Tottenham and Bodø/Glimt will go head-to-head in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final clash on Thursday night at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Ange Postecoglou desperate for a positive result.

Spurs were thrashed 5-1 at Anfield on Sunday in the Premier League to add further comiserations to their domestic campaign, while Bodø/Glimt claimed a 3-0 win in their league on Sunday to come into this game in good form.

Both teams have got some injury concerns ahead of the game too, and this is how GIVEMESPORT expect the sides to line up.

Son ruled out

Postecoglou will be without and star forward Heung-Min Son for the game having missed the last four games with a foot injury.

The only other injury problem for Spurs is long-term absentee Radu Dragusin, who won't play again this season due to a serious knee problem. Antonin Kinsky, Sergio Reguilon, Timo Werner and Fraser Forster are all ineligible too.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Postecoglou shared an update on the squad for the game.

"Son won't feature tomorrow night. He's still separate from the group and hopefully we can get him back soon.

"I think we're in a good place. Looking at the output of players we've got some good minutes into players who needed it and managed the others. Players like Romero and Van de Ven have missed so much of the season, it's not just about getting back but how you manage when they come back. Dom played 60 minutes, Madders 45. They're all in a good place physically."

Tottenham Predicted XI

Kulusevksi and Maddison to start

Tottenham Predicted XI: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bentancur, Bergvall; Kulusevski, Maddison, Tel; Solanke.

Tottenham Predicted Substitutes: Whiteman (GK), Austin (GK), Spence (DEF), Davies (DEF), Danso (DEF), Gray (MID), Sarr (MID), Bissouma (MID), Johnson (FWD), Richarlison (FWD), Moore (FWD), Odobert (FWD).

Spurs have a near-full strength squad to choose from and that should see Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison start in attacking midfield together.

£245,000-a-week trio Richarlison, Ben Davies and Archie Gray are likely to be on the bench.
