Hello and welcome to the Eurosport.com coverage of Tottenham vs Leipzig.

Great save from Gulasci. Lo Celso played a beautiful ball to Bergwijn who turned onto his right foot but the Leipzig keeper was equal to it.

Winks makes a blocks from a shot from Werner on the edge of the box.

Spurs looking to play long diagonal balls to beat the Leipzig press but they are struggling to keep the ball when they get it in attacking postions.

Spurs really need to settle down.

Leipzig hit the post and Lloris makes a superb stop. The first effort is blocked by Lloris's legs onto the post from Angelino.

Schick cleverly flicks the ball past Alderweireld but hits his 20-yard effort a metre or so wide.

Leipzig get us underway...

The teams walk out to deafening roars of 'Come on you Spurs', which make way for the Champions League anthem. Really up for this one. Spurs without their strikers, Leipzig without key defenders - who adjusts best?

The bookies have Leipzig as slight favourites for this game, you would hope the home fans understand just because they are not playing one of Europe's glamour boys they are still up against it and they stay behind the team in what is likely to be tough going.

Although as a club Leipzig have little history, the region was a football hotbed historically, boasting the first ever German champions in VfB Leipzig in 1904 and FC Lok reaching the Uefa Cup Winners Cup final in 1987 where they lost to Ajax and a goal from Marco van Basten. Unseemly as it is for many, they at least give the old East Germany some presence in the Bundesliga outside of Berlin.

Decent scenes from the Leipzig fans on the way to the ground.

You wouldn't say Spurs look buzzing coming out the tunnel.

As for Leipzig they will have few supporters back home in Germany tonight outside their own supporters, with other club's fans mostly unified in disliking the franchise nature of the club, which was only formed 11 years ago.

Chelsea have even more reason to cheer against their London rivals with their on-loan starlet Ethan Ampadu starting for the German side.

As expected Lucas Moura will start up front for Spurs and, on the surface at least, it appears Jose Mourinho has resisted the temptation to play defensive in the home leg, with Lo Celso, Dele Alli and Steven Bergwijn all supporting the Brazilian makeshift frontman.

Tonight's Teams:

Tottenham: Lloris; Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Davies; Winks, Gedson; Lo Celso, Dele, Bergwijn; Lucas.

RB Leipzig: Gulacsi; Mukiele, Klostermann, Halstenberg, Angelino; Sabitzer, Laimer; Ampadu, Nkunku, Schick, Werner.
