Tottenham Analysis
Tottenham start their pre-season following an inconsistent end to their last campaign. Across their final ten competitive fixtures, they managed five wins, two draws, and three losses, a spell of form they will want to leave behind.
The team finished their Premier League season with a 1-0 victory against Everton. In Europe, their UEFA Champions League run was cut short in the round of 16 after being knocked out by Atletico Madrid.
Simons and Odobert will miss this duel due to injuries. Still, the Spurs will do their best to focus on building cohesion and sharpness for the upcoming competitive season.
