TLFG: 10-16 November 2025

Welcome one and all to this week's TLFG.

Again I'm pushed for time so at this stage it's just match maps and Monday's previews.

The last week has been pretty eventful.

I managed to get to my first QPR game of the season against Southampton on Wednesday night.

Although the R's lost 2-1, it was a very entertaining second half and I was sat behind the right goal for most of the action.

On Wednesday I went to QPR v Southampton

It was also my birthday that day and I thought that result would see me end things on a low but I then received an email from the Football Supporters Association to say Non-League Day had been shortlisted for the non-league award at their glittering do in London next month - what an honour.

The week ahead will hopefully see me get a game at some point but I'm working at the weekend.

Have a great one!

THE WEEK AHEAD

We've got another international break this week but don't despair, there's still plenty on. Aside from England's game against Serbia, we also have the bonus of Brazil playing Senegal at the Emirates. Other highlights include matches in the EFL, National League and FA Trophy.

In the women's game, we've got the North London Derby in the WSL and also some midweek games in the Women's League Cup.

As always, please make sure you check with clubs before you travel just in case a game has been called off or the venue or kick-off time has changed - this is highly possible for some of the lower non-league clubs and development matches. Also, please let me know if anything is wrong or missing.

Details on all of this week's games can be found on the following match maps. If you've never used them before, please note that when there is more than one match at a specific ground you'll only be able to see individual match pins if you zoom right in. If you don't, the pins obscure each other and you might miss them. To avoid this, you can also scroll down the list of games on the drop down menu at the top of the map page to make sure you get all the information. Games are listed from top to bottom in date order so Monday's games (yellow pin) will appear first and Sunday's (orange pin) last. Games are also ranked in terms of status so the higher the division, the higher up the list they will appear on each day.

Also if you're unfamiliar with the English league structure I indicate the level at which an individual league sits in the national 'pyramid' with the Premier League at the top (Level 1) and various minor leagues at the bottom (Level 10). Typically a top level game will see crowds of anywhere between 20,000-60,000. These figures will gradually decline as you go down the leagues until you get to Levels 8-10 where attendances of 150 or less are most common.

It should also be noted that the top four levels are for fully professional teams. Level 5 has a mixture of professional and semi-professional teams, while Levels 6-10 will see most players paid but it will vary from no more than travel expenses at the bottom, right up to several hundred pounds a week at the top.

TLFG DAILY DIGEST

In the following section, I list what are in my opinion the most notable games of the week and give some brief reasons for my choice. Check the maps above for kick-off times, ticket info and directions.

Monday 10 November

Isthmian League Premier

Aveley v Welling United @745pm - the week begins with a game of equal importance at either end of the table. The Millers got relegated from the NLS last season but are making a decent go of trying to get back up with a win here taking them up to third. The Wings came down with them but sadly things have not improved and they're second bottom. Tickets are £14 on the gate MATCH OFF - Aveley are now at home to ninth tier Benfleet in an Essex Senior Cup tie instead - tickets are £10 on the gate

CCL Premier South

Sutton Common Rovers v Knaphill @745pm - SCR also suffered relegation last season, dropping down to the eighth tier for this campaign. They're in lower midtable and in need of another win but they won't find it easy here as the visitors could go third with victory. Tickets should be in the £8-10 category

CCL Division 1

RB Kensington v Staines & Lammas (Middlesex) @745pm - in the 10th tier there's a big relegation six-pointer with the two clubs sitting either side of the dividing line in 20th and 21st meeting at Northwood's ground. RBK are two points ahead with a game in hand. To my knowledge, the hosts are the only team in TLFG's catchment area with no online presence at all but I'd guess you'd be paying no more than £8 to get in

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuesday 11 November

Professional Development League

If you want to see two games on Tuesday then there are a couple of games at lunchtime in this U21 competition. Millwall host AFC Bournemouth at The Den at 1pm (tickets) while QPR entertain Bristol City at their training ground at 130pm - you can get in for free but you have to fill in a registration form first. All the details can be found on this page

EFL Trophy

Bromley v AFC Wimbledon @745pm - the most high-profile game of the night is this London derby at Hayes Lane. We're still in the group stage at the moment and the top two from each four-team group progress. Stevenage have already claimed top spot, so the winner of this will go through. Weirdly, if this ends in a draw, Wimbledon who have one more point at present, could still go out. When a match is tied, it goes straight to penalties with the winner receiving two points and the loser just one. If Bromley win on penalties then they'll go through on goal difference. Tickets

National League South

Enfield Town v Salisbury @745pm - there's another early season relegation six-pointer at Donkey Lane on Tuesday. Like RBK and Staines & Lammas above, these sides sit either side of the dividing line in the battle to beat the drop. The visitors are just above it and there's a three-point gap between them. Tickets

Isthmian League Premier

Dulwich Hamlet v Wingate & Finchley @745pm - the best supported team in the division take on almost its least supported one at Champion Hill in a real Goliath v David contest. Both teams are in unusual form at the moment. The Hamlet have drawn their last six league matches to keep their place in the top five whilst Wingate have lost only one of their last nine matches, in all competitions, despite playing all of them away. After the terrible incident which led to the death of a Chichester player earlier in the season, the ground has been closed while alterations are made. Tickets

Isthmian League South East

AFC Croydon Athletic v Merstham @745pm - in the eighth tier, these two top-six clubs meet at the Mayfield Stadium. If you're new to London and/or the non-league scene, the Rams are backed by Stromzy and Wilfiried Zaha and are pushing for a second promotion on their watch. The visitors play a short train ride away just to the south of the M25 so there's a bit of a derby feel to this too. Admission should be around £10

