Hello and welcome to football.london's live coverage of Tottenham's Europa League encounter against AZ Alkmaar.

Ange Postecoglou's side have to put things right in north London on Thursday evening after suffering a 1-0 defeat in the Netherlands one week ago.

AZ hold the advantage going into the deciding leg and Spurs will have to produce an impressive performance if they are to advance past their Dutch opponents to secure a place in the last 16 of the competition.

Spurs will be without Kevin Danso for the round of 16 second leg fixture but Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven were both given minutes last Sunday against Bournemouth and could be paired together for the first time since December.

Tottenham correspondents Alasdair Gold and Rob Guest are covering the match with all the build-up and the action as it happens on the pitch and reaction from the supporters and media.
