Tottenham Hotspur have just made a surprising announcement, revealing that they will be playing two different pre-season friendlies this Saturday.<\/p>\n

New arrivals, Mohammed Kudus and Luka Vuskovic, impressed against Reading last week<\/a> in Tottenham\u2019s first pre-season game of the season, with the Lilywhites emerging 2-0 winners.<\/p>\n

Spurs<\/a> played a 4-2-3-1 formation in both halves, and it was already evident that Frank<\/a> and his coaching staff had started putting their tactical imprint on the side.<\/p>\n

The Lilywhites defended in a mid-block and looked far more solid at the back, and the supporters will be eagerly waiting to learn more about the team\u2019s new patterns of play against Luton Town this Saturday.<\/p>\n

Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> were due to take on Championship side Luton Town at Kenilworth Road\u00a0at 3 pm on Saturday as they step up preparations for the season.<\/p>\n

In a rather surprising move, Spurs have now announced on their official website<\/a> that they will take on League One side Wycombe Wanderers on the same day.<\/p>\n

The Lilywhites will be playing Wycombe at 11 am, with the game set to be played behind closed doors at Hotspur Way<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is not something that we usually see clubs do during pre-season, and it shows that Frank and his coaching staff are keen to get more minutes into the legs of all the members of the squad.<\/p>\n

Several Tottenham stars were also in action on Tuesday<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Jamie Donley<\/a> and Will Lanskhear<\/a>, who both got minutes against Reading last Saturday, also featured for Tottenham\u2019s Under-21 side in their friendly against Leyton Orient on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Yang Min-hyeok<\/a> and Dane Scarlett also got minutes in Brisbane Road as the O\u2019s emerged 3-1 winners.<\/p>\n

The side did not include the likes of Ashley Phillips, Jamie Donley, Kota Takai, Mikey Moore<\/a> or Luka Vuskovic, and it will be interesting to see which of those players stay back at Hotspur Way to play Wycombe and who makes the trip to Luton.<\/p>\n
