10'
Poor ball by Davies straight to Mkhitaryan, but his ball was too strong for Aubameyang. A little bit of a let-off for Spurs.
8'
We're back underway and Davies is alright to continue. Spurs seeing more of the ball in the early stages, but Dortmund showing that they're able to turn defence into attack in an instant.
7'
Davies has an injury to the jaw or maybe the neck, and he's looking quite groggy to say the least. He may be able to continue though.

Reus stays on side and whips a dangerous ball into the box. Lloris comes out and gathers but clatters into Ben Davies, and the Welshman looks to be in a bad way.
5'
Decent enough start by Spurs. Trippier making some good ground on the right.
4'
Schmelzer gets forward down the left but his cross goes straight over Lloris's bar.
3'
A huge noise coming from the Dortmund end. They travel well, this lot. Spurs fans making plenty of noise too though. A cracking atmosphere.
2'
Aubameyang makes a dangerous surge forward down the right but his ball towards Reus is just too close to Lloris.

It wasn't long ago that Erik Lamela was being labelled a £25m flop. Now they're making montages about him.

The decision to leave Kane on the bench is proving controversial in some quarters on social media. This is what the Spurs boss had to say about his rotation policy: "Sometimes we rotate, sometimes maybe I made a mistake," he said. "We analyse our decisions a lot. We can always do better and for that we are open to learn."

The jubilant Dortmund fans are already in place.

It's difficult to look for the positives for Spurs after a disastrous first leg in Dortmund last week, but they have averaged three goals a game at White Hart Lane in the Europa League this season (12 goals in 4 games).

Dortmund pretty much at full strength, except for Gundogan who is still missing through injury and captain Mats Hummels, who is rested.

Spurs go for a slightly stronger 11 than the first leg, but Pochettino still leaves out Eriksen, Dembele and Kane. Alli and Dier return after missing the first leg altogether though.
