Confirmed line-ups as Spurs seek to avoid second-leg collapse

Tottenham have command of their Europa League semi-final tie with Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt but cannot afford to be complacent.

Spurs won the first leg in north London 3-1, but a late goal for Bodo gave them hope ahead of the return fixture at a home stadium that has been a fortress in Europe this season.

Indeed, Bodo have won each of their last five Europa League games, including victories over Twente, Olympiacos and Lazio, by at least two goals.

Tottenham are without one of their key players as they seek to avoid the same fate.

Bodo/Glimt team news

The hosts are boosted by the return of Patrick Berg, the Norway international who missed the first leg because of suspension.

Berg has made 63 tackles in the Europa League this season, at least 19 more than any other player.

Also returning from suspension is fellow midfielder Hakon Evjen, who has three goals in Europe this term.

Bodo/Glimt: Haikin, Sjovold, Gundersen, Bjorkan, Berg, Saltnes, Evjen, Hauge, Blomberg, Hogh, Moe.

Substitutes: Nielsen, Helmersen, Auklend, Fet, Sorli, Maatta, Hansen, Jensen, Lund, Brondbo.

Tottenham team news

Dejan Kulusevski plays in midfield with James Maddison out for the season because of a knee injury.

Kulusevski is one of only four players to keep their place from last weekend’s 1-1 draw with West Ham.

Guglielmo Vicario, Yves Bissouma and Richarlison also retain their spots.

Dominic Solanke is fit enough to play having shaken off a thigh issue.

Tottenham: Vicario, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie, Porro, Bissouma, Kulusevski, Bentancur, Johnson, Solanke, Richarlison.

Substitutes: Danso, Tel, Gray, Spence, Odobert, Sarr, Davies, Moore, Ajayi, Olusesi, Austin, Whiteman.
