This midweek, there are several Tottenham Hotspur loanees, in multiple different competitions, for multiple different teams. Let’s take a look at who they will be up against, and when they will be playing.

To begin, Ashley Phillips and his Stoke City side host Bristol City on Tuesday evening. The young Spurs defender has found game time hard to come by under new manager Narcis Pelach, with the young Spanish manager preferring a duo of Michael Rose and Ben Gibson. 19:45 BST kick off.

Elsewhere in the Championship, Dane Scarlett and his Oxford United side host Derby County, as they look to continue their unbeaten start at home. They were on the brink of losing that record on Saturday, but a stoppage time header from Scarlett salvaged a point. Let’s see if he is rewarded with a start here. Kick off is also 19:45 BST.

Into League One, where Matthew Craig and Barnsley welcome Charlton Athletic to Oakwell. Craig will be hoping to be back in the starting XI, having been left out for the first time in the league during the win at Blackpool last time out. Another 19:45 BST kick off here.

Down South, Josh Keeley, Jamie Donley, and Leyton Orient face Rotherham United at home. Keeley made his first league start for the O’s on Saturday in their defeat at Northampton Town. Once again – 19:45 BST kick off.

Into League Two, and the first away game for a Spurs loanee, where George Abbott and Notts County will be making the long trip North to face Barrow. Abbott has started the last two games as a right wing-back, though played the second half of the win against AFC Wimbledon in midfield. 19:45 BST kick off.

Onto the continent, where Bryan Gil and his Girona side face SK Slovan Bratislava at home in the UEFA Champions League. The clubs first ever European campaign has not gone to plan so far, with defeats to Paris Saint Germain and Feyenoord to get the ball rolling.

However, their opponents have also lost both of their games, conceding nine goals and only scoring one goal in the process. Gil missed the weekends defeat to Real Sociedad with an injury, and will be hoping he can be available for this one, although it does feel like it will be some effort to do so. For the first time, kick off for this one is the slightly later time of 20:00 BST.
