Ange’s men begin Euro campaign
Tottenham begin their Europa League campaign as favourites in a tie against Qarabag on Thursday.
The tournament presents Spurs with a real shot at trophy success this season and they go into the competition as one of the favourites.
Match Preview
Tottenham Recent Form
Tottenham have had mixed fortunes under Ange Postecoglou this season as from six matches they have won three, lost two and drawn one.
They lost two games in a row against Newcastle and arch-rivals Arsenal in the Premier League, but bounced back with a 2-1 League Cup win over Coventry and then a 3-1 comeback victory against Brentford this past weekend.
Tottenham Injury News
Richarlison and Wilson Odobert are the only injury absentees for Spurs but it is likely Postecoglou will rotate things, especially with a Premier League showdown with Man Utd on the horizon on Sunday.
That means we’ll likely see the likes of Archie Gray, Radu Dragusin, Pape Matar Sarr, Yves Bissouma and Timo Werner given starts.

Here’s how Tottenham lined up against Brentford.
Qarabag Recent Form
In the Azerbaijan Premier League, Quarabag are top of the table after six games. Out of those six, they have won five, with the solitary loss coming in surprise fashion at home to Turan.
They were involved in the qualification stages for the Champions League but lost 5-0 on aggregate over two legs in the playoff round to Dinamo Zagreb.
Qarabag Injury News
Marko Jankovic was welcomed back from injury in their last game, but Kevin Medina won’t be involved in this one after his red card against Dinamo.
There are no fresh injury concerns from the win against Neftchi Baku.

Here’s how Qarabag lined up against Neftchi Baku.
Kochalski, Huseynov, Mustafazade, Matheus Silva, Bayramov, Cefequiliyev, Benzia, Zoubir, Patrick Andrade, Julio Romao, Juninho
Totenham – Player To Watch
With Spurs light in the centre-forward position, it is likely Dominic Solanke will have to play so he can fill his boots in a match that the team will dominate. He scored his first goal for the club at the weekend.
Qarabag – Player To Watch
In Champions League qualification rounds over the summer against Ludogorets and Lincoln Red Imps, Juninho scored an impressive six goals.
