Tottenham Hotspur are gearing up for a busy weekend with two pre-season friendlies lined up, both against League One sides, as they continue preparations for the upcoming campaign.
The north London club will first host Wycombe Wanderers in a closed-door match at Hotspur Way on Saturday morning. Later in the day, they’ll take on Luton Town — a team that has endured consecutive relegations since their last meeting with Spurs.
The addition of the Wycombe match was a late change to Tottenham's pre-season calendar. Head coach Thomas Frank explained that the goal is to ensure as many players as possible get valuable playing time ahead of the new season.
Tottenham kicked off their pre-season with a 2-0 victory over Reading last weekend, with summer signing Mohammed Kudus impressing alongside young defender Luka Vuskovic.
Luton Town, meanwhile, have been in strong form during pre-season, winning all five of their friendly fixtures so far. Their most recent highlight was an 8-0 thrashing of Slovenian side Triglav Kranj.
Match Details: Luton vs Tottenham
Date: Saturday, July 26, 2025
Kick-off: 3:00 PM BST
Venue: Kenilworth Road
Team News
Luton will be without new signing Hakeem Odoffin, who has been sidelined following an MRI scan that uncovered a non-musculoskeletal medical issue.
Tottenham, on the other hand, will miss James Maddison, Radu Dragusin, and Dejan Kulusevski due to injuries. However, Manor Solomon, Richarlison, and new addition Kota Takai are all expected to participate in at least one of Saturday’s games.
Head coach Thomas Frank has indicated both matches will feature a blend of senior players and younger squad members, as part of his strategy to build match fitness across the team.
Prediction: Luton vs Tottenham
While the outcome may take a backseat to player conditioning and tactical experimentation, Tottenham will still be looking to build on their solid start against Reading. The quality gap between the two sides suggests that Spurs — fresh off a Europa League triumph — should have the upper hand. Nonetheless, with rotations and trialists likely, the performance holds more weight than the scoreline in this stage of pre-season.
