Tottenham vs Shakhtar Donetsk: Friendly prediction, kick-off time, team news, TV, live stream, h2h today
For the first time, new manager Ange Postecoglou will oversee a game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after a mixed time of things thus far.
While there have been some promising signs under the Australian, the Harry Kane saga continues to drag on and there are still major holes in the squad.
