Bodo/Glimt v Tottenham LIVE: Score and goal updates from Europa League semi-final

Just 10 minutes until we get underway in Bodo.

Spurs are in the driving seat but will need to withstand the unique Bodo/Glimt will pose.

Despite a dismal domestic season, Ange Postecglou’s side could be just 90 minutes from a European final.

We’ll have all the play-by-play action from Norway, next.

A lot has been made of the “Arctic Circle” challenge that awaits Tottenham. But just how cold is out in Norway?

Well, it’s only 7°C – a good 10°C or so less than London, but nothing that should inflict frostbite.

Nevertheless, in such an open stadium, they will be more exposed to the elements than usual. And it’s absolutely tipping it down.

An all-English final would give two of the Premier League’s underperforming teams a chance to save their seasons and gain direct access to next year’s Champions League. United are in 14th place in the Premier League and Tottenham, who have not won a trophy since 2008, are 16th.

On top of the cold conditions in the Arctic Circle, Spurs will face the challenge of playing on an unfamiliar surface as they take to the Aspmyra Stadion’s 3G pitch.

The artificial nature of the ground may be a reason behind Bodo/Glimt’s formidable home record in Europe, something Spurs will undoubtedly be wary of.

However, Dejan Kulusevski – who played on such surfaces during his time in Sweden – believes Spurs can deal with the different pitch.

“It is different football (on an artificial pitch), it is a different pitch, but in life, you have to do what you have to do to find a way to win and we have got to do that,” he said.

Bilbao is likely to be full of English football fans on Wednesday 21 May. Northern Spain’s largest city is hosting the Europa League final.

Many Spurs and Man United fans have already booked flights to Bilbao on the assumption their team will be playing in the final in the San Mames Stadium at 8pm on 21 May.

Fares have surged, even though easyJet has laid on extra flights from London Gatwick and Manchester.

It is likely that a limited number of additional flights will be laid on by budget airlines. But there are many other ways to reach Bilbao.

The big news in the line-ups is that Dominic Solanke is back and fit to start for Spurs after coming off injured in the first leg.

He takes his place up top, surrounded by attacking reinforcements in Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison.

Bodo/Glimt XI: Haikin; Sjovold, Moe, Gundersen, Bjorkan; Evjen, Berg, Saltnes; Blomberg, Hogh, Hauge.

Tottenham XI: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bissouma, Bentancur; Johnson, Kulusevski, Richarlison; Solanke.

With team news set to be confirmed in the next few minutes, here is a reminder of what we already know:

Patrick Berg, Hakon Evjen and Andreas Helmersen should all be back in action for Bodo/Glimt after serving suspensions in the first leg. Daniel Bassi remains absent.

James Maddison appears likely to miss the remainder of the season for Tottenham, a major blow with Lucas Bergvall also out. Heung Min Son is a doubt as he nears a return from injury.
