Tottenham continued their pre-season preparations with a 2-0 victory over QPR at Loftus Road.

Ange Postecoglou named a strong side against the Championship outfit following their 5-1 victory away at Heats earlier this week. Heung-min Son, Pedro Porro, Timo Werner and Yves Bissouma were all among the starters in west London, though were made to work for their victory.

New arrivals Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall started again too but Postecoglou was dealt a blow in regards to the former, with the midfielder forced off during the first-half.

It wasn’t until five minutes before the break where Spurs found their breakthrough, Bissouma playing a lovely one-two with Dejan Kulusevski before rounding the goalkeeper in confident fashion. Until that point, the hosts had looked very dangerous on the break.

QPR looked most likely in the second-half too amid a host of Spurs changes but Dane Scarlett ultimately tapped in a late second minutes after coming on.

Ange Postecoglou said he was impressed by a “really good” debut from Tottenham’s new signing Archie Gray in Wednesday night’s 5-1 win at Hearts.

Tottenham team news vs QPR today

12:30 , Jonathan Gorrie

Postecoglou named a strong Spurs lineup against Hearts, with only Cristian Romero, Giovani Lo Celso, Micky van de Ven and Radu Dragusin unavailable after playing for their countries over the summer.

Archie Gray and Ollie Skipp were the starting centre-back partnership and are likely to feature again, while teenagers Mikey Moore and Will Lankshear both came off the bench to score and will hope for more involvement.

Timo Werner played alongside many of the youngsters in the second-half lineup, but could replace Manor Solomon in the starting XI and start on the left against Hearts.
