Welcome to Asteras Tripolis versus Tottenham Hotspur at the Theodoros Kolokotronis Stadium. Tripolis manager Staikos Vergetis has described this Europa League game as the biggest in the Greek side's history, and who can blame him afer the club's rise from the fourth division in the last ten years.

Will Erik Lamela try a rabona repeat? Jan Vertonghen, who captains Spurs tonight, claimed it was the best goal he'd ever seen a teammate score.

Asteras are one of only four teams in the group stage who started out in the UEFA Europa League second qualifying round along with FC Krasnodar, FC Dinamo Minsk and HNK Rijeka.

Despite Harry Kane's excellent goalscoring run in the competition so far this season, you won't find any Spurs fans getting overexcited about his potential.

Dorin Goian, who had a two-year spell with Rangers, is unable to play for Asteras tonight due to injury. He could have waved to his compatriot and occasional central defensive partner Vlad Chiriches on the Spurs bench if he was.

Spurs haven't won on any of their three previous visits, but if they can do so today they will be in a very healthy position to qualify out of Group C.

Mauricio Pochettino certainly expects it to be a tougher test for Tottenham today, but still has decided against bringing Younes Kaboul, Aaron Lennon, Kyle Walker, Nabil Bentaleb or Brad Friedel to Greece, for what is the club's fourth game in the country.

The 21-year-old striker, obeying the rules of playground football, went in goal soon after his hat-trick was complete, replacing Hugo Lloris when the Frenchman was shown a red card.

Tripolis are unchanged from the side which lost 5-1 to Spurs at White Hart Lane two weeks ago. It was all fun and games back then, with wonderful rabonas and Harry Kane scoring a hat-trick.

Tottenham's man of the moment Harry Kane starts upfront as Emmanuel Adebayor is left back in London for the third consecutive Europa League away game. There's also a rare start for second-choice goalkeeper Michel Vorm.
