-2-3-1 system. The backbone of his team is composed of experienced players Elena Linari at the back, Grace Geyoro in the middle, Kosovare Asslani at 10 and Nikita Parris on the wing.

“His main aim is to play possession based attacking football mixed with direct play when needed. What we saw against Chelsea is they can counter attack also very quickly, if space opens in front of their forward.”

What can we expect from London City Lionesses this weekend?

Sylvain: “I think it will be a tight game this weekend. Martin Ho’s team identity is well defined with high pressure and being aggressive on the ball - big components of the Spurs playbook. A consistent starting XI means the Spurs players mean know each other very well while the London City players are still working on it.”

Micky van de Ven's wonder strike | Spurs 4-0 FC Copenhagen  Tottenham Hotspur

Kevin Danso has become the latest player to support the Club’s local foodbank, Tottenham Foodbank, after he helped volunteers prepare for an evening shift after training today (Thursday 6 November).

Tottenham Foodbank first opened its doors almost six years ago and since then has been providing emergency food parcels containing at least three days’ worth of nutritionally balanced meals for those in crisis across our community. Last winter, Tottenham Foodbank saw 20 per cent more people seeking such help — an additional 166 parcels – with this coming winter expected to be even busier.

The charity, which also provides essential items such as toiletries, has seen donations fall by 75 per cent since their peak during lockdown, forcing the foodbank to spend over £5,000 every month on essential supplies to keep shelves stocked.

During his visit, Kevin prepared food parcels alongside other volunteers before undertaking a tour of the facilities.

He said: “There are people here working every day, making a huge difference to support their local community. I was just happy to do my bit and show that a club like Spurs and people like me are willing to help and give back. I spoke to a couple of the volunteers, and the charity also helps with mental health and gives financial advice, so it is nice to know people are going above and beyond to make a difference.

“I grew up in Austria, but my parents were from Ghana, and so they relied heavily on the support of their communities, which is why I place so much value on it and believe in the power of charity work.”

Tonye Philemon, Project Manager at Tottenham Foodbank, said: “Kevin coming to the foodbank today just underlined how people are noticing the amazing work the staff and volunteers are doing here. We are so grateful for that because the funding climate is very difficult at the moment due to costs, so we are looking for all the support we can get to help the over 750 people who have access to our foodbank.”

The Club sits within one of London’s most deprived areas and has long recognised its responsibility to support vulnerable people within our local community. We are a long-term supporter of our local Foodbanks and make a donation ahead of Christmas every year, in addition to year-round support, to assist those living in crisis.

Our Foundation has also been supporting Haringey Community Food Network (HCFN) over the last year, holding a series of events for our supporters and the local community, including a football tournament attended by Club legend Gary Mabbutt at our Training Centre, to raise money for food banks and other food projects supported by HCFN.

Kevin himself recently became an ambassador for homelessness charity The Passage, aiming to raise awareness of the issue of homelessness and promote the importance of community support. He spent an afternoon volunteering at the charity’s kitchen, helping to prepare and serve lunch, and meeting those involved in its work.

Xavi Simons has vowed to ‘keep working hard’ to help us maintain momentum following the impressive 4-0 win over FC Copenhagen in the UEFA Champions League in midweek.

The midfielder was at his creative best at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Tuesday night, providing an assist and creating the most big chances (three) of any player in this season’s competition in a standout 61 minutes to scoop the official Player of the Match award.

Starting in the attacking midfield role, it was his superb pass that unleashed Brennan Johnson who rounded the goalkeeper before finishing on the angle for the opener on 19 minutes and then carved out two great opportunities for Randal Kolo Muani who failed to capitalise in the first half.

Xavi was replaced by Joao Palhinha just after the hour-mark with us 2-0 up - following Randal’s sublime assist for Wilson Odobert to double our lead - as a consequence of Brennan’s sending off five minutes prior, with our number seven producing an impressive all-round display in midfield.

“We enjoyed this game together with the fans and the most important thing is three points,” said the Dutch international.

I'm a guy that needs to enjoy playing football and that's what I do the most. And tonight, you could see together with the team was special."

Following his summer move from German side RB Leipzig, the 22-year-old made a promising start with an assist on debut against West Ham United in the Premier League but has only shown glimpses of his quality with that assist on Tuesday night his first in 11 appearances as he finds his feet in English football.

"Everyone wants to perform and wants to play good, but this is life," he continued. "You have to keep working hard and every day is a new day, new challenge and new opportunity to perform well.

"I've enjoyed it. Obviously, together with the team, we want to perform always, but things went a little bit different. We are working hard every day to try to do our best and to bring the best performance together.

"You want to perform always, but in life, not everything goes how you want always. But I will always keep working hard and give my 100 per cent and help the team."

With Micky van de Ven taking all the plaudits for his historic marauding run and finish for our third before substitute Joao rounded off a fine European victory at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Xavi was pleased to see this from his Dutch compatriot even if the pair did celebrate the goal afterwards in typical dressing-room fashion!

“Now, I'm honest with you, in the dressing room, I told him I would kill you if I was [Randal] on the right side [for not passing], but if he would miss this one, I would kill him definitely,” he joked.

“Everyone knows how fast this guy is. He doesn't look that fast, but on a pitch when you're next to him, it's just crazy. I'm happy for him that he had this goal and we got the three points.”

Randal Kolo Muani has been named in the France squad for upcoming FIFA 2026 World Cup qualifiers this month.

It marks a maiden call-up as a Spurs player after joining us on a season-long loan from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer and a return to the national team for the first time since June.

Following his debut against Villarreal in the UEFA Champions League, the forward was sidelined for a month with a muscle contusion before making his comeback in mid-October and impressed last time out with an assist in our 4-0 win over FC Copenhagen in midweek.

Randal, who has nine goals in 31 caps, has scored in both a World Cup and European Championship semi-final and provided an assist in the 2022 Final as Les Bleus staged a dramatic comeback to draw 3-3 before losing on penalties to Cristian Romero's Argentina in Qatar.

The two-time world champions currently top Group D with 10 points from four games and a victory over second-placed Ukraine at the Parc des Princes on 13 November would book their place in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Didier Deschamps' side then travel to Azerbaijan three days later to conclude the group stage qualifiers.

France are assured of at least a play-off berth based on their Nations League ranking, with England the only European nation already qualified for next summer's major tournament.

Micky van de Ven made UEFA Champions League history with his outrageous goal against FC Copenhagen on Tuesday night.

A swashbuckling run from his own box to our visitors' area, the defender carried the ball 67.7m before firing into the back of the net which broke the record for the longest ball carry ending in a goal in the history of the competition.

Beating the previous best efforts of Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior who ran 64.4m with the ball before scoring in the Spanish giants 4-2 win over Borussia Dortmund in October, 2024, Micky now takes the crown for the record in the Champions League.

Having already worked with Spurs’ men’s squad, this new partnership epitomises the growth and visibility of Women’s football, continuing its mission to lead innovation in elite nutrition.

EXALT produces the UK’s only fresh, ready-to-drink nutritional smoothie and offers a full range of cold-pressed juices and functional shots. Each recipe is handcrafted in London by a team of expert dietitians and nutritionists, using only whole food ingredients chosen for their proven benefits.
