Tottenham are looking to secure their spot in the UEFA Europa League Round of 16 knockouts against Elfsborg on January 30. Ange Postecoglou is under increasing pressure as Spurs have slipped down the Premier League table in 2025 with four successive league losses since the turn of the year.

The stakes in the final Europa League matches on Thursday at 20:00 GMT are identical to that of the UEFA Champions League. The top eight teams will head straight into the last 16 on 6 and 13 March, while the teams placed ninth to 24th face a two-legged playoff on 13 and 20 February.

Manchester United booked their place in the Europa League last 16 with a 2-0 win at Romanian side FCSB, while troubled Tottenham turned to their young guns to advance via a top-eight finish on Thursday.
