Leyton Orient vs Tottenham prediction, preview, team news and more | Club Friendlies 2021
Leyton Orient take on Tottenham at the Breyer Group Stadium on Saturday for a pre-season friendly fixture.
This will be Tottenham's first pre-season friendly prior to the commencement of the 2021-22 Premier League season.
Leyton Orient will be going into the game in high spirits. Jobi McAnuff's side held West Ham to a 0-0 draw earlier this week and will be hoping for another positive result against Tottenham on Saturday.
This will be Nuno Espirito Santo's first game in charge of Tottenham and the Portuguese tactician will hope to have his side playing the way he wants them to as they warm up for the 2021-22 season.
With Tottenham beginning their pre-season campaign on Saturday, the game against Leyton Orient is sure to be a scrappy one.
