Vissel Kobe are Tottenham's opponents on Saturday as Ange Postecoglou's side play their third pre-season game. Starting off with victories over Hearts and QPR, J.League side Vissel Kobe are now on the agenda after Spurs made the trip to Japan at the beginning of the week.
Whereas both Hearts and QPR are perhaps a week or two ahead of Tottenham in terms of their summer preparations with their league campaigns starting before the Premier League, the Lilywhites will now be coming up against a team who are over halfway through the J.League season. It will be a big test for the north London club but one Postecoglou will be hoping to take a number of positives from.
So what exactly can Tottenham fans look forward to in the game at Tokyo's National Stadium? football.london takes a look below.
Moore and youngsters take chance
Tottenham's talented youngsters could be handed more playing time against Vissel Kobe in Tokyo on Saturday. Spurs' young guns have made a real impression in the first two friendlies, most notably 16-year-old Mikey Moore who supporters are desperate to see more of in the first team.
Fresh from scoring in the 5-1 win at Hearts, the academy ace then got an assist to his name as Dane Scarlett converted his low cross at QPR. Will Lankshear will also be looking to make a big impact after his recent goal at Hearts as he was once again picked ahead of Scarlett and Alejo Veliz at Loftus Road.
Alfie Devine impressed on the club's summer tour 12 months ago and he has done likewise this time around. Maybe becoming a bit of a forgotten figure due the amount of talent coming through the academy at present, the attacking midfielder has reminded everyone what he is about this summer and he could well go on to play a starring role against Vissel Kobe.
Having 29 players to select from for this weekend's match as Destiny Udogie and Richarlison are not ready to feature just yet, some players will very likely not play at all or either get a small amount of minutes in the tank. For that reason, it's imperative that Spurs' youngsters take their opportunity if it comes their way.
Son and strikers after goals
Son Heung-min will be determined to get off the mark in pre-season after so far drawing a blank in the Hearts and QPR games. The South Korean has led the line due to a lack of available striker options at present but things just haven't quite gone his way in front of goal.
Veliz is someone else who desperately needs a goal following his return to Tottenham this summer. The Argentine is working hard for the team but is just lacking the goal that could give him a confidence boost, especially with fellow strikers Scarlett and Lankshear scoring recently.
Scarlett really did need his goal against QPR last Saturday and that could possibly work in his favour going into the Vissel Kobe encounter as he bids to make a big impression on Postecoglou this summer. Opportunities on goal will be there but they just need taking.
Spence continuing to excel
Djed Spence's Tottenham future appeared to be in serious doubt after spending the past 18 months away from the club on loan. Given a chance in the Hearts friendly, the right-back took it with both hands and registered a goal and an assist in a dazzling cameo.
The ex-Nottingham Forest loanee followed it up with another strong showing at QPR and it has opened the door to a potential place in Postecoglou's plans going forward. All Spence can do right now is continue to shine when given the chance by the head coach and that could possibly see him remain at the club beyond August.
In Friday's open training session at the National Stadium in Tokyo, the 23-year-old was going through some individual work with senior assistant coach Matt Wells at a time when others were practising free-kicks or shooting.
Spence was being put through his paces with an emphasis on trying to deal with Wells running alongside him as a winger, with the right-back then having to work on his body shape in order to prevent the Spurs coach from getting a cross away or moving past him. The Tottenham ace looks to be in a good position to get some more minutes in the tank.
Davies' fitness
Udogie and Richarlison will play no part for Tottenham this weekend as they aren't quite ready to feature just yet but there is a chance Ben Davies returns to the pitch. Not involved since April's defeat to Arsenal due to a calf issue, the Welshman has trained with the squad this week and that could now result in his first appearance of the pre-season campaign.
If indeed he does play, it will certainly give everyone a good idea of where exactly he is in regards to his current fitness levels. The return of Davies will certainly give Postecoglou options as he could either be utilised at the heart of defence due to the lack of numbers there at present or either be played in his natural role at left-back.
Bergvall to make up for lost time
Lucas Bergvall will hopefully be able to make up for lost time after his outing in last weekend's QPR friendly was cut short due to injury. The Swede made a confident start to proceedings but unfortunately made way after 24 minutes and looked gutted when leaving the field.
Involved in training this week, Bergvall looks a certainty to feature against Vissel Kobe and Postecoglou has a decision to make over whether he starts the youngster or introduces him off the bench. Only playing 70 minutes worth of pre-season action so far and not playing on the pitch with all of his Tottenham teammates just yet, giving the midfielder playing time is vital as he looks to develop a good understanding with the rest of the squad.
Having impressed in pre-season so far and with his influence on the game continuing to grow with the more minutes he plays, the ex-Djurgarden man could be a key figure for Tottenham once again this weekend.
