Tottenham Hotspur will host Royal Antwerp in the Europa League on Thursday night to determine which side finishes top of Europa League Group J.

Antwerp beat Tottenham 1-0 in the reverse fixture and are two points ahead of their opponents.

Both teams have already secured a place in the knock-out stages, but Spurs will need a win if they want to finish above their opponents.

Jose Mourinho’s side come into the match off the back of a 2-0 win over Arsenal in the Premier League, where they sit top of the table.

A trip to Crystal Palace awaits Spurs this weekend, where they could find themselves off top spot without playing a game, given Chelsea play on Saturday and are just two points behind, meaning Jose Mourinho will likely rest his players here with an indifferent attitude to top spot or progress as a runner-up.

Antwerp will be without Matheus and Sander Coopman, who are injured and have not made the trip to London.

They will need a point to finish top so Leko will name his strongest possible side, which should be spearheaded by Lior Refaelov, who has three goals in five Group J matches.

Tottenham: Hart, Doherty, Sanchez, Tanganga, Davies, Lo Celso, Winks, Bale, Alli, Lucas, Vinicius.

Prediction
