Under Harry Redknapp's management, they recorded a fourth place Premier League finish last term, earning a first ever shot at UEFA Champions League football in the process.

They are expected to name first team players following their return from the World Cup, whilst this match also provides O's fans with their first chance to see the nine new signings in action at Brisbane Road.

Russell Slade's side have won their other four friendlies, including a thumping 5-0 victory over Blue Square South side St Albans City.

Spurs have just returned from their tour to the USA, where there drew with San Jose Earthquakes, beat New York Red Bulls and drew with Sporting Lisbon.

They also notched a 4-0 victory over AFC Bournemouth prior to their trip over the Atlantic, so are currently undefeated in pre-season.
