Tottenham will be looking to maintain their 100% start to their Europa League campaign when they return to European action on Thursday evening. Dutch side AZ Alkmaar are their opponents this week, with the game taking place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
AZ don't come into the game in the best of form having lost four on the bounce in all competitions but, crucially, they are already off the mark in the Europa League. The Eredivisie side were victorious in their first league phase fixture after securing a 3-2 win over IF Elfsborg at home.
All eyes will be on Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham XI to take on AZ after so far making a number of changes in their European fixtures. The Australian hasn't completely changed his full XI just yet, instead opting to make six changes for the Qarabag fixture and seven for the away tie at Ferencvaros.
So what alterations could he consider this time? football.london takes a look below.
It would be a surprise to see Fraser Forster come in for a rare start in goal as Postecoglou has so far preferred to keep Guglielmo Vicario between the sticks rather than rest the Italian. That may well be the case again, meaning Forster's opportunity could come in the final couple of league phase games if Spurs have qualified for the next stage of the competition by then.
In defence, Postecoglou will have Radu Dragusin available once again after the Romanian served his one-match ban following his sending off early on in the win over Qarabag and he will likely start. The head coach has so far always started one of first-choice duo Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven in Europe and that decision will probably be repeated on Thursday evening.
Postecoglou then has a decision to make over his full-backs as it could be the ideal time to give Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie a breather with a Carabao Cup tie against Man City coming up next Wednesday. Archie Gray looks a certainty to come into the side and Ben Davies, who has been absent from the matchday squad in recent weeks, will be hoping to get the nod at left-back if not utilised at centre-back.
Tottenham have a wealth of options in midfield at present and Postecoglou has always changed his midfield three in Europe. As Yves Bissouma started in Saturday's win over West Ham, Rodrigo Bentancur will more than likely start his first Europa League game this season.
Pape Matar Sarr, fresh from a very good cameo appearance against the Hammers, is another who would benefit from a start and the same goes for Lucas Bergvall. The likes of Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison and Bissouma will be options from the bench if required.
Things do then get slightly trickier in attack as the boss may want to keep one of Brennan Johnson or Son Heung-min in the front three. That could then have a big impact on whether Mikey Moore starts his second consecutive European game for the Lilywhites.
Timo Werner looks to be low on confidence in front of goal right now and a start for the German would be beneficial due to the options ahead of him at present. Richarlison is another player who would profit from a start after making his comeback from injury last weekend.
As Postecoglou may not want to push the Brazilian too much right now just in case he suffers a reoccurrence of his previous injury, he could possibly play the first 60-70 minutes and be replaced late on in the contest.
