Preview: Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk vs. Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur return to Europa League action on Thursday when they travel to Ukraine to face Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk in the first leg of their last-32 tie.

Spurs won all six of their matches in Group K to make it through to the knockout stage, conceding just two goals in the process.

Meanwhile, hosts Dnipro finished four points behind Fiorentina in Group E thanks to four victories and two defeats.

Danny Rose could return for the visitors following a minor knock, while Erik Lamela, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Vlad Chiriches remain sidelined.

Elsewhere, Roberto Soldado and Michael Dawson both have a chance of being recalled to the starting XI by manager Tim Sherwood after missing last week's 4-0 win at Newcastle United in the Premier League.
