Appreciate the preview
Tottenham will want to bring his sad Premier League shape back into the back of the head by wanting to secure the safe passage to the Europa League on Thursday evening.
Spurs show the hanging form that lost six and played one of their last seven Premier League games, but are in a much healthier position in Europe, with a victory against Elfsborg, a place in the top night of the overall ranking is guaranteed.
However, slip against the Swedish side at home and it could open the door so that one of your challengers can sneak up to the automatic spots.
The North Londoners defeated Hoffenheim 3-2 in Germany last week and took their record on four wins, two draws and one defeat so far.
Meanwhile, Elfsborg can integrate a knockout round if you are currently sitting on 10 points, two at the top 24 locations.
Team messages
Tottenham’s lengthy injury list continues to grow and includes Guglielmo Vicario, Dominic Solanke, Brennan Johnson, Destiny Udogie, Timo Werner and Wilson Odobert, all of whom are not available for selection.
Richarlison was forced to defeat Leicester with a groin problem and is rated together with Pape Matar Sarr James Maddison and Djed Spence before the start.
Spurs received some urgently needed positive news when Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero took part in the training of the first team this week, although it remains to be seen whether they can be involved.
January, who signed Antonin Kinsky, is not justified for the collision on Thursday, so that Brandon Austin will deactivate between the sticks.
Elfsborg has received a clean state of health and should start a similar XI as in her impressive victory over Nice last week.
