    Olympiakos are winless in eight Champions League matches (D1 L7), since a 2-1 victory against Dinamo Zagreb in November 2015. It’s their joint-longest winless run in the competition alongside an eight-game run ending in October 2003.

    Manchester City have just one centre-back available tonight.

    Only Nicolas Otamendi is fit with John Stones ruled out because of a muscle injury and Aymeric Laporte (knee) also sidelined until the new year.

    Fernandinho is expected to fill the void and manager Pep Guardiola says the central midfielder "can deal with it".

    "He will do well because my players are well," he said.

    "We will create something, it is what it is."

    Kyle: They need a bit of luck as all sides do as it's so close in a lot of big games. Spurs could get to at least semi finals and anything can happen from there. Spurs and Bayern to easily qualify. 3-1 to Spurs tonight.

    "No-one today is thinking or giving us chance to be a contender to be in the final in Istanbul this season," said Mauricio Pochettino, who will take charge of his 50th European game for Tottenham in Greece.

    "But that is normal. That makes it again very exciting, our run in the Champions League.

    "We know we have to start by winning. However, you can talk but you need to show your quality. We need to show we have learned from the past."

    Now they are back in the saddle and start with the awkwardness of a tea-time kick-off in stinking hot Athens.

    Without a clutch of injured players as well. All aboard!
