Tottenham Hotspur are back in Europa League action this evening as they head to Austria knowing that anything but a defeat sees them into the knockout stages.Jose Mourinho's men currently sit second in Group J by three points, so a victory against third-placed LASK Linz tonight will see them through.Last time out Spurs drew 0-0 with local rivals Chelsea and thrashed Ludogorets 4-0, meaning they are now unbeaten in six matches and have lost just once in 17 games in all competitions.The 'Special One' is left with some injury issues to deal with, so what sort of side will we see line-up at the Stadion der Stadt Linz? Here's what we are predicting...predicted-spurs-xi-vs-laskMourinho is short for strikers for the trip to Austria, in fact, both Harry Kane and Carlos Vinicius are not expected to feature whilst Heung-min Son could be rested.Spurs are also without Toby Alderweireld through injury whilst Sergio Reguilon could also be absent with an issue. Joe Rodon is ineligible for selection in this competition.It means we may see a defence with plenty of recalls.In comes £45m-rated outcast centre-back Davinson Sanchez, who hasn't featured in any of their last five Premier League matches, to partner Japhet Tanganga, just like the pair did against Ludogorets.While Matt Doherty replaces Serge Aurier on the right with Ben Davies the natural alternative to the marauding Spaniard.It may also be Moussa Sissoko's turn to start midweek after Tanguy Ndombele's presence against the Bulgarians as well as Chelsea, and he could sit next to Harry Winks at the base of a three-man midfield.

We could see Dele Alli play a part once again, slightly ahead of his fellow Englishman with Steven Bergwijn and Lucas Moura taking up the spots on the flank.

Giovani Lo Celso will have to settle for a spot amongst the substitutes.

With a lack of out-and-out strikers, Mourinho could turn to Gareth Bale to play the no.9 role, especially as he did not feature at Stamford Bridge, so he should be fit to play the majority of this encounter.

There is likely to be another place on the bench for 16-year-old record-breaker Dane Scarlett while the likes of Harvey White, Dennis Cirkin and Jack Clarke will all be eager for minutes in the second half.
