Tottenham
Spurs will be without midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur after his yellow card in the first leg has triggered a one-match suspension, but with Archie Gray and Bergvall only named as substitutes at the weekend, Postecoglou has more than enough options to cover.
Micky van den Ven and Cristian Romero both returned from lengthy absences at the weekend and could well be the starting duo at centre-back here, especially with Radu Dragusin and Ben Davies both out injured.
Dejan Kulusevski is the big miss at present for Tottenham, because the Swede has contributed to 20 goals across all competitions this season, while Richarlison, who scored the only goal when they beat AZ in the league phase, is also currently sidelined.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Vicario; Pedro Porro, Van de Ven, Romero, Udogie; Bergvall, Gray, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Son
Az Alkmaar
AZ will be without Mayckel Lahdo after he was forced off inside just 10 minutes during the first leg, and his replacement, Denso Kasius, also had to be withdrawn shortly after the hour mark.
Those two will join influential duo Sven Mijnans and Ruben van Bommel on the sidelines, while young attacking pair Jayden Addai and Mexx Meerdink are also out injured.
Former Spurs boy Troy Parrott should lead the line again, hoping to score against the club where he broke through as a youngster, after failing to do so in their two previous meetings this season.
AZ Alkmaar possible starting lineup:
Owusu-Oduro; Maikuma, Goes, Penetra, Wolfe; Clasie, Buurmeester, Koopmeiners; Poku, Parrott, Sadiq
Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 AZ Alkmaar
