Tottenham are attempting to progress to the Europa League last 32.
Tottenham’s Dele Alli in action with Gent’s Brecht Dejaegere
Tottenham Hotspur suffered a surprise defeat away at Gent a week ago, but have an opportunity to make amends.
The second leg of their last 32 Europa League tie takes place tonight, with Spurs 1-0 down from the first match.
Head coach Mauricio Pochettino has selected a strong team, keen to get a win at Wembley under their belts ahead of moving into the stadium temporarily next season.
A 1-0 win for Spurs will mean a penalty shootout, so Spurs need a two goal victory, while having to be cautious not to concede an away goal.
Tottenham are battling on multiple fronts at present, having beaten Fulham at the weekend to make the FA Cup quarter finals.
That 3-0 win was a vital confidence booster after suffering two successive defeats, and Spurs will hope to build on it this evening.
Here is a look at how the two teams line up for this evening’s decisive fixture…
