Tottenham face a tricky trip into the Arctic Circle to face Bodo/Glimt as they look to convert a strong lead into a Europa League final place.

Ange Postecoglou’s side made a good start to the semi-final as they secured an advantage at home last week, but the late concession of a goal, narrowing their lead to 3-1, could yet prove costly.

Bodo/Glimt have beaten FC Twente, Olympiacos and Lazio by at least a two-goal margin in Norway on their run through to the last four, and will be confident of another good result.

The Norwegian club are bidding to be the first from the nation to reach a European final and set up a meeting with either Manchester United or Athletic Bilbao.

Here’s everything you need to know.
