The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was vandalised this week during the international break, but there are no indications that it was motivated by anti-semitism amidst the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Spurs host Fulham at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after the international break and it is unclear how long it will take for repairs to be made, or what parts of the stadium were damaged.
Ange Postecoglou has made his new home somewhat of a fortress since taking over as Spurs manager, just as he did during his time with Celtic and Yokohama. Tottenham are unbeaten at home (and away) in the Premier League so far this season.
