Tottenham vs Elfsborg LIVE: Europa League latest score and goal updates today

Spurs looking to seal top eight finish

Vídeos OneFootball

Tottenham tonight host Elfsborg in a big Europa League game. Spurs are currently on course for a top-eight finish in the Europa League table but know they must beat the Swedish side in order to absolutely guarantee they will be there. Given the relentless nature of this season’s schedule, that will be a big boost to manager Ange Postecoglou.

Postecoglou is under pressure this season after a nightmare Premier League campaign but cup competitions remain his saving grace. One of the favourites for the Europa League as a whole, the fact that Spurs could yet taste silverware success perhaps sums up the divisive nature of their season.

Micky van de Ven is back in training for Spurs and could feature tonight. That will be a huge boost to Postecoglou, who has seen his squad wrecked by injury all season.

Dejan Kulusevski launches Ange Postecoglou defence and says Spurs problems are 'bigger than that'

Dejan Kulusevski has launched an unequivocal defence of Ange Postecoglou and says Tottenham’s poor form is down to bigger factors than the Australian or his players.

Postecoglou is under pressure with Spurs down in 15th in the Premier League after a run of one win in 11 top-flight matches, though they will reach the Europa League knockouts with a victory over IF Elfsborg on Thursday and are still in both domestic cups.

Tottenham handed biggest January boost amid push for new signings

As January draws to a close, Ange Postecoglou's mid-winter selection crisis is finally showing signs of easing – not in the form of new signings, but with Micky van de Ven's return to the squad for Thursday's Europa League finale against IF Elfsborg.

"Let’s see how much we can get out of him," Postecoglou said. "He's had a good week, 10 days training with the team and is in good condition, so he is fine."

Tottenham vs Elfsborg: Europa League score prediction today

Injury crisis or not, anything less than a win would be considered another nadir for Spurs this season. Postecoglou’s side will again be down to their bare bones, but there is enough quality - tired or not - to see off the fifth-best team in Sweden.

Spurs will hope to build a comfortable lead in the first half so Postecoglou can rest some of his exhausted players ahead of a trip to Brentford on Sunday.

Spurs to win, 2-0.

Tottenham team news vs Elfsborg today

Spurs’ injury woes have somewhat improved with Richarlison being passed fit after being forced off early against Leicester. Pape Matar Sarr is also expected to be “OK” after Ange Postecoglou confirmed the midfielder should not have played during the loss on Sunday.

Brandon Austin will again play in goal with Antonin Kinsky ineligible, sitting out the game along with Djed Spence and Sergio Reguilon. Will Lankshear could get the nod up front, though Heung-min Son is the more obvious choice to lead the line despite being clearly in need of a rest.

James Maddison has been ruled out of the game for Tottenham, although Micky van de Ven is back in Spurs training. Cristian Romero has been back in training for a week too but is unlikely to be risked.