London Senior Cup Second Round

Tooting & Mitcham United v Balham @745pm - I don't often highlight county cup games in the early rounds but this is a groundshare derby between two ninth-tier clubs which should be well worth a watch. With the Terrors pushing for promotion and the visitors battling the drop, T&MU should start as favourites. Tickets are £8 on the gate

Middlesex Premier Cup Quarter-Final

Civil Service v Spartans Youth @730pm - Tuesday affords us a rare chance to watch one of London's top amateur clubs, who I don't normally cover, take part in this county cup. Without going into too much detail, amateur football exists in an almost parallel universe to the pro and semi-pro clubs who usually feature here. I don't include these clubs as they play primarily at sports grounds with little in the way of spectator facilities but the standard can be just as good. Civil Service were founded in 1863, were founder members of the FA and are one of the oldest clubs in the world. In recent seasons they've started entering competitions like this against semi-pros and they've done pretty well. With their own ground not having the facilities to host matches like this, this is being played at Colliers Wood United. As for Spartans Youth, they're playing only their fourth season in senior football and have never finished higher than 15th in the CCL Division 1. They're in the bottom five at the moment and could well come unstuck here. I haven't seen anything about admission prices but it shouldn't exceed £8

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wednesday 12 November

Women's League Cup

West Ham United v Southampton @7pm - the biggest crowd of the night will probably be found at Dagenham & Redbridge's ground for this women's match. The Hammers have had a pretty torrid start to their WSL season, having yet to win a game. However, they've won all their group games so far in this competition. The Saints play a level below and should be beaten. Tickets

Premier League International Cup

Crystal Palace v Juventus @7pm - there should also be a pretty healthy crowd at Sutton United too as the Eagles' youngsters welcome their counterparts from Juve for a match in this growing men's U21 competition. I think it's the first year the Italian giants have entered a side and they haven't had it all their own way, beating Leicester City but losing to West Bromwich Albion. Palace have great pedigree in this competition, winning it two seasons ago and getting to the final the year before. Tickets are £5 

Isthmian League South Central

Southall v Hanworth Villa @745pm - the top level non-league game of the night is this match in the eighth tier. Although the 'All are in the bottom five, they've been greatly improved in recent weeks and are alongside promotion chasing Hanworth in the current form table. I think it's fair to say this has a west London derby vibe to it too. Tickets are £12 on the gate 

More previews for 13-16 November to follow

TLFG: 3-9 November 2025

Welcome one and all to this week's guide and apologies for being a day late.

I think it's fair to say my Actonians commitments might be taking up more time than I anticipated!

Work on this blog used to account for about eight hours of my week but it's become a bit more comprehensive since I made that estimation so it could easily be 10 hours by now.

On top of that, I'm now producing a match programme and a podcast for the club.

After a run of home games, it's now five weeks until the next one so hopefully things will calm down a bit.

This season's NLD is just over four months away

However, Non-League Day preparations are now starting to pick up with meetings scheduled with various partners including the Premier League and Prostate Cancer UK.

I know Athletic Bilbao are planning to take part again and there are very promising signs that we could get some co-operation from Italy for the first time this year - hopefully we'll know more by the end of the month.

Anyway, it's match maps only from me for now but I will try and add at least a weekend preview as I've got a couple of days off.

It's actually my birthday on Wednesday and I'm marking it by popping round the corner to watch QPR v Southampton in a Championship game. 

Have a great week everyone.

THE WEEK AHEAD 

This week's highlights include matches in the Premier League, EFL and it's also the Second Round proper of the FA Vase. 

In the women's game, the WSL returns with the highlight being the big derby between Arsenal and Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday lunchtime.

As always, please make sure you check with clubs before you travel just in case a game has been called off or the venue or kick-off time has changed - this is highly possible for some of the lower non-league clubs and development matches. Also, please let me know if anything is wrong or missing.

WEEKEND PREVIEW

Premier League

Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United @1230pm - earlier in the week, I was offered a ticket to this so it was disappointing to check my schedule and find I'm working. Anyway, I digress. In my head, Spurs have made a pretty good start to the season and United not so much but they're actually level on points, just below the top five - a considerable improvement on last season. United always used to dominate games between these two but Spurs are currently unbeaten in seven in all competitions against them. Tickets are only available to members

West Ham United v Burnley @3pm - in east London there's a big relegation six-pointer between the Hammers and Clarets. The recently promoted visitors are three points and one place above the bottom three and with two wins from three, they're in reasonable form. Nuno Espirito Santo got his first win as West Ham boss on Sunday as they came from behind to beat Newcastle 3-1 and they'll expect to get something here too. Tickets

Chelsea v Wolverhampton Wanderers @8pm - the day ends with this game at Stamford Bridge where the Blues start as strong favourites against bottom club Wolves. With three wins from four, Chelsea are level on points with Spurs and Man Utd so if they win here and results go their way, they could end the day in second. Hospitality packages are available from £250

Championship

Millwall v Preston North End @1230pm - we're three months into the season and these two are a point apart in the top five. The Lions haven't played in the top flight since 1990 and you have to go all the way back to 1961 for PNE. If either of them were to make it to the Premier League this year, it would be some achievement. Tickets

League Two

Barnet v MK Dons @3pm - the table in this division is ridiculously tight with only five points between the leaders Walsall and Cambridge United in 13th. The Bees and Dons are both in the middle of this group so the result of this could see a significant change in position. Tickets

Women's Super League

Arsenal v Chelsea @12pm - arguably the biggest game in the WSL calendar takes place at the Emirates at lunch time. These two often push each other hard for the title but the Gunners have made a disappointing start following their Champions League win and they're already five points behind leaders Chelsea in fifth. Given the incredible importance of every point in this division, defeat for Arsenal will almost certainly kill their title ambitions for another year. Tickets

National League

Wealdstone v Braintree Town @3pm - topping the non-league bill is this game at Grosvenor Vale in Ruislip. The Stones beat divisional rivals Southend in the FA Cup last weekend and should be confident of another win here against struggling Braintree. Tickets

