Tottenham Hotspur will be hoping to get back on track when they face Rangers for their Europa League clash on Thursday.
Spurs come into this game on the back of a disappointing 4-3 defeat to Sour Premier League rivals Chelsea, despite a two-leg lead. The result meant they are winless in their last 4 games in all competitions.
Rangers, by hand, beat Ross County 3-0 in the Scottish Premier League and are on a five-game winning run in all competitions of late.

Here’s how this was in the United States:
Tottenham Hotspur comes into this match with a large number of absences. Cristian Romero and Micky Van de Ven were withdrawn in their defeat against Chelsea, which would cause them to miss this match. Additionally, Richarlison, Mikey Moore and Wilson Odobert are injured.
Rodrigo Bentancur should feature in midfield as his seven-match ban is restricted to the Premier League. Additionally, Will Lankshear could start in strike after serving his suspension against Roma.
Tottenham Hotspur predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Forster (GK) — Pedro Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Udogie — Sarr, Bentacur, Bissouma — Johnson, Lankshear, Son.
Injured: Romero, Van de Ven, Richarlison, Moore, OdobertSuspended: None
Neraysho Kasanwirjo is shown to miss this Spurs clash for the Rangers, while Tom Lawrence and Oscar Cortes are doubtful due to minor injuries. Hamza Igamane has been prolific for Rangers recently and is expected to return to the left flank for them as a backup for Tottenham Hotspur. .
The Rangers predicted XI (4-2-3-1, on the left): Butland (GK) – Tavernier, Souttar, Balogun, Jefte – Raskin, Hagi – Cerny, Diomande, Igamane – Danilo.
PROSECUTED: Kasanwirjo, Lawrence (doubt), Cortes (doubt) suspended: none
Tottenham Hotspur have won any of their past opposition to Rangers. Furthermore, the hosts have a poor record against English opposition in Europe, being winless in their last six meetings.
However, Rangers have been doing well recently in Europe and in the Championship, while Tottenham Hotspur have gone through a difficult period. This match will probably be a draw with goals crying on both sides.
