There are plenty of Spurs loanees in action this weekend, starting with Alfie Devine and Luka Vuskovic's KVC Westerlo side, who have a game against Beerschot on Friday night - with a 19:45 BST kick-off. Westerlo got their first win in six outings last time out, with both Vuskovic and Devine playing a big role.

On Saturday, Dane Scarlett will face one of his former loan sides, Oxford United, as they travel to Portsmouth in one of the early kick-off slots, 12:30 BST kick-off. Oxford could go one point off the play-offs with a win. Meanwhile, Ashley Phillips and Stoke will cross the border to play Swansea City at 15:00 BST, off the back of a 6-1 win in midweek. Stoke can rise to 9th with a victory.

In League One, there is an all-Yorkshire affair, as Matthew Craig and Barnsley take on Huddersfield Town in another early game, with a 12:30 BST kick-off. Huddersfield lost their previous four games, while Barnsley could go second with three points here. At 15:00 BST, Josh Keeley and Jamie Donley's Leyton Orient play away to Lincoln City. Orient remains just one point above the bottom four, with one game more played.

In League Two, George Abbott and Notts County face Port Vale at home, with a 15:00 BST kick off. Notts could go top of the league with a win.

On the continent, Alejo Veliz and RCD Espanyol host Mallorca, with a 13:00 BST kick-off. Bryan Gil and Girona will play Athletic Club on Sunday, also a 13:00 BST kick-off after both sides played in Europe this week. Espanyol could sink into the bottom three with a defeat, whilst Girona could rise to 8th with a victory in this one.

Due to the forthcoming international break, these will be the final league games for every loanee, other than George Abbott, until the 19th of October.
