Tottenham’s seven fixtures from now until the World Cup
Like many clubs, Tottenham Hotspur have a congested fixture list leading up to the winter World Cup in Qatar, so we’ve broken down all the remaining games between now and the international break.
There’s less than a month to go now until the Qatar World Cup commences, with Spurs playing their final game before the big tournament on November 12. The Premier League will resume on Boxing Day.
Spurs’ next game will see them looking to bounce back from the incredibly disappointing defeat at Manchester United as they host high-flying Newcastle on Sunday afternoon. The Premier League game kicks off at 4:30pm.
It’s a return to Champions League action after that, with a crucial tie against Sporting Lisbon at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Spurs can seal qualification from Group D with a win against the Portuguese side.
The game against Sporting takes place on Wednesday 26 October, kicking off at 8:00pm. Spurs lost the reverse fixture 2-0, so there’s extra added incentive to get a good result at home there.
After that, it’s back to domestic duties, with a visit to newly-promoted Bournemouth on Saturday 29 October. This will be a 3:00pm kick off at the Vitality Stadium, and could be a tricky encounter for Spurs against a resurgent Bournemouth.
Spurs will then conclude their Champions League group games with a trip to Marseille on November 1. Hopefully, the Lilywhites will already have their place in the knockout stages confirmed by then, but a positive result in France would still do the trick if not.
In one of the biggest fixtures of the season, Tottenham will then welcome Liverpool to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on November 6. That one is a 4:30pm kick off, and it will be interesting to see which Liverpool side shows up after an inconsistent start to the campaign.
It’s the Carabao Cup third round for Spurs after that, with a trip to Nottingham Forest on November 9 in a 7:45pm kick off. Tottenham beat struggling Forest 2-0 earlier in the season, but anything can happen in cup football of course.
Finally, on November 12 at 3:00pm, Spurs will host Leeds United in the last game before players leave for the World Cup. That’s certainly a game the home side will be expected to win, and end on a high before the break in the season.