Isthmian League Premier

Dartford v Wingate & Finchley @3pm - the Darts are the highest ranked TLFG side in this division. Coming into this game in fourth, a win here could push them into the top three. Wingate are one of the smallest clubs in the seventh tier but caused a significant upset by winning 5-0 at leaders Brentwood Town last Saturday so shouldn't be too daunted by this trip. Tickets

Isthmian League North

Walthamstow v Felixstowe & Walton United @3pm - in the eighth tier, get yourself to Wadham Lodge so you can have a look at the leaders. Felixstowe finished as runners-up last year but lost in the play-offs. Currently four points clear at the top, they need to keep winning as their nearest challengers have games in hand. As for the 'Stow, they ended up 10th last year but are down in 16th coming into this. They are usually well supported, and even though crowds are down, they are a good club to experience. Tickets are £10 on the gate

FA Vase Second Round

This national knockout competition for clubs in the ninth and tenth tiers, reaches a crucial point this weekend. With the qualifying rounds now well behind us, the last group of exempted teams enter the draw. To be part of this exempted group, you had to have made at least the Fourth Round last season so reigning champions Whitstable Town begin their defence here. Clubs from the south-east have started doing really well in this in recent seasons but most of them have been drawn away. Here are the two ties we do have on Saturday:

Fisher v Balham @3pm - first up is this all ninth-tier clash in Rotherhithe. Midtable in the SCEFL Premier, the Fish have a good chance to progress as they face a team towards the wrong end of the CCL Premier South. This run to the Second Round equals their best ever performance in the competition so they'll be making club history if they win here. As for the visitors, this is the best they've ever done. Tickets are £8 on the gate

Haringey Borough v Eynesbury Rovers @3pm - after 11 years playing at a higher level, the hosts return to the FA Vase. Back in the ninth tier and doing well in the SSML Premier, they should start as favourites against Cambridgeshire club Eynesbury. They're also in the ninth tier UCL Premier South but only 12th. Both sides have gone well beyond this round in the past so they have a bit of pedigree in the competition. Tickets are £10 on the gate and the club is cordially inviting anyone from the Spurs v Man Utd game to come along afterwards as Coles Park is on White Hart Lane

SCEFL Division 1

Tooting Bec v AFC Greenwich Borough @3pm - my game of the day in the 10th tier sees two of the top five in this division meet at Chipstead's ground in the far south of TLFG's catchment area. The visitors are playing senior football for the first time this season and could go top with a win. Tickets should be no more than £8 on the gate

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunday 9 November

Premier League

Brentford v Newcastle United @2pm - with three wins from five, the Bees are in pretty good shape and are doing better than many predicted. They actually come into this one point and place above the Magpies who are, arguably, underperforming. Newcastle arrive in London on the back of a 2-0 Champions League win over Athletic Bilbao which they desperately needed after losing to West Ham last weekend. Tickets are only available to members

Crystal Palace v Brighton & Hove Albion @2pm - the Seagulls have become Palace's biggest rivals and consequently this match is very hard to get tickets for. A point apart in midtable, this should be one of the closest matches between the sides for a while. The south London club did the double over Brighton last season and haven't lost to them at Selhurst Park since 2019.

SCEFL Division 1

Halls AFC v Lydd Town @3pm - there's also a random bit of non-league action in the 10th tier where two teams on level points in the bottom six meet at Dartford's Princes Park. If results go against them on Saturday, they could both start this in the relegation zone. Tickets are £8 on the gate

Women's Super League

London City Lionesses v Tottenham Hotspur @1155am - if you hadn't already noticed, the vast majority of WSL games are starting on or around midday this season. It seems a strange thing to do but it does allow groundhoppers a better chance of doing a double on Sundays. This match sees LCL, the country's highest ranked independent women's club, go after their fourth win of the season to try and cement their place in the top six. Spurs are possibly having the best start to a campaign they've ever had. They could break back into the top three if they win this match which is being played at Bromley's ground. Tickets

West Ham United v Leicester City @12pm - in Dagenham, the Hammers will be going after their first point of the season against fellow strugglers Leicester. Already five points adrift of safety and bottom of the table, the east London club cannot afford to lose. Tickets

Women's Super League 2

Charlton Athletic v Southampton @2pm - the Addicks are top and took a big step towards a place in the WSL by beating title rivals Birmingham City 1-0 in the Midlands last weekend. Now four points clear, it's looking pretty good for Karen Hills' team. Here they face a Saints side who slipped to fifth on Sunday after losing 3-2 at home to newly promoted Nottingham Forest. This is being played at The Valley and tickets are available online

Crystal Palace v Sheffield United @2pm - with only one win from seven, it's fair to say that the Eagles' return from the WSL isn't going too well. Only three points above bottom club Ipswich, they need to pick up some points soon. The Blades have taken seven points from their last three which has seen them surge up the table after a terrible start. This is being played at Sutton United and tickets are available in advance

TLFG: 27 October - 2 November 2025

Greetings one and all and welcome to this week's TLFG.

I actually had a whole weekend off and was able to pack it with sport - a rarity for me!

On Saturday morning I did my first parkrun in ages, taking part in the 14th anniversary edition of the event at Gunnersbury Park alongside some of Actonians' 3rd XI players.

Although I'm way off the fitness I used to have, I was very pleased with my time of 25.49 so onwards and upwards.

My brother was supposed to be visiting from Bristol in the afternoon but his car broke down and I took up the invitation to watch my first ever women's rugby match instead.

Defender Jennie Brereton was Actonians' star player against Watford 

A friend of mine is a rugby coach and ref and has been asking me along to Ealing Trailfinders for a long time and with the women's team playing Exeter Chiefs, it seemed like the perfect opportunity.

