19'
FRANKFURT ARE TURNING UP THE HEAT!
They win another corner after a great routine which obviously came straight from the training ground, and Spurs are hanging on as they struggle to get out of their own half.
18'
CHANCE FRANKFURT!
That's a great move from the Germans. Spurs are opened up on the edge of their own box as Rode is found on the right but his shot is deflected behind for a corner.
15'
RICHARLISON DRIVES FORWARD BUT COMMITS A FOUL
As he drives into the Frankfurt half with the ball he takes a dodgy touch and over stretches as Sow comes across to dispossess him, and catches the Frankfurt midfielder.
12'
KANE AT THE BACK POST...
But it's just out of reach of the England striker. Son whipped in a delicious ball towards the back post and Tottenham seemed to have plenty more bodies in the box waiting to pounce, but the fizzed cross evaded them all.
11'
THE FRANKFURT CROWD ARE NOT HAPPY
Lenglet put in a heavy challenge on Lindstrom before that foul on Royal and got away with it. The home supporters are making their opinions heard as Spurs stand over this free kick.
10'
ROYAL DRAWS A FOUL IN A DANGEROUS AREA
Knauff catches the Tottenham player who gets in behind once more, and is posing a threat high up the right wing.
6'
CHANCE TOTTENHAM!
And Royal of all players gets on the end of a wonderful Dier ball over the top, but he snaps at the shot a bit too sharply and watches as his strike flies over the bar.
5'
FRANKFURT ATTACKING THE RIGHT FLANK
Daichi Kamada looks for Muani's darting run down the right hand side, but the pass is overhit.
2'
DIER GETS A KNOCK
As Randal Kolo Muani chases a ball down the wing, Eric Dier stretches to see the ball out before the forward can get on to it, and in the process looks as if he took some impact to his knee. He's up and seems ok to continue.
1st Half

Tottenham - in all white - get us underway.

FRANKFURT'S DEBUT CHAMPIONS LEAGUE CAMPAIGN OFF AND RUNNING
After winning the Europa League last season, Eintracht Frankfurt are playing in the Champions League for the first time in their history. They had a nightmare start when they were beaten 3-0 at home by Sporting Lisbon, but recovered in matchweek two with a 1-0 away win in Marseille.
Group D is a tough group to survive, and a win tonight would be huge for the hosts if they’re serious about reaching the knockout rounds. Can they cause Tottenham problems? They know how to beat the big boys...

STAT - KANE THRIVES AGAINST GERMAN OPPOSITION
19:24
WHO COMES OUT ON TOP TONIGHT?
Not only are Spurs still licking their wounds from their first Premier League loss of the season at the weekend, but they'll also be desperate to bounce back from the defeat they suffered against Sporting Lisbon in their last Champions League outing.
Sporting scored a late double to snatch all three points from the Londoners in September, and currently lead Group D with Spurs in second.

Despite defeat in the North London Derby on Saturday, Antonio Conte has kept his faith in the 11 that started at Arsenal and puts out the same side tonight. That side includes Emerson Royal who saw red for a high challenge on Gabriel Martinelli.
Harry Kane leads the line with Richarlison and Son Heung-min either side.
