Tottenham take on AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League tonight with a place in the competition’s quarter-finals up for grabs.
Ange Postecoglou’s side trail 1-0 from the first leg in the Netherlands and were fortunate to escape with only a one-goal deficit.
The Australian refused to comment on the suggestion that this clash is win-or-bust for his tenure, but he will be well aware of the pressure on his position. With Spurs 13th in the Premier League table, success in Europe offers the last opportunity of silverware and Champions League qualification.
