Match preview
Many Tottenham fans will believe they have bigger fish to fry with the visit of arch-rivals Arsenal on Sunday, but Jose Mourinho's side cannot afford to take their eye off the ball against LASK in the Europa League.
Spurs cruised past a Covid-ravaged Ludogorets last week, but the Austrians still have a realistic chance of making the knockout stage.
With a second game against the Bulgarian side to come, any positive result in this match will be a huge boost to the Linz club's chances.
Whether they get it is another matter and they will be mindful they were brushed aside 3-0 by Spurs when the teams met in London.
Mourinho is likely to field a strong second string again, but his forward options could be limited as both Harry Kane and Carlos Vinicius missed training on Wednesday.
The would provide another opportunity for Gareth Bale to gain some valuable playing time and the Welshman looks a decent first-goalscorer pick for the Lilywhites.
Key stat
Tottenham have kept six clean sheets in their last nine matches.