I actually held my wedding reception there over 20 years ago and hadn't been back since.

To say the place had changed would be an understatement!

We had a marquee on what is now the first-team pitch which has stands at either end and a TV commentary/broadcast tower on one side.

For £10 I got to watch two teams packed with international stars from the recent Women's World Cup and I got ridiculously close to the action.

The food and drink options were great and there were loads of activities for kids.

Sadly Trailfinders lost 24-12 but it was still a great way to spend an afternoon.

Sunday saw normal service resume as I headed out to Greenford to watch Actonians take on Watford in the Women's FA Cup.

The A's started as significant underdogs and when they fell behind after only three minutes, the predicted defeat looked a certainty.

Although they competed well throughout and forced a number of chances in the second half, the Hornets were clinical, took their chances and won 5-0.

Next up, the team face back-to-back derbies against London Bees and QPR on Sunday.

As it stands, I can't attend either but I'm hopeful for a shift change on Thursday which could help me out.

It's half term for my kids, so I haven't got time to do a 'Daily Digest' just yet but you've got the match maps.

That's it for now, so have a great week.

UPDATE - my Saturday preview is now available below

THE WEEK AHEAD

This week's highlights include matches in the Premier League, EFL and it's also the First Round proper of the FA Cup. 

In the women's game, the WSL returns after an international break and there's a full programme of games in the lower divisions with games in midweek and on Sunday.

As always, please make sure you check with clubs before you travel just in case a game has been called off or the venue or kick-off time has changed - this is highly possible for some of the lower non-league clubs and development matches. Also, please let me know if anything is wrong or missing.

Details on all of this week's games can be found on the following match maps. If you've never used them before, please note that when there is more than one match at a specific ground you'll only be able to see individual match pins if you zoom right in. If you don't, the pins obscure each other and you might miss them.

Games are listed from top to bottom in date order so Monday's games (yellow pin) will appear first and Sunday's (orange pin) last. Games are also ranked in terms of status so the higher the division, the higher up the list they will appear on each day.

TLFG WEEKEND DIGEST

In the following section, I list what are in my opinion the most notable games of the weekend and give some brief reasons for my choice. Check the maps above for kick-off times, ticket info and directions.

Saturday 1 November

Premier League

Crystal Palace v Brentford @3pm - fresh from their EFL Cup win at Liverpool on Wednesday, the Eagles will look to end their three game winless run in the league. However, they're going to have to do it against a Bees side who are in good form. The west London club arrive at Selhurst Park on the back of three straight wins in all competitions so it could be quite a scrap. Tickets are only available to members whilst hospitality starts at £450+

Fulham v Wolverhampton Wanderers @3pm - talking of form, these two are in desperately short supply of the stuff at the moment. The Cottagers have lost four on the bounce to sit just above the relegation zone whilst Wolves are rock bottom. On paper, it's definitely not the sexiest fixture in town and consequently there are tickets available

Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea @530pm - the biggest match of the weekend kicks off at teatime as these two fierce London rivals meet for what is always a hotly anticipated contest. It's not often that Spurs find themselves several places above the Blues in the table but that's the way things stand at the moment. A win for the hosts could see them go second. Tickets are only available to members but you can get hospitality for £399

Championship

Charlton Athletic v Swansea City @3pm - with only three defeats from their first 12, the newly promoted Addicks are in the top six and making a fine start to life back in the division. Here they play midtable opposition from Wales who are making their first trip to The Valley since 2019. On that occasion they won 2-1 and will no doubt hope for something similar to happen this time. Tickets

QPR v Ipswich Town @3pm - the R's were storming up the table but two defeats from their last three have tempered expectations. Next up they face an Ipswich side just down from the Premier League and struggling to find their feet. Two points below QPR in midtable, they don't have a great record at Loftus Road. Aside from a win on their last visit in 2023, they lost every game prior to that going back to 2010. Tickets

Watford v Middlesbrough @3pm - the Hornets have been models of inconsistency this season so it's no surprise to find them in 14th. Saturday's opponents are second in the table so should be very tough to beat but they have only won two of their last six so there's a chance. Tickets 

FA Cup First Round

One of the major moments of the English football calendar is here. This is the point in the competition where League One and League Two sides enter the draw alongside all the remaining non-league teams who made it through the qualifying rounds. The prize money starts getting really serious too with the winners of each tie receiving £47,750 and the losers £15,800. The draw is also no longer regionalised so clubs can end up going anywhere. The following ties are being played in London:

AFC Wimbledon v Gateshead @3pm - to highlight the openness of the draw we have this tie which sees non-league Gateshead have to travel all the way down from the north-east to the south London suburbs. The Dons are in the top six in League One so should start as strong favourites. Tickets

Boreham Wood v Crawley Town @3pm - there's a very real chance of an upset at Meadow Park where the non-league Wood, who have a decent FA Cup pedigree, welcome one of League Two's strugglers. Tickets

Bromley v Bristol Rovers @3pm - there's an all League Two contest at Hayes Lane where the Ravens should start as marginal favourites. Five points above the Gas in midtable, the hosts will be looking to replicate last season's run to the Third Round which was the best in their history. Tickets

Sutton United v AFC Telford United @3pm - the U's have one of the most famous FA Cup histories of any non-league club with numerous scalps of much higher-ranked teams claimed over the years. This time they're the ones in danger of suffering a humiliation. Currently bottom of the fifth tier and in real trouble, they welcome a side from the division below. Tickets

Wealdstone v Southend United @3pm - although both these non-league sides would've probably been disappointed to draw each other (they're in the same division), they know the chances of getting to the next round and banking the prize money are pretty high. When they last played in September, the Stones won a thrilling game 3-2 in front of their biggest crowd of the season. An even bigger crowd should be expected here (the away allocation has sold out) so I'd advise buying tickets in advance as the ground is small 

