Spurs vs Elfsborg | How to watch, team news, kit colours, key information

It’s the eighth and final matchday in the new league phase of the UEFA Europa League tonight, as we welcome Swedish side Elfsborg to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

We’re currently sixth in the standings and know that victory tonight would rubber-stamp a top eight finish and an automatic place in the last 16 of the competition.

Elfsborg, seventh in last year’s Swedish top flight, are 20th and very much in the mix to secure a play-off place.

Teams finishing between ninth and 24th will face a two-legged play-off to determine who progresses to the round of 16.
