Another night under the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium lights is not a particularly catchy phrase but I have to work with what I’m given. Anyway, tonight’s visitors - aiming to end Tottenham’s perfect start in the competition – are AZ. They possess some Spurs inside knowledge, having signed Troy Parrott from the club in the summer and he will be eager to show up his former employers.

The other important thing to know about the Dutch club is their manager is named Maarten Martens, which seems lazy from his parents. Other surprising AZ players include Bruno Martins-Indi, Jordy Clasie and Mark’s son Ruben van Bommel.

This seems like a competition that Tottenham could go a long way in, especially as the Champions League rejects will not be spewed into it in February. They have seen off Ferencvaros and Qarabag already but it feels like this will be a decent test of Ange Postecoglou’s European credentials.

Kick-off: 8pm BST
