Preview: Tromso IL vs. Tottenham Hotspur

Sports Mole previews Thursday's Europa League clash between Tromso IL and Tottenham Hotspur in Norway.

Tottenham Hotspur will be expected to rest a number of key players on Thursday when they travel to Norway to face Tromso IL in the Europa League.

Andre Villas-Boas's side, who have already qualified for the next round of the competition, currently lead Group K by five points thanks to four wins out of four.

However, they will be eager to get back on form following Sunday's 6-0 hammering at the hands of Manchester City in the Premier League.

Hosts Tromso have no chance of reaching the last 32 after taking just one point from their opening four fixtures.

Spurs earned a comfortable 3-0 victory when the two teams met at White Hart Lane back in September, with Jermain Defoe getting on the scoresheet twice.

Brad Friedel, Kyle Naughton, Etienne Capoue and Defoe are all likely to start for the hosts, while Christian Eriksen remains sidelined through injury.
