Tottenham vs Marseille - LIVE!

Tottenham make their Champions League return tonight as they host Marseille in their opening group-stage match. After two seasons away, Spurs are back on the top table of European football and will be eyeing a deep run after getting a favourable draw.

Antonio Conte’s side are unbeaten so far this season, even if their performances have not been entirely convincing at times, and they sit third in the Premier League, just a point behind Arsenal at the top. Harry Kane has been in superb goalscoring form and will looking to continue that in Europe, though Conte has a decision to make over Heung-min Son who continues to struggle.

Marseille are in impressive form themselves, level on points with PSG at the top of Ligue 1 and are also yet to lose this season. Nuno Tavares, Matteo Guendouzi and Sead Kolasinac are among those with Arsenal connections in the squad and are unlikely to receive a warm reception in north London.

Conte made five changes for the win over Fulham, which was by a narrow scoreline which did not reflect his side's dominance. Richarlison came in for his first start and impressed so could keep his place, though Dejan Kulusevski will have other ideas. Heung-min Son has struggled this season but is unlikely to be dropped.

Cristian Romero returned from injury and will start again, with Ben Davies and Eric Dier likely on either side despite loanee Clement Lenglet's impressive first start. Ivan Perisic will return at wing-back.

Conte has been reluctant to play Matt Doherty so far this season but he could surely now deputise for Emerson Royal, who is due a rest before the Premier League showdown with Manchester City this weekend.
