Aggressive Spurs can still create chances

Tottenham got off to the ideal start to the Europa League season with wins against Qarabag and Ferencvaros and should be able to get three wins out of three against Dutch club AZ.

However, the Eredivisie side are still capable of scoring in London as Spurs have kept clean sheets in just five of their 27 home games under Ange Postecoglou.

Tottenham’s attacking style tends to create opportunities for their opponents, but their ability at the other end and positive approach suggests they can take maximum points even if they concede a goal.

AZ had a mixed start to the league season, losing their last four games, but had scored in nine of 11 away games before recent defeats at Athletic Bilbao and Fortuna Sittard.

Kulusevski thrives in the central role

Dejan Kulusevski appears to have found new life after moving from the right wing to take on a more central role and it would be no surprise to see the Swedish star score for the third time this season.

The former Juventus winger opened his account for the season with a well-taken strike that capped a fine performance in the 3-0 win at Manchester United, while he scored again in Saturday’s 4-1 home win over West Ham.

Brennan Johnson is his only teammate to have scored more goals this Premier League season and Kulusevski has tried his luck a total of 15 times in recent internationals against Slovakia and Estonia, so his confidence is clearly high.

Parrott has something to prove

Former Spurs striker Troy Parrott will be looking to make a big impression at the club where he made his debut as a 17-year-old under Jose Mourinho.

He joined Alkmaar in the summer after a series of loan moves and made a name for himself by scoring four goals in a 9-1 win over Heerenveen last month.

The Republic of Ireland striker has had 14 shots on target in nine league games this season and will not need a second invitation to try his luck if a chance arises against his former employers.
