Tottenham Hotspur are set to come up against a familiar face on Sunday afternoon as they take on Ipswich Town in the Premier League.

Despite a rocky start to the season, Spurs could remarkably climb into third place with a win and other results going in their favour.

Ange Postecoglou’s team host the only Premier League club without a win this season and they must take full advantage of Ipswich’s struggles.

Tottenham will need to put behind them the disappointment of losing to Galatasaray during midweek, however, one of their former players will be out to cause them another upset.

Jack Clarke returns to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Jack Clarke returns to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday just over two years after he departed the North London club. The winger left Spurs permanently in the summer of 2022 to join Sunderland for a minimal fee after struggling to establish himself in N17.

The 23-year-old signed for the Lilywhites from Leeds United in a deal worth around £10 million after showing a huge amount of promise in the Championship. He signed during the same window as Tanguy Ndombele, Giovani Lo Celso and Ryan Sessegnon.

During his three years at Tottenham, he made just four appearances for the senior team and was sent out on loan to QPR, Stoke and Sunderland. Clarke found his feet at the Stadium of Light and the Black Cats snatched him up.

He has now worked his way back into the Premier League with Ipswich Town after the top flight’s new boys paid £15 million to sign him from Sunderland.

How is Jack Clarke doing at Ipswich?

It’s been a slow start to life at Portman Road for Clarke who has struggled to establish himself as a starter under Kieran McKenna.

He’s made just four starts across all competitions for the Tractor Boys and has just one goal contribution which was an assist against Aston Villa.

The winger is likely going to start on the bench upon his return to North London, although he will be eager to come on and prove his former club wrong.
