Tottenham continue their pre-season campaign on Friday morning when they take on Spanish side Atletico Madrid in Melbourne, as part of the International Champions Cup. The match against last season's Champions League finalists takes place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, kicking off at 11am BST.
This is Spurs' second match at Melbourne in three days, having opened their pre-season preparations with a Champions Cup defeat to Juventus on Tuesday. Erik Lamela scored a second-half consolation as a much-changed and weakened Spurs side struggled to respond to two early Juventus strikes from Paulo Dybala and Medhi Benatia.
Mauricio Pochettino's side are using the matches against some of Europe's stellar names as prepataion for their return to the Champions League in September. Atletico beat Numancia 2-0 in their opening pre-season match last week.
