Tottenham Hotspur face the return of Troy Parrott this week in the Europa League as AZ Alkmaar visit N17. The Lilywhites will be looking to teach their old pupil a lesson while maintaining their 100 per cent record in the League Phase so far this season.
Tottenham vs AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League
Tottenham started their Europa League campaign with wins over Qarabag and Ferencvaros, but the relentless Ange Postecoglou will want to keep that run going this week against Alkmaar.
Only the top eight in the League Phase table will achieve automatic qualification to the main Knockout Phase – which also means on fewer matches to play in the competition.
Spurs are currently third in the table, behind Lazio and Lyon only on goal difference. A win by a three-goal margin could be enough to send the Lilywhites top at the end of matchweek three.
