After suffering defeat to Chelsea over the weekend, Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to regain their winning success as they set to take on NK Maribor in Group J of the Europa League Thursday at 1:00 p.m. ET.
Following draws with Lazio and Panathinaikos, Spurs are third in Group J going into the double-header with Maribor.
"I think these two games with Maribor is going to be the decisive point of the group phase," said boss Andre Villas-Boas.
"A point will not be a bad result as it will keep us tight with Maribor. Lazio can escape if they beat Panathinaikos.
"But our two games with Maribor will be decisive. After those we will see where we stand, before we have a home game with Panathinaikos and a difficult trip to Lazio."
Gareth Bale and Emmanuel Adebayor have not travelled with Tottenham for the Europa League tie with NK Maribor.
Bale remained at home after his partner gave birth at the weekend, while Adebayor misses out with a back complaint.
Hugo Lloris will start in goal for Spurs, while Mousa Dembele (hip), Scott Parker (Achilles), Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Younes Kaboul (both knee) are all sidelined.
