Vissel Kobe will host Tottenham in a pre-season friendly at the Japan National Stadium on Saturday.
Tottenham have won their first two pre-season friendlies, against Hearts and QPR before they embarked on a trip to Asia for the second leg. Ange Postecoglou will be hoping to get the squad in shape in time for the new season as the fans' expectations will be high.
Vissel Kobe are fourth in the J League at the moment and are unbeaten in their last six matches. They should be in much better shape heading into the game and will test the Premier League side's fitness.
