Tottenham confirmed team vs Elfsborg - Micky van de Ven and Mikey Moore start, Kulusevski rested
Ange Postecoglou has named his Tottenham team to take on Elfsborg in the Europa League on Thursday night.
Spurs are already through to the knockout stages of the competition but if they remain in the top eight with a victory, or potentially a draw, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium then they will bypass the play-off round, which brings two fixtures next month, and head straight into the round of 16 in March.
For this game, Postecoglou has got Micky van de Ven back after training for 10 days and the Dutchman starts in the backline alongside either Archie Gray or Ben Davies, with one of them starting at left-back There is also a start for 17-year-old Mikey Moore up front with Richarlison and Son Heung-min.

Rodrigo Bentancur, Pape Matar Sarr and Lucas Bergvall all start again in the midfield, while Dejan Kulusevski has finally been rested along with Radu Dragusin.

Austin; Porro, Gray, Van de Ven, Davies; Bentancur, Sarr, Bergvall, Moore, Son (c), Richarlison. Subs: Forster, Whiteman, Hardy, Dragusin, Cassanova, Bissouma, Ajayi, Olusesi, Kulusevski, Scarlett, Lankshear.
