Tottenham Hotspur have certainly been doing a lot better in the UEFA Europa League than they have in the Premier League. Heading into tomorrow night’s clash at Galatasaray, they sit second in the UEL table. Plus they are no doubt feeling very confident heading into this match, having just thrashed a very good Aston Villa team, in domestic competition, this past weekend.

Meanwhile Richarlison, Micky van de Ven and Wilson Odobert (all of which are nursing hamstring injuries) remain out.
Not much has changed here, other than Cristian Romero being taken off early, in the blowout win of Aston Villa, due to a foot injury. Both he and Djed Spence (who has been missing out with a groin injury) will need to pass late fitness tests in order to feature in this one.
