Europa League: Tottenham - Basel

Preview
Andre Villas-Boas' side face the Swiss league leaders in the first-leg of their quarter-final White Hart Lane
With the exception of goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, Tottenham have a fully-fit squad at their disposal for the Europa League quarter-final first-leg clash with FC Basel at White Hart Lane. 

The France international is still recovering from a knee injury he picked up on international duty last week, with Brad Friedel set to continue between the posts for Andre Villas-Boas' side.

Both Michael Dawson and Aaron Lennon returned from injury for Saturday's 2-1 win at Swansea and the duo are expected to start on Thursday, while William Gallas and Jake Livermore should be recalled.

Jermain Defoe has scored four goals in the Europa League this season and is likely to replace Emmanuel Adebayor as Spurs' lone striker, but Sandro and Younes Kaboul remain long-term absentees. 

Basel, meanwhile, have no new injury concerns ahead of their visit to north London, with Marco Streller, Fabian Frei and former Liverpool defender Philipp Degen all expected to line-out for the Swiss side.
