Tottenham vs AZ Alkmaar – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur host AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League on Thursday night, aiming to maintain their perfect start to the league phase.

Spurs have taken maximum points from clashes with Qarabag and Ferencvárosi but next face a step up against the Eredivisie outfit.

The North Londoners thrashed West Ham 4-1 at the weekend in a boost to Ange Postecoglou, who was left dismayed at defeat at Brighton before the international break.

Spurs blew a two-goal lead to lose at the Amex Stadium, though recovered last time out to extend their record to six wins in seven games across all competitions.

Troy Parrott will make his first return to Spurs since leaving the club in the summer. The Republic of Ireland international joined AZ in a £6.7m deal in July.

He has scored five goals in 10 appearances across all competitions – four of which came in one game against Heerenveen last month. Parrott will be determined to make an impression against the side where he progressed through the ranks.

AZ arrive in poor form, however, having lost their last four games in all competitions.
