Tottenham aim to continue their perfect start in the Europa League as they host AZ Alkmaar.

Ange Postecoglou’s side have won both games so far with Spurs handing full debuts to teenagers Mikey Moore and Will Lankshear in the 2-1 victory at Ferencvaros last time out.

Both academy graduates have impressed in the Europa League, along with fellow teenagers Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall, and they could be given the opportunity to feature again for the visit of the Dutch side.

Tottenham will also welcome back former academy graduate Troy Parrott. The 22-year-old striker left Spurs in the summer after several loan moves away from the club but has hit the ground running at AZ, including scoring four goals in a 9-1 win over Robin van Persie’s Heerenveen.
