Line-ups confirmed although kick-off delayed due to travel disruption

Tottenham open their Europa League campaign at home to Qarabag tonight.

Head coach Ange Postecoglou claimed he always wins trophies in his second season at clubs, and this may be Spurs’ best bet for silverware.

The North Londoners have made a middling start in the Premier League and sit 10th.

Kick-off delayed

Spurs announced about 40 minutes before kick-off that the game would be delayed due to transport problems in North London.

The A10 was closed in both directions earlier while London Overground services from Cheshunt and Enfield Town to White Hart Lane were suspended.
