It's rowdy at the London Stadium. The locals have been looking forward to this.

Warm applause as both teams take the knee.

Game on.

We're watching this so you don't have to. Under way in the third-tier European competition as Spurs take on a Slovenian side most of us have never heard of.

The obligatory light show.

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo speaking to BT Sport: "They are a good team. They are going to be a tough opponent. We have to play good."

On teenager Dane Scarlett starting tonight: "He's a young boy with a lot of talent. He's progressing well and today is a good chance to help the team.

West Ham manager David Moyes has named a strong line-up tonight.

Not for him the concept of working hard to qualify for Europe and then not being bothered about it when the matches start.

"We wanted so much to ensure European football returned to West Ham and the players were determined to make it a reality," he says.

"I've attended and managed many games in Europe over the years and European football is something very special."

Alexander: Leicester don't look bothered about the Europa League (which I can't say I blame them). The psychological effect in dropping out of the top 4 twice in a row is too hard to take, also. They know they have no chance of it this season. What is there to play for?

Leicester and Napoli were joint favourites to win the Europa League before a ball was kicked.

They currently occupy third and fourth spot in Group C after both losing tonight. The Italians were beaten 3-2 at home by Spartak Moscow.

Tough group.

It's fair to say NS Mura won't be well known outside their homeland of Slovenia.

The club were formed in 2012 (and were in the fourth tier in 2013-14) after ND Mura 05 went bust. That team had been formed in 2005 after NK Mura - who were set-up in 1924 - went bust.

They are the Slovenian champions, and won the cup the season before that.

They are fifth in the 10-team division this year.

None of their players have ever won a senior cap for Slovenia.

They lost in the Champions League qualifiers, then the Europa League qualifiers this season, before ending up in this tournament with Spurs.

Leicester City

Former Foxes midfielder Robbie Savage on BT Sport: "Brendan Rodgers will be disappointed with the goal. He [Amartey] was wrong side. He could be much stronger and then they allowed Legia to get the shot off.

"When Leicester were pressing Legia had two massive chances on the counter and I think they deserved it overall."

Tim: It's good to see Kane on the bench, as his recent performances show that is where he deserves to be right now. Sadly I feel Nuno is doing it for the wrong reasons

Leicester City

Former Leicester forward Emile Heskey on BT Sport: "Bitterly disappointed. Going into the tournament and you're joint favourites [for the group] and you end up five points behind, sitting at the bottom and you have not really played that well.

"I think it is the not playing well that is the most disappointing part of it. They had 60% possession but can say they really created clear-cut chances".

"It was half chances for Leicester. The best one was Jannik Vestergaard where he has seen the ball coming on to his header and he has managed to connect with his shoulder. You are still expecting to see it go in.

"They will regroup. They have got Palace at the weekend and they need points in the Premier League as well."

I spoke to England's World Cup final hat-trick hero and West Ham legend Sir Geoff Hurst at yesterday's statue unveiling at the London Stadium.

Current boss David Moyes was there and Hurst was full of praise for the Scot.

"Last season was terrific and we have made a great start to this one," he said.

"Every club has ups and downs, we are no different. Liverpool didn’t win a league title for 30 years – can you understand that?

"We seem to be on the way back under David Moyes. There seem to be a lot more Happy Hammers than there have been for quite a while."

West Ham legend Martin Peters had his ashes laid in the foundations of the statue unveiled at the London Stadium on Wednesday in honour of the club's historic 1965 European Cup Winners' Cup success.

The statue, which also features Bobby Moore and Sir Geoff Hurst, is part of the club's 125th anniversary celebrations.

Peters, who played 11 years for West Ham, died in December 2019, aged 76.

"It is an emotional day," former striker Hurst told BBC Sport.

Hurst, who attended the ceremony along with Moore's daughter Roberta and Peters' wife Kathy, lifted the World Cup with England in 1966 alongside his two Hammers team-mates - a year after their European glory.

"It was such a great time, winning the FA Cup, the Cup Winners' Cup and miraculously, the World Cup," he added. "All three of us, winning all three in the space of three years, it was quite astonishing really."

Rangers fall to their second consecutive defeat in Europa League Group A.

Sparta Prague see out a win against the 10 men of Rangers thanks to David Hancko's first-half header.

Follow reaction here.

James Maddison curls over. The full-time whistle follows.

Leicester's faltering season continues.

They will feel they could have got something from this. They had enough chances. It is a costly defeat, though.

Harvey Barnes' cross floats through the box and out of play. Goal kick. Is that Leicester's last chance?

Legia look like they've weathered this.

We're into the last added minute.

Chance!

James Maddison is found in the box by Harvey Barnes but pokes his shot on the stretch into the sidenetting.

It's just not happening.
