Tottenham XI vs AZ Alkmaar: Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Europa League game today

Richarlison makes his first start since August as Tottenham host AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League tonight.

The Brazilian had been sidelined since the 4-0 win over Everton but made his return from the bench in Saturday's 4-1 win over West Ham.

Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has rung the changes in Europe again, with Fraser Forster making a rare start in goal in place of Guglielmo Vicario.

Postecoglou's biggest decisions were in midfield, where there has been little to choose between Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma this season. Bissouma started and scored against the Hammers, so Bentancur comes in tonight.

James Maddison is also in the middle, with Pape Matar Sarr likely coming in against Crystal Palace on Sunday after his impressive display off the bench in the win over West Ham.

Radu Dragusin also comes into the back four after being suspended for the win over Ferencvaros before the international break.

Teenager Mikey Moore makes another start after impressing in Hungary, with Timo Werner also getting some minutes.

Wilson Odobert is on the bench after returning from injury, but captain Heung-min Son will not be involved.

Tottenham XI: Forster, Gray, Dragusin, Davies, Udogie, Bentancur, Bergvall, Maddison, Moore, Werner, Richarlison
