Which team takes this one? let's find out!
Match Preview
As rumors swirled that Spurs manager Postecoglou was being considered for the role of England manager, the 58-year-old appeared to be catching up on some rest before Tottenham's match against Hearts. However, the team's outstanding performance in the game should have captivated viewers, rather than put them to sleep.
Tottenham and QPR, long-standing rivals, last faced off in a competitive match in March 2015. The Lilywhites emerged victorious with a 2-0 away win, thanks to a brace from Kane. Prior to this, in 2012, Adel Taarabt led QPR to a memorable win over Spurs.
