Spurs’ Under 21 side will play their first friendly game of pre-season on Tuesday evening (the game starts at 19:30pm) when they face local non-League side Enfield Town. Spurs’ Development side have often played the Isthmian League Premier Division side in recent pre-seasons, and the friendly which takes place at Enfield Town’s Queen Elizabeth II Stadium, always provides a good test for Wayne Burnett’s Spurs side at this stage of pre-season. Enfield Town faced QPR’s Development side at the weekend, with that game finishing 1-0 to QPR. This annual pre-season fixture always provides the Spurs Development side with a good pre-season test, as they look to build-up their match fitness for the beginning of the new Premier League 2 season. Some of the Spurs Development side players missed the end of last season (2022/23), because of injury. Players such as Tyrell Ashcroft, Will Lankshear and Jude Soonsup-Bell, all missed the end of last season because of injury, so it will be interesting to see whether they all return for the Enfield Town friendly, tomorrow. This will be a physical first test of pre-season, with many of the Enfield Town players having a lot of experience of playing senior football. I’m looking forward to the game tomorrow. It’s the start of a long season for the Spurs Under 21 side, but hopefully it will be a good one for the team.

I wish the Spurs team all the best for the friendly match with Enfield Town, and I will be doing the first of my many match reports after the game tomorrow.

My predicted lineup: (4-2-3-1) Maguire, Paskotši, Dorrington, Lyons-Foster (c), Linton, Cassanova, John, McKnight, Robson, Santiago, Soonsup-Bell.

Substitutes from: Gunter, Andiyapan, Sayers, Ashcroft, Heaps, Hall, Ajayi, Williams.

Injured/unavailable: N/A.

Doubtful: N/A.

Previous meeting: Spurs 2-3.

My score prediction: Spurs 3-0.

My one to watch: Lewis Taaffe. The experienced and versatile 31 year old Enfield Town player is someone that the Spurs players will have to be aware of on Tuesday. Lewis Taaffe has an eye for goal and his experience in the game will makes him one of the Enfield players to watch on Tuesday evening, for the friendly match with Spurs’ Under 21 side.
