Thursday's encounter will be just the third meeting between the two sides in competitive action, with Spurs boasting a 100 percent record.

A Heung-Min Son brace, together with an Erik Lamela effort, secured a 3-1 home success in the 2015/16 Europa League group stage, before the Premier League side secured the spoils in Azerbaijan a couple of months later, with Harry Kane proving the match-winner.

Tottenham endured a tricky start to the campaign, registering just four points from their opening four encounters, however, have since bounced with successive victories.

A dramatic 2-1 EFL Cup third round victory at Coventry City was followed up last weekend by a 3-1 home victory over Brentford in the Premier League.

FK Qarabag on the other hand, have won five of their six league outings today and currently sit at the summit of the Azerbaijan Premier League.