Women's Super League

Chelsea v London City Lionesses @12pm - if you want an early game then head to Stamford Bridge to see the reigning champions take on the new upstarts who head over from south-east London. After some time off for the international break, it will be interesting to see how these teams perform. If you're a groundhopper, this can easily be combined with a number of games including the ones at Fulham and QPR. Tickets

Isthmian League Premier

Dartford v Welling United @3pm - I'm a bit short on time this week so when it comes to non-league I'm just going to pick out some games which really leap out at me. This seventh-tier match is a big derby between two local rivals. Both sides are used to playing at a higher level but have hit a bad patch over the last few years and are both now in the seventh tier. The Darts are fifth and pushing to get back up but the Wings are struggling and on course for a second consecutive relegation. Dartford won their other derby at Cray Wanderers last week in front of over 1,000 fans so I'd expect to see another bumper crowd here. Tickets

Southern League Division 1 Central

Hadley v Enfield @3pm - in the eighth tier we've got a north London derby at Brickfield Lane. The hosts have been in play-off contention but they've slipped outside the top five and need to win here to stay in touch. Enfield used to be one of the biggest names in non-league football but around 20 years ago it all went wrong and the club became defunct. Two clubs now exist - Enfield Town who play in the sixth tier and remain in the town and Enfield who don't have their own ground and play home games outside London. They're down in the relegation zone and will do well to get anything here. Tickets are £10 on the gate

Essex Senior League

Barking v Romford @3pm - in east London we've got a groundshare derby at Mayesbrook Park. The Blues, who are the landlords, are having the better season. Currently third, they could go top with a win. Romford won the FA Vase in 2024 but haven't been able to push on from that great day and are in the bottom five. Tickets are £10 on the gate

SSML Division 1

Everett Rovers v Ampthill Town @3pm - the hosts' amazing unbeaten run is still ongoing. Remember, this club are playing in the 10th tier for the first time after promotion. After 15 games they've yet to lose and are nine points clear at the top. Here they face the team in fourth who have a couple of games in hand so the record could be strongly tested. Tickets should be around £7 on the gate

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunday 2 November

Premier League

West Ham United v Newcastle United @2pm - it's fair to say that both these sides have made disappointing starts to the season. Already on to the second manager of the campaign, the Hammers are second bottom with only one win from nine games. New boss Nuno Espirito Santo is still looking for his first victory since leaving Nottingham Forest. As for the Magpies, after qualifying for the Champions League last season, they've become the archetypal midtable club with three wins, three draws and three defeats and are in the bottom half. An away win looks the more likely as Newcastle seem to enjoy their trips to London Stadium - they won there last season and are unbeaten on their last six visits. Tickets

Women's Super League

Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool @2pm - just a mile and a half to the north at the same time, we have the pick of the day's women's action. Brisbane Road plays host to Spurs as they look to get back into the top three. Their chances look good as the Reds are second bottom and have lost every game. Online ticket sales have ended but you can purchase on arrival for £10

FAWNL Southern Premier

AFC Wimbledon v AFC Bournemouth @2pm - the Dons return to Imperial Fields for a very challenging fixture. This season has been a struggle and last weekend saw them bow out of the FA Cup at home to Chatham Town who play a level below them. However, they responded brilliantly to win 3-0 at Lewes in the league on Wednesday to keep themselves out of the bottom two. Here they face the leaders who retook top spot from Watford in midweek with a 2-1 win over Oxford United. The Cherries are unbeaten this season and the hosts will do really well to get anything here. Tickets

FAWNL Division 1 South East

Actonians v QPR @2pm - game of the day in the fourth tier is this west London derby at North Greenford United's ground. After three straight defeats in all competitions, the A's picked up an impressive 2-1 away win at London Bees on Thursday to cut the gap on the top six to four points. The R's also did well, becoming the first team to take a point of leaders Fulham with a 1-1 draw on Wednesday. Not only do these teams come from neighbouring areas of London but QPR have Actonians' most successful management duo in the dugout and one of their former players. On paper, the visitors should be marginal favourites but strange things happen in these matches. Tickets

TLFG: 20-26 October 2025

Greetings everyone and welcome to this week's TLFG.

I've been at work all weekend and I'm about to head in again so it's just match maps from me at this stage - hopefully I'll get time later today (Monday) to get some previews up.

We've got a pretty full programme of games to enjoy over the next seven days with something happening every day.

For those of you, like me, who love a random international friendly then Brazil v Senegal next month at Arsenal's ground sounds like a lot of fun - having had a very quick look at tickets, the cheapest ones at £27.50 appear to be in the upper tier behind the goals. Everything in the lower tier appears to be £60+ so get in quick to get a good price.

My live football watching this week should take me to North Greenford United on Sunday to watch Actonians take on Watford in a Women's FA Cup tie. 

The money from winning ties in this competition is absolutely essential for independent women's clubs like the A's, so there was huge groan when the Hornets were named as opponents as they are the highest-ranked team in the draw. The chances of beating them are tiny, especially when your goalkeeper gets themselves suspended after being sent off in the last minute the week before!

Anyway, I've got get the kids to school and get in to Waterloo to train some new staff - have a great week.

THE WEEK AHEAD

This week's highlights include matches in the Champions League, Premier League, EFL, National League and FA Trophy.

There's an international break in the women's game so the First Round 'proper' of the Women's FA Cup takes centre stage with teams from the third to seventh tiers taking part.

As always, please make sure you check with clubs before you travel just in case a game has been called off or the venue or kick-off time has changed - this is highly possible for some of the lower non-league clubs and development matches. Also, please let me know if anything is wrong or missing.

