Good evening and welcome to LIVE coverage of Lazio against Tottenham in their Group J clash in the Europa League. Teams coming right up for you.

Naughton doing a fine piece of defending to knock the ball away from Gonzalez.

The home fans with a huge banner of Paul Gascoigne this evening. Adebayor caught narrowly offside after setting off too soon.

The sides drew 0-0 in their first meeting at White Hart Lane. Hugo Lloris keep a clean sheet in his first game for Spurs. Marchetti was the busier keeper in that match.

Sigurdsson takes a strong boot in the chest from Radu as he miskicks the ball out wide. The challenges fairly flying in out there.

Lovely ball from Carroll into the path of Bale there. That should give the visitors real heart to get at this Lazio defence.

Bale goes beyond Marchetti to slip home the opening goal, but the offside flag has gone up against him. Bad decision. He was well onside. Spurs should lead 1-0.

Walker trying to go beyond Radu. Appeals unsuccessfully for a corner and Marchetti will have a goalkick here.

A win will guarantee Lazio first place in the section. Spurs could also qualify with a win, provided Panathinaikos either win or draw at home against Maribor. Will keep you posted on how that one is working out.

Gonzales can't keep a ball from the back in out wide and Naughton will have the throw-in for Spurs deep in his own half.

Kyle Walker races back to clear the danger after Hernanes was presented with a pass straight from kick-off.

Spurs get the match off and running in Rome.

Teams in the tunnel and we are almost ready to go. Spurs in white, Lazio in dark blue.

This match has been overshadowed by events off the park. You can read about the bloody goings on in Rome here.

Both of Spurs' away games in Group J have ended 1-1. Their only win in their last five away trips in this competition was a 4-0 triumph against Irish semi-professional side Shamrock Rovers FC in last season's group stage. Lazio have not won in their last eight outings against English clubs - three draws and five defeats. It is a run which stretches back to a 2-1 win at Chelsea in the 1999/2000 UEFA Champions League second group stage.

Match odds for this one in case you fancy a flutter: Lazio 7/5, Tottenham 21/10, Draw 21/10

Lazio defender Andre Dias is out for a month following an injury picked up in the goalless draw with Juventus. Michael Ciani came on for him in that match and continues in his place. Biancocelesti midfielder Ederson has a thigh muscle tear and is out for a few weeks.

Lazio team to face Tottenham: Marchetti, Cavanda, Biava, Ciani, Radu, Mauri, Gonzalez, Ledesma, Hernanes, Lulic, Kozak

Spurs rest defenders William Gallas and Steven Caulker, with the latter carrying a knock. Moussa Dembele is rated at 50-50 and is not risked. Emmanuel Adebayor starts as he is banned for three domestic matches and coach Andre Villas-Boas protects his other senior striker Jermain Defoe. Scott Parker (Achilles), Younes Kaboul and Benoit Assou-Ekotto (both knee) all miss out.

Tottenham team to face Lazio: Lloris, Walker, Caulker, Vertonghen, Naughton, Sandro, Carroll, Sigurdsson, Bale, Dempsey, Adebayor
