Eriksen expecting tough test as Tottenham get set for MLS All-Stars

Tottenham star Christian Eriksen is ready for a tough encounter when his side takes on the MLS All-Stars in a friendly in Denver on Wednesday night.

The match at Dick's Sporting Goods Park is Spurs' second last pre-season match before the new Premier League season kicks off, with Danish midfielder Eriksen citing the quality of the clash as important given the fast approaching season opener against Manchester United on August 8.

"It's a really nice game to play tomorrow with some big players who have played in all of the big leagues," said Eriksen.

"So of course it will be a tough test tomorrow, but there's only two weeks to go before the season starts."

Spurs will be up against former Real Madrid and AC Milan star Kaka, ex-Barcelona striker David Villa and Premier League legends Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard.
