Tottenham's Champions League adventure really hots up with a trip to the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza to take on Internazionale in Group A.

Bale goes down inside the Inter penalty area, but that was never a penalty and Cesar can clear.

Lennon makes his first run down the right wing, and the midfielder cannot pick out Modric in the centre with his cross.

STAT: Inter beat Chelsea home and away last season ending a run of five Champions League games without a win against English sides and four matches without scoring.

Coutinho takes a long ball from Lucio down into his stride out on the left, but he cannot get his cross in on this occasion.

GOAL!!!! ZANETTI OPENS THE SCORING! A stunning, sweeping move from Inter culminates in a goal as Coutinho finds Eto'o, who in turn finds the onrushing Zanetti, and the Argentine picks out the far corner of Gomes's net with a clinical finish!

The first half is underway, and the hosts kick us off with Eto'o partnered by Philippe Coutinho.

The Spurs fans are in full voice, and we are just seconds from kick off...

The atmosphere is building very nicely, and the players are in the tunnel waiting to emerge on to the pitch. What does everyone make of Spurs' back four this evening of Hutton, Gallas, Bassong and Assou-Ekotto - can the quartet thwart Eto'o et al?

Asko says: "How can anyone even think that Tottenham have a chance? A 4-1 Inter win and that's it!" What do others think? Post your views, comments and predictions below...

Rafa Benitez enjoyed six wins and only three defeats in 14 games against Spurs during his time at Liverpool, though the three losses all came in the last five meetings with Harry Redknapp as boss of the Londoners.

Both Inter and Spurs have four points on the board after two matches in the group with top spot seemingly up for grabs.

Inter are two points off the top of the Serie A table after seven matches, and Rafael Benitez has had a steady start at the European champions.

Heurelho Gomes is licking his lips at the prospect of Gareth Bale and Maicon squaring off in Tottenham's mouthwatering Champions League clash with Inter Milan.

The teams are in, and Peter Crouch will play up front on his own with a five-man midfield of Lennon, Jenas, Huddlestone, Bale and Modric in behind him. What do you make of the sides? Post your views below. The referee for this evening's clash is Damir Skomina of Slovenia.

Internazionale: Julio Cesar, Maicon, Lucio, Samuel, Chivu, Zanetti, Stankovic, Biabiany, Sneijder, Coutinho, Eto'o. Subs: Castellazzi, Cordoba, Muntari, Cambiasso, Materazzi, Pandev, Santon

Tottenham: Gomes, Hutton, Gallas, Bassong, Assou-Ekotto, Lennon, Jenas, Huddlestone, Bale, Modric, Crouch. Subs: Cudicini, Kaboul, Bentley, Pavlyuchenko, Keane, Palacios, Kranjcar

Internazionale: Striker Diego Milito, winger Mancini and central midfield duo Esteban Cambiasso and McDonald Mariga are out injured. Midfielders Thiago Motta and Jonathan Biabiany are doubtful after suffering knocks in the 1-0 win over Calgiari at the weekend. Philippe Coutinho is expected to partner Eto’o up front, while young Nigerian midfielder Joel Obi should get another start.

Team news: Tottenham will be without Rafael van der Vaart and captain Ledley King with the former suspended after a red card against Twente and the latter injured, although he would have been rested anyway.

Harry Redknapp therefore hopes William Gallas feels no ill effects from his first game for a month on Saturday, while Younes Kaboul (hamstring) is still a doubt and Sandro is ineligible, joining long-term absentees Jermain Defoe, Michael Dawson (both ligament damage), Jamie O'Hara (back) and Jonathan Woodgate (groin) on the sidelines.
