After 2023 men’s international football concluded, we will play a strong few months of domestic football, starting this Sunday at home against Aston Villa (kick-off 2pm UK).
With a win at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, we could move up to third from our current position of fourth, but a win would see the visitors—who are currently one point and one place behind—leapfrog us into the top four.
