Tottenham must overturn a 1-0 deficit in their Europa League round-of-32 second-leg clash against Gent at Wembley on Thursday (kick-off 8.05pm).

After Spurs' comprehensive FA Cup fifth-round win at Fulham on Sunday, Pochettino insisted Thursday's clash is like a "cup final" for his side, saying: "For our supporters, at Wembley, it is massive, we need to put all of our energy into that."

Jeremy Perbet's goal secured a first-leg lead for the Belgians last week, but Gent are eighth in their domestic league, and have won just one of their last five in the top flight.

Team news

Harry Kane should lead the line for Spurs at Wembley, fresh from scoring a hat-trick in the win over Fulham, while Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen are also expected to start.

Jan Vertonghen is expected to be in the heart of defence having come through 90 minutes at Craven Cottage, while Kyle Walker and Mousa Dembele should come in for Kieran Trippier and Harry Winks.

Danny Rose is still unavailable with injury, as it Erik Lamela.

Opta stats

Spurs have now won just one of their last four European games against Belgian sides, losing away in Belgium to Anderlecht (October 2015) and Gent in the first leg.

The last time Tottenham faced a Belgian team in a European knockout tie, they lost the first leg 2-1 away, before winning the second 3-0 at home (v Club Brugge in the last 32 of the UEFA Cup, 1984/85).

Tottenham have lost five of their last six matches played at Wembley, but did beat CSKA Moscow there in December.

Gent's only previous match on English soil came against West Ham in a 1-1 draw in the first round of the Cup Winners' Cup in 1964/65 (lost 1-2 on aggregate).

If Spurs were to progress, they would have reached the last 16 of the Europa League in four of the last five campaigns.

Danijel Milicevic has created more chances than any other player in the Europa League this season (26).

Charlie's prediction

Tottenham were dreadful last Thursday but they found a way to bounce back against Fulham, which I thought was a dangerous tie.

When Harry Kane, Christian Eriksen and Heung-Min Son are getting on the ball early, then you know they are going to cause problems, and that was the difference between the two teams.

They've got Stoke at home on Sunday so I think he'll give a few more fringe players a chance than in the FA Cup, but Gent are an average team and I wouldn't be surprised if Spurs won 3-0, even with a few changes.

Charlie predicts: 3-0 and Dembele to score first (45/1 with Sky Bet)
