Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Europa League last 32 clash between Gent and Tottenham Hotspur. We'll bring you all the action as it happens. Kick-off: 18.00.

CLOSE BY DELE! The England international is positive as soon as he received the ball from Winks, but his powerful effort skipped just past the near post with Kalinic beaten.

Gent have won just two of their last 10 fixtures, while Spurs have only won two of their last 13 matches away from home. So shall we just put this one down as a draw already?

Spurs are in fact the favourites to win this whole tournament. Along with Manchester United, Pochettino's side are tipped by the bookmakers to win the Europa League.

Indeed, the home side have started very well here, although much of that is down to Spurs allowing them to keep hold of the ball in the midfield area. Not causing much damage.

Gent have started sharply here, but they are resting a number of their best players. They seem to be prioritising the league over the Europa League. I thought it was only English teams that did that?

Wanyama plays a ball into the channel for Kane to chase, but Kalinic is quick off his line to make the interception. Kane is looking to turn and run at goal every on in this game.

This is Spurs' fifth competitive trip to Belgium and they have still to wait on any of those trips. Will tonight see them break their duck? They are the favourites to come away with the win here.

Early signs are that Kane is leading the line, obvously, with Dele on the left and Sissoko on the right. Although Sissoko is more than willing to cut inside and drift into the centre.

Indeed, Pochettino has made just two changes to the side that lost to Liverpool at the weekend. Winks has been handed a starting place in the centre of midfield.

Of course, Spurs come into this game on the back of the defeat to Liverpool on Saturday. That was one of their worst displays of the season, but Pochettino has stood by that team.

That was a half chance for the home side within the opening two minutes. The ball was cut back to the edge of the box by Simon, but Milicevic couldn't a meaningful connection.

The match is under way in Belgium! It's Gent against Spurs in the Europa League.

Genk will pose a threat, but they don't play with an archetypal frontman. They play with attacking midfielders making runs into the final third. Spurs should be able to see them off.

That's an attacking team from Pochettino. He quite clearly wants to take a positive result back to London for the second leg. Winks starts, as does Sissoko. Kane and Dele lead the line.