Details on all of this week's games can be found on the following match maps. If you've never used them before, please note that when there is more than one match at a specific ground you'll only be able to see individual match pins if you zoom right in. If you don't, the pins obscure each other and you might miss them. To avoid this, you can also scroll down the list of games on the drop down menu at the top of the map page to make sure you get all the information. Games are listed from top to bottom in date order so Monday's games (yellow pin) will appear first and Sunday's (orange pin) last. Games are also ranked in terms of status so the higher the division, the higher up the list they will appear on each day.

Also if you're unfamiliar with the English league structure I indicate the level at which an individual league sits in the national 'pyramid' with the Premier League at the top (Level 1) and various minor leagues at the bottom (Level 10). Typically a top level game will see crowds of anywhere between 20,000-60,000. These figures will gradually decline as you go down the leagues until you get to Levels 8-10 where attendances of 150 or less are most common.

It should also be noted that the top four levels are for fully professional teams. Level 5 has a mixture of professional and semi-professional teams, while Levels 6-10 will see most players paid but it will vary from no more than travel expenses at the bottom, right up to several hundred pounds a week at the top.

TLFG DAILY DIGEST

In the following section, I list what are in my opinion the most notable games of the week and give some brief reasons for my choice. Check the maps above for kick-off times, ticket info and directions.

Monday 20 October

Premier League

West Ham United v Brentford @8pm - all London derbies are important but with both sides in the bottom five, this one is of extra significance. With one win from seven, the Hammers have made a very poor start and have dispensed with the services of manager Graham Potter already. New man Nuno Espirito Santo is still to get his first win but he'll be eyeing this game as a great opportunity. The Bees have been little better with only two wins and they'll find themselves on level points with members of the bottom three if they lose this. Tickets

Isthmian League Cup Third Round

Carshalton Athletic v Binfield @745pm - if you'd prefer a non-league option then head south to Colston Avenue where the hosts should start as strong favourites against Binfield who play in the division below them. Tickets

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuesday 21 October

UEFA Champions League

Arsenal v Atletico Madrid @8pm - the Gunners are one of six teams with a 100% record in the Champions League. Wins over Athletic Bilbao and Olympiakos were good but Atletico should represent a further step up in class. The sides last met in the Europa League in 2018 and it was the Spanish side who win 2-1 on aggregate over two legs. Tickets are only available to members

Championship

Millwall v Stoke City @745pm - after winning their big derby at QPR on Saturday, the Lions come into this in sixth. The Potters are third after their win over Wrexham and are unbeaten in four. It's another big one for the south London club who could go third if they win. Tickets

EFL Trophy

Barnet v Cambridge United @745pm - the Bees welcome Group H leaders Cambridge to The Hive for a game in this less than popular competition. Although not a huge hit with fans, it does offer League Two sides a very real shot at getting to Wembley which is just down the road from this ground. Tickets

National League Cup

There are also a couple of games in this competition as teams in the fifth tier take on sides from Premier League academies. Sutton United welcome a young side from West Ham United whilst Wealdstone entertain Nottingham Forest. Both matches start at 7pm and you can get tickets on the gate

National League South

Hampton & Richmond Borough v Hemel Hempstead Town @745pm - one of the longest name combos in English football is ours to enjoy on Tuesday. The Beavers lost their big game against Weston-super-Mare on Saturday to extend their winless run to five games. HHT are sixth and preparing for an FA Cup First Round trip to Wigan Athletic. Tickets

Southern League Premier South

Chertsey Town v Sholing @745pm - game of the day in the seventh tier sees the Curfews welcome opposition from Hampshire. Only goal difference is keeping the visitors out of the play-off places so it could be a tough evening for the hosts who are down in midtable. Tickets

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wednesday 22 October

UEFA Champions League

Chelsea v Ajax @8pm - with one win between them, neither of these sides have made a great start to their European campaigns. The Blues come into this on the back of three straight wins in all competitions so should start as strong favourites against an Ajax side who've won less than half of their Eredivisie games this season. Tickets are only available to members

Championship

Watford v West Bromwich Albion @745pm - with one defeat from four, the Hornets are 15th and five points adrift of the play-off places. The Baggies, at the time of writing, are in the top six and should provide a very stern test for the hosts. Tickets

Isthmian League South Central

Kingstonian v Moneyfields @745pm - after some managerial upheaval, the K's are getting things back on track. With two defeats in their last six, they find themselves 14th in this eighth-tier division. The visitors, who come from Portsmouth, are second in the form table and fifth in the real table. They beat title contenders Raynes Park Vale in their last game so the hosts will do well to win. Tickets

CCL Premier South

Balham v Cobham @745pm - the hosts, who groundshare at Tooting & Mitcham, are pottering along in midtable so the main reason to watch this game is to check out the visitors. Cobham are top of this ninth-tier division, four points clear with two games in hand on their nearest rivals Fleet Town. Tickets are £8 on the gate

Women's Southern Counties Competition

Middlesex v Kent @730pm - being played at Rectory Park in Northolt, the hosts are the defending champions in this four team tournament which also features sides representing the Essex and Army FAs. QPR legend Kasha Petit is taking charge of Middlesex for the first time as manager. The squad is usually made up of players from clubs like the R's, Actonians, Ashford Town, Brentford and London Bees. I think admission is free but it shouldn't be more than £5

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thursday 23 October

UEFA Conference League

Crystal Palace v AEK Larnaca @8pm - with one game played, it's incredibly early days in this competition. Aside from the Intertoto Cup, this will be the Eagles' first proper European home match in their history. After a fine away win over Dynamo Kiev in their first away game, here they welcome a side from Cyprus. They began with a thumping 4-0 win over Dutch club AZ so they could make life tricky for the hosts. Despite being an historic fixture for the club, tickets are on general sale

