[LIVESTREAM TV#] Tottenham - Shakhtar Donetsk live free 6 August 2023

Sorry folks, the Tottenham vs. Shakhtar friendly is on

As conflict continues to rage in Eastern Europe, Shakhtar were left powerless to a FIFA ruling allowing Solomon - who enjoyed a brief period of success during a loan spell with Fulham last season - to suspend his contract and leave on a free transfer to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Seething Shakhtar CEO Sergei Palkin memorably threatened Tottenham with legal action should they bring Solomon back to the Premier League, but any tense exchanges over transfers should not dampen the occasion this weekend, as the visitors boost the coffers of their charitable foundation 'Shakhtar Social' to help those affected by the devastating war.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Shakhtar Donetsk

Tottenham vs Shakhtar Donetsk - Pre-season friendly: TV channel, team news, lineups & predictionTottenham host Shakhtar Donetsk on Sunday for their penultimate pre-season friendly in a match dedicated to the people of Ukraine. Spurs have faced West Ham and Lion City Sailors so far this summer with only a week remaining before the 2023/24 Premier League campaign gets underway. Ange Postecoglou will lead his side out at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the first time since replacing Antonio Conte as the new permanent manager.

As a result, another Champions League group-stage spot awaits after Shakhtar bowed out at the first hurdle in last year's competition - but not without a 4-1 thumping of RB Leipzig to their name - and Patrick van Leeuwen's side have already taken four points from their opening two Ukrainian Premier League fixtures this season. Tottenham and Shakhtar will be renewing hostilities 14 years on from their inaugural meeting in the 2008-09 UEFA Cup last 16, where the Ukrainian giants stormed to a 2-0 win in the first leg, and a 1-1 home draw seven days later was not enough to save Spurs' European bacon.

The fixture will raise money for Shakhtar's charitable arm in support of the humanitarian crisis caused by Russia's escalation of armed conflict. CountryTV channel/Live streamUnited Kingdom / InternationalSpursPlay (subscription required)Spurs fans will be crossing their fingers to see Harry Kane in action on Sunday. Tottenham's demolition job of the Singapore outfit was only their second exhibition game of the summer following their opening 3-2 defeat to West Ham United, as torrid conditions led to the late postponement of their clash with Leicester City in Thailand, and Spurs must now navigate two friendlies in the space of as many days. Following Sunday's affair, Postecoglou's side will embark on a trip to Catalonia to face Barcelona in the Joan Gamper Trophy final, before kicking off a new Premier League era away to London rivals Brentford on August 13.
