    Spurs 0-0 Sporting

    Spurs' bright start has, um, debrightened a bit. Sporting are starting to see plenty of the ball and Ben Davies concedes a free-kick.

  2. Elsewhere in Europepublished at 20:11 British Summer Time 26 October 2022

    Sadio Mane has slotted Bayern Munich into a 1-0 lead over Europa League-bound Barcelona.

    Bayern would seal top spot with a win.

    Bayer Leverkusen lead at Atletico Madrid, who will be eliminated if it stays like that.

    Ajax 0-0 Liverpool

    Better from Liverpool with a nice flowing move down the right. Harvey Elliott finds Mo Salah on the flank but the forward's low ball into the box is too close to the keeper.

    Spurs 0-0 Sporting

    Some nice skill by ex-Spurs man Marcus Edwards to get a move going but it ends in Paulinho's cross sailing out of play.

    Ajax 0-0 Liverpool

    No chances yet for Liverpool. A promising attack by the visitors breaks down as Jordan Henderson accidently dribbles the ball into the back of his advancing team-mate Roberto Firmino's heel.

    Spurs 0-0 Sporting

    Eric Dier pings a 70-yard ball into the path of Lucas Moura, who just can't take it in his stride on the edge of the box. That was inches away from being a big chance.

    Ajax 0-0 Liverpool

    Some good possession for Ajax in these early stages but Liverpool don't need to match their opponent's intensity at the moment.

    Ajax attack again but Steven Bergwijn's cross is too long before Daley Blind's shot is blocked by Joe Gomez.

  8. Elsewhere in Europepublished at 20:06 British Summer Time 26 October 2022

    Daichi Kamada has given Eintracht Frankfurt an early lead against Marseille.

    They are one point behind Spurs as things stand...

    Spurs weren't clinical in the first game in Lisbon and they paid the price for that. They will be looking to see this one through tonight and take their opportunities.

  10. Postpublished at 20:05 British Summer Time 26 October 2022

    Spurs 0-0 Sporting

    Harry Kane pings a ball out left to Ivan Perisic. He finds the overlapping Son Heung-min but the South Korean is eased backwards by a defender.

    Matt Doherty is inches away from keeping a ball in. And then Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg drags a shot well wide from distance.

    Decent start for Spurs.

  11. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 20:04 British Summer Time 26 October 2022

    Ajax 0-0 Liverpool

    What a chance for Ajax already!

    We're just a couple of minutes in and Steven Berghuis has to score really. A nice move opens up a static Liverpool defence and Berghuis has all the goal at this mercy from close range but he strikes the base of the post.

    Warning shot for Liverpool.

    The Spurs players would like a performance but they would also like the relief that after tonight they are through to the next stage.

    Tottenham Hotspur 0-0 Sporting

    It feels like a big game here. It's a match with a lot riding on it and the atmosphere matches that. The Champions League anthem booms out.

  14. KICK-OFF (x 6)published at 20:00 British Summer Time 26 October 2022

    We are under way in Amsterdam, Naples, Madrid, Barcelona, Frankfurt and London.

  16. 'Ajax will take the game to Liverpool'published at 19:57 British Summer Time 26 October 2022

    Ajax v Liverpool (20:00 BST)

    Chris Sutton
    Former Aston Villa striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    The pressure is on Liverpool. At the stage of the group, you would think Liverpool would top it and be the strongest team but it hasn't materialised like that. Ajax away is never an easy game. Ajax will try to take the game to Liverpool and Liverpool have looked vulnerable this season so they'll have to weather a bit of a storm this evening.

  17. Postpublished at 19:55 British Summer Time 26 October 2022

    Bayern Munich will be confirmed as group winners if they beat Barcelona tonight.

    They have won 10 Bundesliga titles in a row, although trail Union Berlin this year.

    So BBC asks if their dominance is bad for German football?

    Media caption,

    Is Bayern's dominance bad for the Bundesliga?

    Spurs v Sporting (20:00 BST)

    Tottenham striker Harry Kane has scored 21 goals in 28 appearances in the Champions League.

    If he finds the net in this game, he will overtake Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard into the top five English scorers in the competition’s history.

  20. 'Inconsistency costing Liverpool'published at 19:53 British Summer Time 26 October 2022

    Ajax v Liverpool (20:00 BST)

    Chris Sutton
    Former Aston Villa striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    After the Manchester City game, you though that would be the result to lift and boost their confidence.

    They sort of scrapped home against West Ham in the following game, then going to Nottingham Forest, I didn't think Forest with their confidence really low would have much of a chance but Liverpool were poor so it's that inconsistency which is really doing Liverpool in and I fear for them tonight because Ajax actually have nothing to lose and they will take the game to Liverpool.

    If Liverpool don't win tonight, they've put themselves under real pressure. They'll have to hope Napoli play a second string side. The way things are looking, Ajax will have too much for Rangers.
