The Premier League season is getting closer and with that the stakes are beginning to rise in pre-season.
As the days tick by, clubs are looking to make decisions on who features in their plans and who will be fit for that crucial opening weekend of the new season.
For Tottenham, preparations are going smoothly with Tanguy Ndombele and Jack Clarke having joined the club already.
There's expected to be more signings on the way but Mauricio Pochettino will be more than happy with the squad he has at his disposal going into the final few pre-season games.
Next up for Spurs is a clash with Premier League rivals Manchester United.
While it's only an International Champions Cup clash, it's a game that's bound to have a bit of an edge with both sides likely to be competing with each other for a place in the Premier League top four.
While both sides will no doubt be looking to field a strong side, United will have to play without Romelu Lukaku.
The striker, who has been linked with a move to Inter Milan, has been suffering with a knock that he picked up in training and according to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the 26-year-old will not be ready to feature against the north London side.
Speaking to the press ahead of the clash , he said: "Lukaku won't be fit, no.
"He has been working with a physio the last few days so I don't think he will make this one, no.
"He got injured in training. It is not too bad, if it was worse we would have sent him home."
Solskjaer added: "It's never nice to be player who misses out on fitness and team building work, he will just have to make up later on."
