Match background • Tottenham are unbeaten in their last five European home outings, including the 4-0 play-off second-leg victory against BSC Young Boys that earned their group stage berth. • Their most recent home reverse against continental opposition came against PSV Eindhoven in the 2007/08 UEFA Cup round of 16. Spurs lost 1-0, their second successive home blank against visitors from the Netherlands. Although they won the return by the same score, they were eliminated on penalties. • The Premier League club's overall home record against Dutch sides is W2 D3 L1. • In their only previous foray into Europe's elite competition, Tottenham faced Feyenoord in the 1961/62 European Cup first round. Although they won 4-2 on aggregate, their 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane was the only one of their four home games they failed to win in that campaign. • Spurs contested the 1973/74 UEFA Cup final against Feyenoord when a 2-2 home draw was followed by a 2-0 defeat in Rotterdam. • Twente's record in England is one draw and four defeats from five games. • Their most recent visit brought a 3-2 defeat at Manchester City FC in the UEFA Cup group stage in November 2008. Sander Boschker, Theo Janssen and Wout Brama are the only survivors from that team. • Twente's only previous trip to London came earlier that season when they lost 4-0 at Tottenham's neighbours Arsenal FC in a UEFA Champions League third qualifying round tie to complete a 6-0 aggregate defeat. William Gallas, now a Tottenham player, scored in both games for Arsenal. • Twente's record on their travels in Europe last term, first in a UEFA Champions League play-off then the UEFA Europa League, was W1 D3 L2. Team ties • As manager of West Ham United FC, Harry Redknapp oversaw 1-0 home and away wins against SC Heerenveen in the 1999 UEFA Intertoto Cup. • In his goalkeeping days, Twente coach Michel Preud'homme conceded four goals for R. Standard de Liège in a 4-0 UEFA Cup first round defeat at Manchester City FC in 1978/79. He was in the Belgium team beaten 1-0 by England in the last 16 of the 1990 FIFA World Cup. • Rafael van der Vaart played for AFC Ajax from 1999 to 2005, winning two Eredivisie titles. He was a team-mate of Boschker during the Twente goalkeeper's one season at Ajax in 2003/04 and later in the Netherlands' 2010 World Cup squad. • Van der Vaart played alongside Janssen and Denny Landzaat for the Netherlands in a 2006 friendly against the Republic of Ireland. • Landzaat was at Wigan Athletic FC from 2006 to 2008, appearing in a 3-3 home draw with Spurs in April 2007 and a 4-0 away defeat in November that year. • Heurelho Gomes won four straight Eredivisie titles at PSV from 2004 to 2008. • The injured Jermain Defoe put a hat-trick past Bulgaria's Nikolay Mihaylov in England's 4-0 UEFA EURO 2012 qualifying win at Wembley on 3 September. Mihaylov became a Liverpool FC player in 2007 but joined Twente on loan and made the move permanent this year. • Giovani Dos Santos scored for Mexico in a 3-0 World Cup qualifying win away to Bryan Ruiz's Costa Rica in September 2009.
