Tottenham welcome Panthianikos to White Hart Lane tonight looking to secure their safe passage to the knockout stages of the Europa League.

Spurs sit second in Group J and they will ensure qualification to the last 32 if they avoid defeat against the Greeks. However, if the visitors win they will leapfrog Tottenham and snatch a place in the next round.

Andre Villas-Boas has named a strong side with Brad Friedel given the nod in goal and Emmanuel Adebayor starts up front alongside Jermain Defoe. Young Tom Carroll starts in midfield with Aaron Lennon, Sandro and Clint Dempsey. Here are the confirmed line-ups:
