Woking over time/woking late

Teachers,

When you are saying that you have to work extra hours today than your usual woking hours, can you say like:

I have to work over time./I have to work over time tonight.

I have to work late./I have to work late tonight.

If both are possible, which is more commonly used.

Please help me, thank you.
