A new era at Tottenham officially begins this evening with a pre-season friendly against MK Dons.
After finishing 17th in successive Premier League campaigns, Spurs are looking to kick on under Roberto De Zerbi and today is the first step towards achieving that target.
Tottenham’s players who were not involved at this summer’s World Cup have been put through their paces in training at Hotspur Way for the last two weeks and now De Zerbi gets a chance to see how his team is shaping up.
Summer signings Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali are expected to play some part against MK Dons, though supporters may have to wait for a first glimpse of Andy Robertson in a Spurs shirt having had just one training session since joining on a free transfer.
Xavi Simons, Wilson Odobert, Dejan Kulusevski and Mohammed Kudus are all absent through injury, but the likes of Mikey Moore and Jamie Donley are set to be handed an opportunity to impress De Zerbi.
MK Dons, meanwhile, are gearing up for a season in League One following their promotion and are hopeful of an improvement from last Friday’s 2-1 loss to NK Istra in their first pre-season friendly of the summer.
This will be the third friendly meeting between Spurs and MK Dons - the first in five years - and both sides have one win apiece.
