Tottenham go into tonight’s Europa League clash in Alkmaar knowing the competition is their last chance of claiming silverware this season.
It has been a difficult second year in North London for boss Ange Postecoglou, whose squad has been riddled with injuries.
And they won’t find it easy against an AZ side who put out Galatasaray in the playoff round.
Both teams come in on the back of a defeat. Spurs lost 1-0 to Manchester City last time out while AZ were beaten 3-1 at Heerenveen.
