We travel to Brisbane Road on Friday 19 September, with kick-off in the capital scheduled for 19:30 (UK).
It’s our third game of the season following a 2-1 defeat to title holders Chelsea and 2-1 comeback win over Brighton & Hove Albion.
Spurs have had a more consistent start to 2025/26, with two wins from two.
Bethany England’s penalty was the difference in their 1-0 triumph over West Ham on the opening weekend. That was followed up by a convincing 2-0 win at Everton.

And the City Head Coach expects a confident Spurs side to provide another tricky test for his team, but one they are ready to face head on.
“All teams that play at their home ground, there is something in their mentality for all coaches and players that they want to show us that this is their home ground,” began Jeglertz.
“At the start we always expect them to come out on the front foot. After a while, if we’ve managed that part, we can take control and also see that there’s an opportunity if they put high pressure on us, we have been good at dealing with that with the braveness inside of the team and the quality in the build-up.
“Hopefully we can punish them in that. Otherwise, the longer the game goes there can be a more organised structure [for Spurs].
“The most important thing is confidence.
“They have confidence but I’m sure too we are a good team. We have respect for our opponent, we know they’re a good team.
“But I think we’re a better team and if we match them, work hard without the ball and respect, I think we have a great opportunity to win there.”
