Tottenham have endured some mixed fortunes in the Premier League this season, but their Europa League record is as yet unblemished.
Spurs have picked up two wins from two in Europe this season, seeing off Qarabag at home before a hard-fought win away at Hungarian side Ferencvaros.
Now their attention turns to Dutch outfit AZ, who have won one and lost one so far in the Europa League.

Given Spurs' hectic schedule, Ange Postecoglou uses this game as an opportunity to rotate his side, although he's limited to an extent with fringe players Wilson Odobert and Djed Spence battling injuries. The former is at least listed on the bench.
Radu Dragusin gets a chance in central defence, while it could be the ideal time for Richarlison to build up his match sharpness after a long time out with injury. Youngsters Archie Gray and Mikey Moore are also given game time.
Tottenham starting lineup (4-3-3, right to left): Vicario (GK) — Gray, Dragusin, Davies, Udogie — Bentancur, Maddison, Bergvall — Moore, Richarlison, Werner
Tottenham subs: Vicario, Austin, Bissouma, Romero, Solanke, Kulusevski, Johnson, Porro, Sarr, Odobert, Van de Ven, Lankshear
Injured: Spence
Suspended: None
