Key events
A reminder of what happened this time last week, when things could have turned sour for Spurs, but didn’t. It’s been a good week for Dominic Solanke, all told.
That Tottenham starting XI is about as youthful, and therefore super-exciting, as it gets. Ange gives the nod to 18-year-old right-back Archie Gray, 18-year old playmaker Lucas Bergvall, 17-year-old winger Mikey Moore, and, making his debut, 19-year-old striker Will Lankshear. Audere est Facere, as they say around N17 way.

Preamble
Spurs managed to see off Qarabağ with ten men last week. Can they dispatch Ferencváros with a full team of 11? We’ll soon find out. An emotional journey – not for Spurs, who haven’t played the famous Hungarian club before, but for Ange Postecoglou, who played under the legendary Ferenc Puskás at South Melbourne – begins at 5.45pm BST. It’s on!
