We take on KF Shkendija in North Macedonia in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League this evening (kick-off 7pm UK).
Here’s a run-down of all the key information you need to know ahead of the game...
How can I watch the game?
The behind-closed-doors contest at the National Arena Todor Proeski in Skopje will be shown live in the UK on Premier Sports.
Coverage of this evening’s match begins on Premier Sports 1 at 6.55pm.
Premier Sports is available via Sky, Virgin TV and the Premier Player. A list of international broadcasters covering tonight’s game can be found here.
You can also follow the action during the game on Club channels via our live Match Centre, complete with live text and audio commentary, goal alerts and stats. The Match Centre is available on the Spurs Official app and here on tottenhamhotspur.com.
How will the teams line up?
New signing Sergio Reguilon is not eligible to feature tonight as he is not on our UEFA squad list for this round of the competition.
Defender Japhet Tanganga, meanwhile, remains sidelined with a thigh injury.
Who is the referee and what colours will the teams be playing in?
The match officials for tonight’s game are from Turkey – Ali Palabıyık is the referee, with Serkan Olguncan and Çem Satman serving as his assistants. Arda Kardeşler is the fourth official.
As with last week’s second qualifying round victory over Lokomotiv Plovdiv in Bulgaria, we’ll be in our yellow third kit for this evening’s match.
Shkendija play in red and black shirts with black shorts and socks.
What will the weather be like?
Warm weather has been the norm in Skopje of late – temperatures are set to reach 21 degrees around kick-off time tonight.
How will the match be decided?
As last week, it’s a single-leg tie, so we must have a winner this evening, with extra time and penalties coming into play if required to decide who goes through. The winners will be at home to either Rostov or Maccabi Haifa next Thursday.
