It is the second time that the team from Alkmaar will face the team from North London this season. Earlier this season, AZ travelled to England for an away match against Tottenham in the third match of the UEFA Europa League competition phase. At that time, Spurs won 1-0 thanks to a converted penalty by Richarlison.

AZ's Top scorer this season, former Tottenham player Parrott said we will show everyone what we can do.

When AZ visited London, it was in a difficult phase, but since then the team has made progress, "It was not a nice period for us. Of course we all want to win as many matches as possible and that did not work out during that period. So yes, that was disappointing, but sometimes it can go that way. I think we have done very well since then.

Now we have to try to continue on that path. It is going to be an interesting match. I have the feeling that we have become a better team. We are all looking forward to showing what we can do against a strong opponent", says the Irish striker.

Parrott also emphasises the importance of the European competition for the team from Alkmaar: "It is really important for us to get as far as possible in the Europa League. We have already come far. Now we are all focused on winning the next two matches and reaching the next round."