L&SE Women's League D1 North

Clapton CFC v AFC Greenwich Borough @745pm - if you'd prefer a women's game or can't afford £40+ for the match above, then why not head to the Old Spotted Dog and see a match at London's oldest ground? These sides are neck-and-neck in the middle of this sixth tier division so it should be competitive. Tickets are £5 on the gate

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Friday 24 October

U21 Matches

Three U21 games dominate proceedings in the capital on Friday. The match between West Ham United and Aston Villa at the Hammers' Rush Green facility is the most eye-catching. Fulham entertain Derby County at their training ground in Motspur Park whilst QPR host Cardiff City at Hanwell Town's ground. All matches start at 7pm and should be no more than £5 on the gate

ECL Division 1 South

Lymore Gardens v Dunmow Town @745pm - on the east side of town, there are three games in this 10th-tier division. The hosts in this game are fighting hard for top spot with Newbury Forest who they groundshare with. Lymore are second but are on level points with Forest and have played a game less. Dunmow are down in 14th and should be beaten. Tickets are £7 on the gate

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Saturday 25 October

Premier League

Chelsea v Sunderland @3pm - I am not the most avid watcher of the Premier League, I don't have any skin in the game so why should I be that bothered, but I do keep abreast of it. Although I've heard some positive chatter about the Mackems, who are back in this division after several years away, I don't think it's reflected just how well they've been doing. Seventh after eight games, they're on level points with the Blues and could give them a really tough afternoon. Tickets are only available to members but hospitality is available from £275

Brentford v Liverpool @8pm - the Bees pick up the Saturday 8pm slot for what seems like the third time this season. Apparently it's to allow Liverpool's players a few extra hours recovery after their midweek Champions League trip to Germany. The Reds ended their disappointing run with a 5-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in that game and will head to the GTech confident of picking up another one. Expected to struggle this season, Brentford picked up a crucial win at West Ham on Monday to move themselves into the relative comfort of midtable. They've had a good record against some of the big clubs since they joined the Premier League but they've now lost five in a row against the reigning league champions. Tickets are only available to members and hospitality has sold out

Championship

Millwall v Leicester City @3pm - back-to-back wins in big games against QPR and Stoke have taken the Lions up to the heady heights of third. In terms of average attendance, Millwall are one of the smallest clubs in this division so to be competing for promotion is some achievement by Alex Neil and his staff. The Foxes, back down from the Premier League, were supposed to be among the challengers but with only four wins from 11 games, they're down in ninth and eight points behind leaders Coventry. With one win in six, Marti Cifuentes' side could well become the latest team to come unstuck here. Tickets 

League One

AFC Wimbledon v Burton Albion @3pm - the Dons are another side to be confounding a few predictions. New to this level after promotion, they're in the top four and top of the six-game form table. However, most of the sides beaten in that run were from the lower reaches of the table and Burton also fit this description. With three wins from 12, they're in the bottom three. One other point to note, the Midlands club have become a bit of bogey team for the Londoners in recent years and are now unbeaten in nine games against them. Tickets

Leyton Orient v Lincoln City @3pm - after the thumping 4-0 victory over Doncaster, the O's poor form returned as they lost 1-0 to Rotherham. Only a point above the relegation zone, things are looking rather gloomy at Brisbane Road right now. The Imps head south with a place in the top five to defend. They achieved it after last Saturday's superb 1-0 win over title contenders Stevenage so it could well be another tough afternoon for the hosts. Tickets

League Two

Bromley v MK Dons @3pm - after a positive start, the Ravens' form has dropped right off. With one win in six, they're down to 13th. Sadly for them, they're running into promotion chasing MK Dons during a real purple patch and they could go top here if they win and other results go their way. Tickets

Premier League 2

Chelsea v Arsenal @2pm - the Blues are starting to make a strange habit of scheduling U21 games on Saturday afternoons, especially when the first team are in action. It seems even more strange when it's one of their academy side's biggest fixtures but that's the way it is. It provides a great alternative if you're a Chelsea or Arsenal fan who can't get/afford tickets for the first team though. It's being played at Kingsmeadow near Kingston. Tickets

National League

Wealdstone v Sutton United @3pm - these two London clubs have managed only three wins between them over their last 10 games. The Stones are picking up the odd draw too so they're still in 11th and not doing too badly but as for the U's, it's not looking very good at all. Chris Agutter has been brought in as manager from Worthing and since he took over, he's managed a couple of draws in the league and a replay win over Farnham in the FA Cup. Things need to improve soon or they'll be heading down. Tickets

National League South

Hornchurch v Hampton & Richmond Borough @3pm - the Urchins saw their spell at the top of the sixth tier come to an end on Tuesday. They'd played a game more than Weston-super-Mare and whilst the east Londoners were in cup action, WSM thrashed Slough Town 5-1 to jump above them. Only one goal now separates them so they're still very much in the title race. Hampton & Richmond also looked like promotion contenders a few weeks ago but their midweek loss to Hemel Hempstead was their third in a row and took their winless run to six games as they slipped to 12th. Tickets

Isthman League Premier

Cray Wanderers v Dartford @3pm - many clubs in the seventh tier are either in FA Trophy action or simply have the week off. Not these two though and what a prospect this is. Two local rivals on the south-east side of town who are both in the top six of this seventh-tier division. I'd expect a good few hundred for this, possibly pushing 1,000. Tickets

FA Trophy First Round

Walton & Hersham v Hendon @3pm - no new clubs enter the draw at this stage so there are 32 ties around the country made up of the surviving clubs from the seventh and eighth tiers. In TLFG's catchment area, the Swans are the only ones to be playing at home. On paper, the Southern League Premier South leaders should start as strong favourites against the Greens who play a level below them. However, they did cause a notable upset by beating Dulwich Hamlet in the last round. A lot may depend on whether the hosts rotate their squad as promotion must be the main focus of their campaign this season. Tickets

