Latest Reading vs Tottenham football review
The number "17" has had mixed meanings for Tottenham in the 2024–25 season: the team finished 17th in the Premier League – their worst ever finish in the competition – but ended a 17-year trophy drought with an emotional Europa League triumph under manager Ange Postecoglou.
The former treble-winning manager with Celtic kept his promise of silverware in his second season, helping Spurs beat Manchester United 1-0 in the Europa League final to secure Champions League qualification and their first trophy since the 2008 League Cup (thanks to an excellent performance from Jonathan Woodgate).
However, Chairman Daniel Levy could not continue to put his faith in the coach who led the team to the worst season in Premier League history. With an ambitious declaration of conquering the Premier League and Champions League, the Spurs board decided to choose coach Frank - a polite and decisive Scandinavian strategist - to lead the new journey.
Frank has brought many trusted associates to Hotspur Way, and welcomed the second most expensive signing in the club's history - Mohammed Kudus - and two highly rated young central defenders: Luka Vuskovic and Kota Takai.
Tottenham will have five pre-season friendlies against Luton Town, Arsenal, Newcastle and Bayern Munich, before competing in the European Super Cup against Paris Saint-Germain on August 13.
Meanwhile, Reading are getting used to life under a new club regime. Redwood Holdings Limited completed its takeover of the club at the end of last season, ending a period of uncertainty under Dai Yongge's ownership.
Under the combination of Ruben Selles and current manager Noel Hunt, Reading racked up 75 points – just three points behind sixth-placed Leyton Orient – and narrowly missed out on reaching the League One play-offs.
The Royals have started the summer in great spirit with three unbeaten friendlies: beating Hungerford Town 5-1, drawing Gillingham 0-0 and most recently beating Swindon Town 2-1.
After the Spurs game this weekend, Reading will continue their preparations for the new season with friendlies against Slough Town and Portsmouth. The last time the two sides met in a competitive match on New Year’s Day 2013, Tottenham won 3-1, with current Reading manager Noel Hunt coming on as a second-half substitute.
