15'
Holtby loaunches a ball in for Adebayor, who is onside but the flag does go up once Vercoutre flies out to clear.
14'
Lennon again gets in a good position but his cross from the left is hacked away by Lovren. Better from Spurs.
13'
Holtby with a good steal in midfield, nice through ball for Lennon but the winger - who had cut inside - loses control.
12'
Assou-Ekotto dilly dallies to let Lacazzette in, but he manages to get goalside and draw a foul. Good recovery.

Terrible ball from Grenier, failing to clear the wall, but the block falls to him and he sends in a much better ball with his left that Lacazzette should bury but he heads straight at Friedel!!
10'
The home fans boo again but Lisandro did foul Holtby and Spurs have a free-kick which Walker swings in. Lyon clear though as Fofana feeds Lisandro, who this time is fouled by Walker. Free-kick Lyon on the left edge of the box...
9'
Grenier with a great ball to Lisandro but Walker shows great strength to resist a shoulder barge and clear.
8'
Lacazzette in space on the right but he is offside, failing to look along the line properly.
7'
It's a good delivery from Bale, pacey and right on the penalty spot where Gallas flies in, but the Frenchman heads well over. Off the top of his head.
6'
Spurs have a free-kick on the right, which means Bale will swing it into the box. Surely he won't attempt a shot??
5'
The crowd are pretty noisy, jeering Bale when he gets a touch. Not a good idea.
4'
Grenier swings in a corner, which Umtiti meets but Gallas scrambles it clear and Lisandro sends a long-range daisy cutter well wide.
3'
Grenier swings the ball deep, Friedel comes for it but Vertonghen nicks the ball away from his keeper and Walker clears.
2'
Assou-Ekotto fouls Gomis with a high boot, the home fans boo heartily but there was barely contact.
1'
Friedel kicks the ball out of play after a delay with a kick - he explains the ball is not correctly inflated, and it is replaced.

Drop me a line on Twitter if you want to send me a prediction. I can see a 1-1 draw putting Spurs through, but for me it's too close to call.
17:45
William Hill have Spurs as 4/9 favourites to qualify, despite having conceded an away goal in the first leg. Lyon, who are 13/10 to win on the night, are 13/8 to go through. You have to back Bale and co. to score at least one.

Andre Villas-Boas: "We're trying to unlock the best from (Adebayor). Last year is an example for what we're trying to get out of him. We have been speaking to him about how he can get into goalscoring positions. Strikers live off goals and we're doing everything we can to unlock his potential."
17:35
Remi Garde: "We know the away goal is very important. We need to be patient. We have 90 minutes to qualify. It will be difficult but we can try to close them down and try to cut out their speed. To be able to qualify in front of the home fans would be exciting. We won last weekend [4-0 away to Bordeaux] so we have a better mentality now."
