In case you were wondering, Tottenham Hotspur have had their Carabao Cup third round match details confirmed by the FA today; Spurs will kick off against League One side Doncaster Rovers at home on Wednesday, September 24. Welcome back, mid-week football!<\/p>\n
As a consequence, Tottenham\u2019s weekend Premier League match against Wolves, originally scheduled for a 3 pm UK kick, has been moved back to the late-late slot on Saturday evening \u2014 an 8 pm kick-off (3 pm ET) in North London.<\/p>\n
This has rankled some fans who don\u2019t like 8 pm kick-offs in London for various transport reasons, but with Tottenham set to fly to Norway immediately afterwards for a Tuesday evening Champions League match against Bod\u00f8\/Glimt, I can only assume the league thought a Saturday late match was better than pushing them to Sunday, when they\u2019d have one less day to prepare for Champions League. Even so, three matches in a week feels\u2026 excessive? Not sure there\u2019s much that can be done to avoid it, though.<\/p>\n
No matter what it\u2019s going to be a run of fixtures with very little recovery and prep time. We should probably get used to that \u2014 it\u2019s the nature of football and so long as Spurs are competing in four competitions, the matches will come thick and fast. I can only imagine that Spurs will likely rotate pretty heavily against Doncaster, moderately against Wolves, and go full-tilt against Bod\u00f8\/Glimt. That\u2019s why we have a squad!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In case you were wondering, Tottenham Hotspur have had their Carabao Cup third round match details confirmed by…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":197167,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[109498,221,62,44751,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-197166","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-champions-league-2025-26","9":"tag-soccer","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-tottenham-hotspur-news","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-unitedstates","14":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115141135803478813","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=197166"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197166\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/197167"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=197166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=197166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=197166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