Isthmian League South East

AFC Croydon Athletic v Herne Bay @3pm - again, the FA Trophy means a lot of our local eighth-tier teams aren't in action on Saturday but this game should be worth a watch. With 12 games played, two points separate the top three. The Rams are currently third so a win here could put them back on top. Standing in their way are Kent seaside club Herne Bay who are sixth and heading to London on the back of four wins from their last five. Tickets should be in the region of £10 and available on the gate

CCL Premier South

Cobham v Redhill @3pm - game of the day in the ninth tier sees the leaders welcome the side in fourth. The Hammers have made a fantastic start to the season and are already four points clear at the top with two games in hand on second placed Fleet Town. Redhill were part of last season's famous three-way title race which ended with deducted points and all kinds of off-field drama - they ultimately lost in the play-offs. Nine points behind Cobham and having played a game more, they're going to have to up their levels significantly to get back into title contention again. Tickets are £8 on the gate

SSML Division 1

Everett Rovers v Eaton Socon @3pm - one of the stories of the season continues in the 10th tier where the newly promoted hosts continue to impress in their first campaign at this level. Unbeaten after 13 league games and with only one draw, they're three points clear at the top. Sitting four points behind them in third but with a game in hand are Eaton Socon. Hailing from St Neots in Cambridgeshire, they've only lost one of their 12 games so this will go some way to showing us just how good Everett are. Tickets will be available on the gate for around £7-8

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunday 26 October

Premier League

Arsenal v Crystal Palace @2pm - this derby tops the bill on Sunday and should produce an intriguing contest. Although the Gunners are top of the league, the Eagles have been one of the toughest sides to beat in recent months. However, signs that their golden spell is coming to end are starting to show. Now three without a win after losing at home to AEK Larnaca in the Conference League, Oliver Glasner's side are going to have to seriously up their game here. This match will also be the first match between the sides since Eberechi Eze's big move to the Emirates so all eyes will be on him. Tickets are only available to members and the last remaining hospitality packages start at £1,095!

Women's FA Cup First Round

Most of the action in London on Sunday is in this competition. With the qualifying rounds out of the way, the bigger clubs start to enter the draw. Today's ties will see teams from the third tier join the surviving sides from the fourth to seventh tiers. The winners of each tie receive £6,000 and the losers £1,500. There are several ties around the capital:

Actonians v Watford @2pm - when the Hornets came out of the hat, as A's fan my heart sank. At the time, they were second in the third tier and hence one of the toughest sides we could've drawn. Since then, they've gone top so are THE toughest side we could've drawn. This is one of the biggest matches in Actonians' history and the odds are well and truly stacked against them. Last week, the team's goalkeeper got sent off in the last minute so a frantic search for a replacement has been underway all week - I believe someone has been recruited. The last time these sides met in a friendly in 2023, the Hornets won 13-0 but they were a second-tier club with Michelle Agyemang on their books. I'll be there and so can you - tickets are £6 and the match is at North Greenford United

AFC Wimbledon v Chatham Town @2pm - the Dons have made a disappointing start to the season. Sitting just above the relegation zone in the third tier, they also made an early exit from the FAWNL Cup largely thanks to administrative error. Here they face a solid side from the division below who could give them problems - there is definitely cupset potential. This is being played at Plough Lane and tickets are available 

Brentford v Sutton United @3pm - this tie pits two fifth-tier teams against each other and I can only see one winner. The Bees are currently top of the division with a 100% record and beat Sutton 3-1 in September. In Gabrielle Williams, the U's have one of the best strikers in the division but I doubt that will be enough. This is being played at Bedfont Sports and admission is apparently free

Dartford v Forest Green Rovers @2pm - the Darts are one of Brentford's main rivals in the fifth tier and they took the big scalp of QPR in the last round, going through on penalties. Here they play a side who are top of a parallel fifth-tier division in the south-west. In theory it should be really close so let's see what happens. This is being played at Princes Park but I can find absolutely nothing about admission prices - it shouldn't be more than £5 though

Fulham v South London @2pm - if Actonians look set for a tough afternoon, then I really feel for the visitors here. The Cottagers are top of their fourth-tier division and looking like certainties for promotion. South London, on the other hand, are one of the last remaining seventh-tier clubs left in the draw and given the way women's football works, they'll do really well to keep the score to single figures. This is being played at Fulham's training ground. Tickets

Haringey Borough v Bristol Rovers @2pm - I really like the look of this tie, I'm not sure why but I just do. If all goes according to plan, then Rovers should complete a comfortable victory. Doing very well in their fourth-tier division, they should have too much for Haringey who play a level below. However, something tells me this might not be as straightforward as they might hope. It's free entry here too

Hashtag United v Oxford United @3pm - last season this all-third tier clash would've been one to watch. Sadly, as has been mentioned often on here, the Tags are a shadow of last season's title contenders and are in the bottom two instead. On paper, fifth placed Oxford should win but they only managed a 1-1 draw in the league here at the start of the month. This is being played at Aveley and tickets are £5 on the gate

London Bees v Barking @2pm - the hosts are third in the fourth tier and will probably be pretty happy to have drawn a Blues side from the lower reaches of the division below. Dan McKimm's side struggle against the really good sides but tend to mercilessly dispatch those below them as Colchester United discovered in the last round, losing 10-1. The only spark of hope for the visitors is striker Laura Bunton who scored a whopping 35 goals for them last season and has got 10 again already. This is being played at The Hive complex, not the stadium, and tickets are available

Millwall Lionesses v Cheltenham Town @2pm - fifth in their fifth-tier division, the Lionesses face a tough afternoon against a Robins side from two levels above them. Cheltenham haven't had a great start to their third-tier campaign but they should have enough to win through. This is being played at St Paul's Sports Ground near Rotherhithe station.I haven't seen any ticket details but it shouldn't be more than £5

Previews for 26 October to follow
