Tottenham Hotspur will take on La Liga side Getafe today in a preseason friendly at Hotspur Way.

Roberto De Zerbi's side is already showing signs of a turnaround after a disastrous last season, when they avoided relegation by just two points.

The North London club has won all of its friendlies so far, beating MK Dons, Auckland FC, Sydney FC and Chelsea.

Spurs pulled off a late 2-1 win against their London rivals despite playing most of the second half with 10 men with Richarlison's 92nd-minute goal helping them secure their fourth preseason win.

Meanwhile, Jose Bordalas has led his squad to two wins, one draw and one loss in their friendlies so far.Their unbeaten run of three matches came to an end when Atletico Madrid beat them 4-1 last week.
