Tottenham take on QPR this afternoon
Tottenham head into the match in the capital on the back of the 5-1 win against Hearts on Wednesday evening at Tynecastle.
Postecoglou decided to blood a mix of experience and youth, especially in the second half with a number of young players catching the eye including Lucas Bergvall, Archie Gray, Mikey Moore and Will Lankshear.
A number of players who have been on international duty in recent weeks at Copa America or Euro 2024 are still yet to report back including Radu Dragusin, Guglielmo Vicario, Micky van de Ven, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Cristian Romero, Giovani Lo Celso and Rodrigo Bentancur.
QPR have already played twice in pre-season with a double-header in Girona where they beat lower league Spanish opponents FC Santa Coloma and L’Escala 2-0 and 11-0, respectively.
The match kicks off at 3pm UK time and is being broadcast live on SPURSPLAY, Tottenham’s streaming service.
