Tottenham vs Alkmaar




Tottenham is in a good position to take control of their Europa League group with a win over AZ Alkmaar on Thursday.
Spurs have won their first two games in the competition, while Alkmaar are bottom of the standings with two defeats.
A win for Tottenham would take them to nine points, six clear of Alkmaar, and leave them needing just a point from their final two games to secure qualification.
Alkmaar have to avoid defeat if they want to keep their hopes of reaching the knockout stages alive, as they are currently five points behind Anderlecht and Tottenham who are on seven points.
