Tottenham Hotspur welcome Panathinaikos to White Hart Lane on Thursday with both sides still in with a chance of making it through to the next round of the Europa League.

A total of seven points from five games has left Spurs second in the group behind Lazio, while the Greek outfit sit two points behind Andre Villas-Boas's side. Spurs could also secure top spot in the group should they beat Panathinaikos and Lazio lose away to NK Maribor.

The last time the two sides met was in early October when the points were shared in a 1-1 draw, but Spurs enter the match having won their last three matches in a Premier League, a run of form that has taken them into the top four.

The home side are still without long-term injured duo Scott Parker and Younes Kaboul, but Villas-Boas is expected to name a strong side. Meanwhile, Panathinaikos have a virtually fully-fit squad to choose from and are expected to name their strongest side.
