Spurs loan watch: Weekend Preview
By Tom Vinall
This weekend, Spurs showdown at home to Ipswich Town in the final game before the November international break. Before that, however, there are plenty of loanees in action for their respective sides. Let's see who is in action.
To begin, there is Championship action tonight for Dane Scarlett and Oxford United tonight, as they face Watford away from home in the Championship, in front of the Sky Sports cameras. The U’s are still winless on the road this season, so this comes as an almighty tough game. Kick off is 20:00 GMT. If they can pull off an impressive win, they will rise to 9th in the table.
In one of the Saturday Lunchtime games, Ashley Phillips and Stoke City are in action at home to Millwall, as they look to bounce on their win over Blackburn Rovers in midweek. 12:30 GMT kick off for that one. If they can do that, they could rise as high as 8th in the table.
Into League One, here is more Friday night action. Matthew Craig and Barnsley have a South Yorkshire derby at home to Rotherham United, which is also in front of the Sky Sports cameras. Kick off is 19:15 GMT. On Saturday, Josh Keeley, Jamie Donley, and Leyton Orient, are at home to Blackpool, with a 15:00 GMT kick off.
In League Two, there is a huge game for George Abbott and Notts County on Saturday, as they travel to Doncaster Rovers. Going into the game, Notts are in third place, with 26 points from 14 games, whilst Doncaster are in fourth place, with 25 points from 14 games. Notts could go into second place with a victory here. Kick off is 15:00 GMT.
Onto the continent, where there is Saturday night football for Luka Vuskovic, Alfie Devine, and KVS Westerlo, as they travel to RC Sporting Charleroi in the Belgian Pro League. Westerlo could go up to fifth with three points here. Kick off is 19:45 GMT.
Into Spain, where Espanyol’s game at home to Valencia has been postponed, as a result of the fatal floods in Valencia recently. Whilst the game is away, the players and everybody else involved are just not ready to play a game this soon. There is a game for Girona, as they make the long trip to Madrid to face Getafe on Sunday, with a 17:30 GMT kick off.
For everyone except George Abbott and Matthew Craig, this will be the last league game until after the international break.
