Tottenham Hotspur
Thursday evening sees us take on LASK in Austria on matchday five in UEFA Europa League Group J.
A point in Linz would be enough to secure qualification for the knockout stages in the New Year with a game to spare.
We’re currently second behind Royal Antwerp, level with them on nine points. LASK are three points behind on six, but our 3-0 home win against them earlier in the season would mean they couldn’t finish above us on the head-to-head rule if we were to either draw or win on Thursday.
Here’s all the key information you need to know ahead of the game, which kicks-off at 5.55pm UK (6.55pm local time)...
