Fixture Focus - Spurs (21 Aug 2014)

AEL Limassol FC vs Tottenham Hotspur
(Europa League Qualifying Stage)

Spurs' Europa campaign will begin on the warm Mediterranean island of Cyprus, facing last season's Cypriot First Division runner-up, AEL Limassol.

This game marks Pochettino's first competitive European outing in his career, and very likely he would want to make his first impression lasts. Still toying around the formation and tactics (methinks), we could see players who are not in the first team at West Ham's game on the plane to Cyprus, with names such as Soldado, Paulinho and Davies as the likely candidates.

AEL Limassol are no pushovers themselves as they were the Cypriot champions just 2 seasons ago, and are experienced in European competitions. Their squad, like ours, boasts an international presence with players coming from Brazil, Spain, Portugal, etc.

COYS!
