-------------------------------------------------------------
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham will be without the services of Richarlison (unspecified) and Wilson Odobert (hamstring). Both players are ruled out with their injuries. The North London club are expected to rotate their squad here, especially with the game against Manchester United coming up.
Spurs are expected to shape up in a 4-3-3 formation, with Fraser Forster in goal. Archie Gray and Djed Spence are likely to be deployed as the full-backs, and they will look to contribute at both ends of the pitch. Radu Dragusin will start at the heart of the defence alongside Ben Davies.
As for the midfield unit, Rodrigo Bentancur will add defensive cover and drive to the side alongside Pape Matar Sarr, who will look to protect the back four and break down opposition attacks. Lucas Bergvall will start as well and he will add creativity to the side. Dominic Solanke will lead the line for Tottenham, with Brennan Johnson and Timo Werner on either side of him.
Qarabag FK
Qarabag will be without the services of Kevin Medina, who was sent off against Dinamo Zagreb in the last round. Other than that, the visitors have a fully fit squad to choose from. Mateusz Kochalski will start in goal as the away side line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Matheus Silva and Elvin Cafarguliyev will start as the full-backs. They will look to protect the central defenders and help out during transitions. Badavi Guseynov and Behlul Mustafazade will start as the central defenders here.
Julio Romao and Patrick Andrade will start in the midfield double pivot, and they will look to keep things compact defensively and break down opposition attacks. Yassine Benzia and Abdellah Zoubir will start on the flanks for the away side. Leandro Andrade should reprise the no. 10 role, with Juninho leading the line for Qarabag against Tottenham.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Forster; Gray, Dragusin, Davies, Spence; Sarr, Bentancur, Bergvall; Johnson, Solanke, Werner
Qarabag FK possible starting lineup:
Kochalski; Matheus da Silva, Mustafazada, B Huseynov, Cafarquliyev; Romao, Patrick Andrade; Leandro Andrade, Benzia, Zoubir; Juninho

Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 Qarabag FK
Even though Postecoglou is likely to ring the changes, Spurs should still have more than enough firepower to record a routine matchday one victory here. Qarabag rarely travel well, and their record against English clubs is damning, with six losses from six, and there is little to suggest they can arrest that run here.
