Exits from both the FA Cup and Carabao Cup mean Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has only success in Europe left to maintain his record of “always” winning silverware in his second season at a club. Tottenham remain favourites to do so, but know their Dutch opponents will prove no pushovers.

The match is due to kick off at 5.45pm GMT on Thursday, 6 March at the AFAS Stadium in Alkmaar, Netherlands. Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the game live on TNT Sports 3, with coverage starting at 5pm. Subscribers can also watch online via discovery+.

Sitting a lowly 13th in the Premier League standings, Tottenham's only realistic avenue for European soccer next season is winning the Europa League. Ange Postecoglou famously said he always wins trophies in his second season in charge, and the second tier European competition is the only path towards making that statement true.
