Tottenham finish their pre-season preparations with a double-header of friendlies against Hoffenheim. Roberto De Zerbi’s side host the Bundesliga outfit at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium today, before the two teams meet again in a behind-closed-doors contest at Hotspur Way less than 24 hours later.
Strong Starting XI Named
Spurs are likely to field two completely different starting lineups in each game, with those who are partially or not involved at all on Saturday likely to play on Sunday as De Zerbi looks to get his squad up to full fitness ahead of the Premier League getting under way next weekend.
Tottenham remain unbeaten in pre-season, but were held to a 1-1 draw by Getafe in another behind-closed-doors friendly last Saturday that was played over 70 minutes.
Confirmed Lineup
De Zerbi plumps for a strong team. Antonin Kinsky is in net, with a defence of Andy Robertson and Archie Gray as the full-backs, and Jan Paul van Hecke and Marcos Senesi partnering each other. In midfield, Conor Gallagher, Lucas Bergvall and Sandro Tonali are the trio, with Mathys Tel and Mikey Moore out wide. Richarlison leads the line.
Tottenham XI: Kinsky; Gray, Senesi, Van Hecke, Robertson; Tonali, Gallagher; Moore, Bergvall, Tel; Richarlison
Subs: Austin, Takai, Donley, Hall, Hardy, Elliott-Parris, Byrne, Adewole
