A lot has been made about the style of play and I don't think Spurs have been particularly fluent this season but they have found a way to win games. the last two games have been bitterly disappointing.

I thought they were thoroughly outplayed against Manchester United at Old Trafford and I thought Newcastle deserved the victory at the weekend but I suppose we can look at this evening's game in a couple of ways.

Spurs need to win the game to qualify for the next stage of course. I think Spurs fans coming to the game tonight want to see a performance from the team, they want them to take the game to Sporting Lisbon and be nice and fluent.

Spurs will move into the knockout stage with a game to spare if they win tonight, simple as that.

They are one point above Sporting and Marseille in a close group.

If Spurs win, then Marseille could also go through if they beat Eintracht Frankfurt, who still have qualification hopes themselves.

Otherwise it could all come down to Marseille v Spurs next Tuesday.

Bye bye Barcelona.

Edin Dzeko has just put Inter Milan 3-0 up against Viktoria Plzen. Remarkably that is Dzeko's 11th European goal against the Czech side in his career.

It's like Bruges busses all coming at once.

Stephen Eustaquio has given Porto a 3-0 lead at Club Bruges. The hosts hadn't conceded in the 2022-23 Champions League before tonight.

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has said now is not the time to think about potential January transfers.

Spurs signed Juventus pair Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur on deadline day this January.

After Sunday's defeat by Newcastle, Conte called for "money, time and patience" but in Tuesday's pre-match news conference, he said he won't go begging for signings in January.

When asked if it's vital he is backed by the owners in the next transfer window, Conte said: "The club understands very well the importance to bring in important players, good players in January or in the summer.

"We have to play other games and we have to try to do our best first of all.

"We want to take this big achievement to go to the next round [of the Champions League] tomorrow. We have a good opportunity to do it.

"We want to finish in the best possible way before the World Cup. My priority now is not January, but to finish in the best possible way."

Club Bruges have been made to pay for their missed penalty, with Evanilson putting Porto 2-0 up.

I say made to pay but Bruges are through already so they probably won't lose too much sleep.

In come Hector Bellerin, Marcos Alonso and Franck Kessie, as Sergi Roberto, Eric Garcia and Gavi.

Noa Lang has just missed a penalty for Club Bruges in their game with FC Porto, who still lead 1-0.

Hans Vanaken's effort was saved but it had to be retaken so Lang stepped up... and hit the post.

Porto are the first club to concede a penalty in four consecutive Champions League matches since Leicester City in 2016-17.

Check out the Napoli v Rangers team news here if you're interested. Napoli have rested some of their best players.

Still waiting to hear the Spurs team.

Crakkers: Tonight’s game is again the biggest of the season. Win or draw and we can recoup for the KO stages. Lose and we give ourselves a mountain to climb against Napoli next time out. Pray for the midfield.

Porto could book their place in the last 16 if they beat Club Bruges and Atletico Madrid fail to beat Bayer Leverksen.

Porto are currently leading 1-0 - the first goal already qualified Bruges have conceded in this season's Champions League. That's a 17:45 BST kick-off. The other game kicks off at 20:00.

Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson, right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold and forward Darwin Nunez all return to the starting XI.

Jurgen Klopp, unsurprisingly, names his strongest available side with Liverpool aiming to get qualification in the bag tonight.

Those are the three changes from the Reds' chastening 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

Liverpool starting XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Elliott, Fabinho, Henderson, Nunez, Salah, Firmino.

Hosts Ajax, who need a win to stand any chance of reaching the last 16, name the same side which won 4-1 at RKC Waalwijk at the weekend.

Former Southampton forward Dusan Tadic skippers the side as usual, with ex-Spurs man Steven Bergwijn providing support in attack.

Barcelona could well be knocked out of the Champions League at the group stage in the next hour.

If Inter Milan beat Viktoria Plzen in their 17:45 BST kick-off, the Italian side are through and Barca are out and the score is currently...

2-0 to Inter at half-time.
