Everything you need to know about Tottenham vs Luton Town and Wycombe Wanderers
In an unusual pre-season twist, Tottenham will play two friendlies on Saturday. They first face Wycombe Wanderers at Hotspur Way before taking on Luton Town at Kenilworth Road later that same afternoon.
It’s not often you’re asked to write a match preview for a single pre-season game, only to be informed halfway through that Tottenham Hotspur are playing two fixtures on the same day.
As strange as it may sound, the decision makes a fair bit of sense when you consider that Thomas Frank will soon have to assess his options, deciding who stays, who goes, and who gets shipped off on loan.
And what better way to do that than by splitting the squad across two friendlies in one day? Frank will likely send out a youthful side to face Wycombe in the morning, then turn to his senior players for the afternoon clash against Luton.
Either way, Spurs fans won’t complain about getting to watch their team play twice the same day.
Tottenham kicked off their pre-season campaign last weekend with a 2-0 win over Reading under new boss Thomas Frank. The opener was set up by 18-year-old Luka Vuskovic before the youngster scored one himself. New signing Mohammed Kudus also impressed after being involved in both goals.
As for Saturday’s first opponents, Wycombe Wanderers will be playing their first match since mid-May. They haven’t won a game since April and missed out on promotion after losing their play-off semi-final 1-0 on aggregate. A late goal in the second leg ended their Championship hopes.
Meanwhile, Luton Town are enduring a steep decline. Having played Premier League football just two seasons ago, back-to-back relegations have seen them tumble into League One. Their final day heartbreak came courtesy of a 5-3 loss to West Brom, sending them down on goal difference.

Spurs vs Wycombe and Luton Town: Head-to-head record
Tottenham and Luton faced off twice in the 2023/24 Premier League season. Spurs came from behind with ten men to win 2-1 at home before securing a 1-0 win at Kenilworth Road.
As for Wycombe, Spurs last faced them in the 2021 FA Cup, winning 4-1. But fans will fondly remember the dramatic 4-3 win in 2017, when a last-minute goal sealed a sensational comeback win at White Hart Lane.
Tottenham team news
As mentioned earlier, it’s expected that the Wycombe clash will feature more academy and fringe players while the Luton game will involve senior names and potential starters for the coming season.
Injury-wise, James Maddison, Radu Dragusin, and Dejan Kulusevski are likely to remain sidelined after missing the Reading match.
Manor Solomon and Bryan Gil also didn’t feature due to fitness concerns. Their availability will be clarified in Frank’s pre-match press conference.
Richarlison, Mathys Tel, Kota Takai, Wilson Odobert, and Archie Gray didn’t play last time either, but their omissions weren’t injury-related, and they’re expected to feature on Saturday.
Predicted Tottenham line-ups
vs Wycombe Wanderers (Expected XI):
Antonin Kinsky; Pedro Porro, Luka Vuskovic, Kevin Danso, Ben Davies; Lucas Bergvall, Yves Bissouma, Pape Matar Sarr; Mikey Moore, Dominic Solanke, Brennan Johnson.
In terms of youngsters off the bench, Jamie Donley and Will Lankshear, who both featured against Reading, also played in the U21 friendly against Leyton Orient on Tuesday. Additionally, Yang Min-hyeok and Dane Scarlett were also involved as Spurs lost 3-1 at Brisbane Road.
Predicted score vs Wycombe: Tottenham 4-0 Wycombe Wanderers
vs Luton Town (Expected XI):
Guglielmo Vicario; Djed Spence, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Destiny Udogie; Archie Gray, Rodrigo Bentancur, Jamie Donley; Heung-min Son, Mathys Tel, Mohammed Kudus.
Don’t expect Frank to swap out all eleven players like he did against Reading. He’ll want to test different combinations and judge fitness levels more effectively; 45 minutes is too small a sample for that.
The Luton game should be a bit more competitive, with Spurs facing a side that, while struggling in recent years, still retains a Championship-level physicality.
Keep an eye on Archie Gray, who is expected to feature and could very well turn out to be the number 6 Frank has been looking for.
Predicted score vs Luton: Tottenham 3-0 Luton Town
