Tottenham know it really is make or break in their season now. The first leg of the Europa League semi-final went almost exactly to plan for Ange Postecoglou, with his side racing into an early lead against Bodo/Glimt.
Brennan Johnson's early goal put the team on the right track, with James Maddison adding a second before half-time to put them in a commanding position. Things were looking rosy after an hour when Dominic Solanke added a third from the penalty spot, but the last half-hour of the game could have gone better.
First, Maddison went down with an injury, and it looks likely to be one which rules the England international of at least the second leg of the tie. Postecoglou revealed after the game against West Ham that "it doesn't look great" on the midfielder's prognosis, which does not bode well for the rest of the season.
Then, Solanke himself went down with a problem and was subbed. He missed the game against West Ham, though things do look better for him than Maddison.
Then the opponents grabbed a foothold in the tie. A 3-1 win is impressive in any semi-final; but the late goal offers just a glimmer of hope for the Norwegian side, heading back to their home which has been a stronghold this season.
With a raft of changes made for the trip to the London Stadium, more yet are expected for the biggest game of the season so far for Spurs. But who will be starting at Aspmyra Stadion?
Defensive changes
While Guglielmo Vicario started in goal as usual, the entire backline was changed for the draw against West Ham. Out went Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Destiny Udogie; in came Archie Gray, Kevin Danso, Ben Davies and Djed Spence.
It seems likely that the changes will be reversed for the trip to Norway. Postecoglou will want his top players available to do a professional job and hold onto the two-goal advantage, and the defence who started the first leg are just that.
Midfield issue
Rodrigo Bentancur is sure to come back into the midfield in place of either Yves Bissouma or Pape Matar Sarr. After decent displays in his last two outings, Bissouma looks set to keep his place in the XI.
With the injury to Maddison, Postecoglou faces what looks a fairly simple decision on the surface. His replacement on the night was Dejan Kulusevski, who also started the game against West Ham on Sunday.
However, the Swedish star hasn't looked himself since returning from injury midway through April. In truth, he's played an awful lot of football this year and looks ready for the season to reach its conclusion and a well-earned break.
So it will likely come down to whether Postecoglou opts for more defensive stability in Sarr or some attacking creativity in Kulusevski.
Attack
It would be a surprise if Johnson didn't start after being an unused sub against West Ham. The attacker was key to the quick start in the first leg and should be well-rested to try and pick up another early goal to kill off the tie.
Elsewhere, Postecoglou did state that Solanke looks likely to be fit for the trip to Norway. "Dom's improving," he said. "We obviously left him out today but the medical team are pretty confident he should be right for Thursday."
That would indicate that he will be coming in to start in the No.9 role. Then it's a choice of who plays on the left. Richarlison started there against Bodo/Glimt but was withdrawn at half-time for Mathys Tel, who also made an impression as he started against West Ham.
Will Postecoglou be tempted to start the on-loan Bayern Munich star? Or will he repeat his method from the first leg? It's an interesting choice, and one which could prove key as Spurs go hunting for a place in the final.
