Tottenham’s season hinges on their success in the Europa League and they travel to AZ Alkmaar for the first leg of the last-16.
Spurs have been dealing with a huge injury crisis in 2025 but fans will be delighted to see some familiar names back in the squad.
Alkmaar star striker Troy Parrott will be hoping to deal some damage to the club that sold him last summer, particularly after drawing a blank in the league phase game.
Should Ange Postecoglou’s men put in a performance we know they are capable of, it should be a routine night for them heading back to North London.
Read on to see how both teams line-up.
