Tottenham team confirmed vs Reading: Harvey White and Steven Bergwijn start, Serge Aurier sub

Jose Mourinho has named his Tottenham team for this afternoon's pre-season friendly against Reading.

Starting their pre-season campaign with a comfortable victory over Ipswich Town last Saturday, the Lilywhites this time welcome the Royals to N17 as they step up their preparations for the new season.

Mourinho could take a number of positives from last weekend's 3-0 win over the Tractor Boys and he will be hoping for more of the same from his players today.

Spurs did put out quite a strong XI against Ipswich and they should be even stronger this afternoon with a number of the squad returning to the training pitch this past week.

As the Lilywhites have another home friendly against Birmingham City tomorrow afternoon, we are likely to see two different sides for both games as the players look to get some minutes in the tank.

Well, Mourinho has opted to start Harvey White following his substitute appearance last weekend against Ipswich as he partners Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in midfield.

Eric Dier and Steven Bergwijn are also back in the side after missing out last weekend.

Here is the team Mourinho has selected for today's game against Reading:

Spurs XI vs Reading: Lloris; Gedson, Alderweireld, Dier, Davies; White, Hojbjerg; Lucas, Alli, Bergwijn; Son.

Subs: Hart, Gazzaniga, Aurier, Carter-Vickers, Bowden, Clarke, Cirkin, Scarlett, Devine, Sissoko, Sessegnon, Lamela
