Tottenham Hotspur are back on Europa League duty this week, and it’ll be a considerably more difficult proposition this time around with AZ Alkmaar the opponents. Here’s how to watch the game, who’ll be in the team, and what we think the score will be.
Spurs are currently flying in the Europa League with two wins from two games, though neither the Qarabag nor the Ferencvaros fixtures were as simple as Tottenham fans had expected.
AZ Alkmaar will likely present an even sterner test, with the Dutch side playing at a higher level and possessing some players that can do damage to even the best teams in the competition.
Here are all the details for the upcoming game, including when it takes place, any injury issues, and where the game will be broadcast.
You’ll be able to watch the Spurs vs AZ Alkmaar game on TNT Sports via a Discovery+ subscription.
Coverage starts at 19:45 and runs right through to 22:30, with pre-match build-up and post-match analysis as always.
Tottenham are at home for this fixture, which is set to take place on Thursday, October 24.
Kick-off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is scheduled for 20:00 on Thursday.
As things stand, the only player potentially missing for the Europa League game is Wilson Odobert.
The Tottenham injury list improved massively last week with the return of both Heung-min Son and Richarlison, who had both been on the sidelines for weeks.
Odobert is close to a full recovery from the hamstring issue that has kept him out of action for over a month, but the AZ Alkmaar game may come just too soon for the young Frenchman.
One player to look out for on the opposing team will be Troy Parrott. The former Spurs striker joined Alkmaar this summer, and has made a great start to life with the Dutch club, with six goals to his name this season already.
There is no easy game in this competition, and Alkmaar should make life even more difficult for Spurs than their previous two opponents. But, with the home crowd behind them, there’s no doubt that the Tottenham team should be strong enough to get another win. I’ll go for a 2-1 victory for Spurs.
