Tottenham 3-0 Olympiacos
Good evening and welcome to our live coverage of Tottenham Hotspur vs Olympiacos in the Champions League.
Here is how Spurs lineup in Jose Mourinho's first home game as manager...
Tottenham return to European action with a different man in the dugout to the one who was present in their victory against Red Star Belgrade.
Jose Mourinho has already managed in one game what Spurs struggled to do since January - an away Premier League victory, so can he now get his side pushing Bayern Munich for top spot in Group B?
The journey starts here against Olympiacos.
What are the standings in Group B ahead of tonight's games?
Well, Bayern Munich lead the way with four wins out of four, including that 7-2 drubbing of Spurs last month.
Jose Mourinho's side sit second, five points behind Bayern, while Red Star Belgrade look destined for the Europa League.
Olympiacos however look to be on their way out of Europe altogether, with a draw at home to Spurs their only point in this campaign.
Dele Alli looked back to his former self against West Ham, including a fantastic assist for Son for the first goal.
Alli has been directly involved in three goals in his last four Spurs appearances, scoring one and assisting two, and he now looks like he belongs in an England squad.
Will he demonstrate his talent on the European stage tonight/
