With the end of the international break, plenty of Spurs players out on loan will be back in action this weekend. Of course, some have been able to play for their clubs anyway, such as George Abbott and Matthew Craig.

Spurs England U20 duo Dane Scarlett and Ashley Phillips will showdown with each other, as Oxford United welcomes Stoke City to the Kassam Stadium on Saturday. Kick-off is 12:30 BST, 07:30 ET.

On the continent, Bryan Gil's Girona side faces a tricky home game against high-flying FC Barcelona, who are the only team in La Liga to win all four games so far this season. In fact, everyone else has dropped points at least twice, whilst the Catalan giants remain 4/4. In any case, the game is on Sunday - kick off at 15:15 BST, 10:15 ET.

Elsewhere in La Liga, Alejo Veliz and his Espanyol side will face Deportivo Alaves at home, as they look to build on their dramatic late win last time out. The game is on Saturday - 15:15 BST, 10:15 ET.

Across Europe, Luka Vuskovic, Alfie Devine, and their KVC Westerlo side face a tough test against second-placed Anderlecht on Saturday. Devine could be in line to make his debut for Westerlo, having joined the club on a season-long loan last week. Spurs had rejected multiple offers for the midfielder earlier in the window, seeing Westerlo as the best move for his development. Kick-off is 19:45 BST, 14:45 ET.

Back to the football league - Jamie Donley and Josh Keeley's Leyton Orient side are back in action, with their game against Peterborough United last week being postponed from international call-ups. They travel to Reading, as they look to get their first points off the season. Keeley could be in line to make his debut for the O's, having played twice for the Republic of Ireland U21s over the break. This game is on Saturday, kick-off at 15:00 BST, 10:00 ET.

Matthew Craig and his Barnsley side are looking to build on their good form as they travel to Stevenage on Saturday. Craig could be in direct competition with former Spurs academy midfielder Harvey White in the Boro midfield. Kick-off is 15:00 BST, 10:00 ET.

Into League Two, as George Abbott will be looking to build on an impressive performance against Accrington Stanley last week, as his Notts County side travel to newly promoted Bromley. With Doncaster Rovers dropping points to Harrogate Town on Thursday evening, there is a chance for Notts County to finish the gameweek top of the league with a win. The game is on Saturday - kick off at 15:00 BST, 10:00 ET.
