Tottenham Hotspur resume their Europa League campaign on Thursday night and face one of their tougher tests with a trip to Galatasaray.

Ange Postecoglou watched his side pick up an impressive 4-1 win over Aston Villa at the weekend, with big-money signing Dominic Solanke scoring twice, but consistency has been the biggest problem for Spurs and he will want the side to maintain that level for the last couple of games before the international break.

Neither of these clubs have lost in the Europa League yet, Spurs winning all three and sitting second, while Gala have two wins and a draw to lie in fifth.

The Turkish team’s only defeats this season have come in the Super Cup and the Champions League qualifiers, leaving them on a run of 11 unbeaten in all competitions since then.

Here’s everything you need to know.

When is the match?

Spurs head to Galatasaray with kick-off set for 5:45pm GMT on Thursday 7 November.

Where can I watch it?

The match will be broadcast on TNT Sports 1 and subscribers can stream on discovery+.

What is the team news?

Galatasaray only have Ismail Jakobs missing but Okan Buruk has shifted his team from 3-4-3 to 4-2-3-1 depending on which attackers he wants on the pitch, so Mauro Icardi and Victor Osimhen may be battling for a single spot.

Spurs are without Richarlison, who went off injured at the weekend after assisting a goal, as well as Wilson Odobert, Micky van de Ven and centre-back partner Cristian Romero. Ange Postecoglou has tended to switch around his side significantly for Europa matches so the likes of Ben Davies, Timo Werner and impressive youngster Mikey Moore will all be hoping for game time.

Predicted lineups

GAL - Muslera, Ayhan, Sanchez, Bardakci, Kutlu, Torreira, Sara, Yilmaz, Mertens, Akgun, Icardi

TOT - Vicario, Gray, Dragusin, Davies, Udogie, Bentancur, Bergvall, Maddison, Moore, Solanke, Werner

Odds

Gala 13/10

Draw 3/1

Spurs 19/10
