Decent break by Tottenham as Steven Bergwijn knocks the ball forward for Dele Alli to chase. He has Giovani Lo Celso in support, finds him, but then Lo Celso's pass to Bryan Gil is cut out.

Tottenham haven't had much opportunity to attack with Vitesse feeding off the energy from the crowd and keeping up the pressure on the visitors.

The corner is played short and Maximillian Wittek goes down inside the area under a challenge from Bryan Gil. The home crowd scream for a penalty but nothing given.

Matus Bero is then booked as Spurs try to get the ball up the pitch.

Eliazer Dasa swings a deep cross to the far post and Tottenham take no chances, putting it behind for a corner. Dasa is there to meet the set piece and his strike deflects behind for another corner.

Every touch of the ball by a Vitesse player is greeted by a huge roar from the stands, the latest cheer for a challenge on Bryan Gil to stop him getting away down the flank. The home fans are loving this.

A nice move almost comes off as Tottenham play quick, one-touch passing before Giovani Lo Celso knocks the ball through for Dele Alli to chase but there's too much on it and it runs through to the keeper.

Nikolai Frederiksen runs onto a through ball into the box but the angle is tight and Pierluigi Gollini is off his line quickly to get the ball. Very bright start by the hosts.

Vitesse, roared on by the home fans, attack straight from the outset and have plenty of players in and around the box waiting for a cross to come in but Tottenham manage to deal with the early threat.

We're under way!

Great atmosphere before kick off as these two sides meet for the first time. Packed stands with 24,000 in attendance and yellow and black flags being waved as the two teams line up.

Vitesse, like Crystal Palace, have an eagle mascot that flies across the pitch before kick off. It's called De Hertog, or The Duke, and has just done its thing now before the players come out.

Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo, speaking to BT Sport: "Tonight we must compete. It is going to be tough game as Vitesse are a good team.

"We will focus now and try to pass on all the details of things that could happen in this game."

Starting in midfield for Vitesse today is Sondre Tronstad, who spent two years in England at Championship side Huddersfield.

He didn't play a first-team game for the Terriers but has become a first-team regular at Vitesse and earned his first Norway cap last year.

West Ham are in action later and they are top of Group H with two wins from two games, while Belgian side Genk are in third place.

"I'm really enjoying it. We're a really happy club at the moment," said West Ham boss David Moyes.

"Everyone's enjoying the league games and Europe and I have to say I'm really enjoying the European experience.

"I want the players to go far in it. It would be great if we could top the group, but trying to make sure that we go through would be the main aim at the moment."

Both Tottenham and West Ham fans will have an interest in seeing Genk's Paul Onuachu in action later.

If reports are to be believed both clubs are interesting in signing 6ft 7ins striker, who has scored 11 goals in as many games this season and hit 35 in all competitions last season.

Steven Bergwijn, back from a six-game injury absence, starts tonight and the former PSV Eindoven player knows plenty about Vitesse.

"When I played in Holland, Vitesse were always difficult to play, especially at their stadium," said.

"They like to play football and they always have good players. It's not going to be an easy game but we are Tottenham so we need to win and I think we have enough quality."

John Bathgate: I don't understand the logic. Always play your best team in the league so that you can get into a European competition. Then play your B team in that competition and go out??? #bbcfootball, external Fergie?

Kit. Pennant. Armband. Tape. Bottle of water. Bottle of electrolyte-packed orange stuff.

If the Vitesse shop doesn't flog these as 'Build Your Own Footballer' kits then they're missing a trick.

Vitesse lost their last game in the Europa Conference League, going down 2-1 to Rennes, but head into tonight's game in decent form.

They have won three of their last four league matches, beating NEC at the weekend, and they will be looking to carry on that momentum.

They are also on a record-breaking run, having scored in six consecutive European matches for the first time.
