Tottenham are on the brink of reaching the last 32 of the Europa League as they travel to play LASK tonight.
Jose Mourinho’s side are second in Group J with two games left to play, but will reach the first knockout phase of the competition if they avoid defeat in Linz by virtue of their head-to-head record with Austrian club LASK.
Securing a spot in the knockouts would be a boost to Mourinho ahead of a busy festive fixture schedule as Spurs look to mount a Premier League title challenge, while there are a few squad players who will want to prove a point in Austria.
Date, kick-off time and venue
LASK vs Tottenham is scheduled for a 5:55pm GMT kick-off today (Thursday, December 3, 2020).
The match will be held at Stadion der Stadt Linz.
