Tottenham striker Defoe chasing down Euro scoring record

Tottenham striker Jermaine Defoe is set to start tonight's Europa League tie with FC Sherriff.

Defoe will continue his pursuit of Martin Chivers' club record of 22 goals for Spurs in European competition.

Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas said: "They don't need opportunities or chances. They're valued and they're great quality players. The difference from last year, I think, is the competition is higher.

"Last season we wouldn't rotate as much for this competition as we have so far. This is done because of the immense talent we have at our disposal."
