Tottenham Hotspur are back in action a day earlier than expected as they welcome Austrian outfit Wolfsberger AC to north London for the second leg of their Europa League Round of 32 clash this evening.

Jose Mourinho's men have won just two of their last eight matches, including the 4-1 whitewash in the first-leg of this encounter, so despite the result being a mere formality, the Portuguese will surely want to see a decent performance.

Indeed, the 58-year-old has already revealed that he is likely to name "a very similar" lineup to the one that demolished tonight's opposition in Hungary a week ago.

He has also revealed that Ben Davies will take the armband, while Toby Aldwereireld will start, so how will the rest of the XI look? Here's what we are predicting...

There could be as many as eight changes to the side that tasted defeat to local rivals West Ham on Sunday afternoon, as Eric Dier, Japhet Tanganga and Lucas Moura all remain.

It is the Englishman who gets the nod as Alderweireld's partner over Davinson Sanchez, with Joe Rodon ineligible to feature in the Europa League.

Davies, as mentioned above, will come back in to replace Sergio Reguilon whilst between the sticks, back-up shot-stopper Joe Hart may be given his first run-out since the Wycombe FA cup win.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Tanguy Ndombele are in line to receive a rest, as is Heung-min Son and Harry Kane ahead of an important Premier League fixture with Burnley on Sunday - all four will be needed to turn around their domestic fortunes, more so than here.

So, as a result, we may see Harry Winks and Moussa Sissoko partner up at the base of midfield once again with Moura being deployed in the no.10 role.

That will allow Gareth Bale to start, having made such an encouraging impact against the Hammers from the bench at the weekend - he assisted the Brazilian's sole consolation goal, and that duo could continue to deliver tonight.

Whilst on the left flank, we're expecting Steven Bergwijn to be granted his first start since the Everton defeat over £80k-per-week Erik Lamela, who is axed after a string of poor performances.

Carlos Vinicius is also in contention to lead the line without Kane.

This game will come too soon for Serge Aurier and Giovani Lo Celso as the pair have only just returned to training this week following their respective injuries.

Mourinho has also revealed that four academy prospects will be involved on the bench - record-breaker Dane Scarlett, Dilan Markanday, Marcus Lavinier and Nile John - they could all feature should Spurs have put this tie away by the hour mark.

The Evening Standard also claim Dennis Cirkin, Jamie Bowden and Alfie Devine are among those in contention, too.
