Tottenham Hotspur
We host Belgian side Royal Antwerp on Thursday evening in the last of our six group stage games in the UEFA Europa League.
With both sides already through to the round of 32, whoever wins at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will top the pile in Group J.
Antwerp are currently in pole position with 12 points, two points ahead of us, meaning only a win for us would see us jump to the summit.
