18:45 - Hi everyone I am Danial Kennedy and welcome to VAVEL's live commentary to Bayern Leverkusen - Tottenham Hotspur
With all that in mind stay tuned as we bring you the line-ups as they are announced around an hour before kick-off.
Predicted Tottenham Hotspur line-up: (4-2-3-1) Lloris; Walker, Dier, Vertonghen, Davies; Wanyama, Alli; Lamela, Eriksen, Son; Janssen.
Predicted Bayer Leverkusen line-up: (4-4-2) Leno; Henrichs, Tah, Toprak, Wendell; Brandt, Aranguiz, Kampl, Calhanoglu; Chicharito, Mehmedi.
One injury problem for Spurs is that of Alderweireld, who was forced off with a knee problem on Saturday at the Hawthorns. Adding to that, Harry Kane is also out, leaving Spurs needing players to step up in order to take all three points tonight.
In terms of injury problems for Leverksen, there are relatively few. They have their key players available for the game, although they are without Tin Jedvaj or Roberto Hilbert at right-back. That means young Benjamin Henrichs will continue in that role.
It'll be interesting to see how Heung-Min Son does tonight, having signed for Spurs from Bayer Leverkusen back in the summer of 2015. He's been brilliant recently, and deservedly picked up the Premier League Player of the Month award for September.
Tottenham's form going into this game has been excellent, and they'll be hoping that it can carry them to victory this evening. The Lilywhites are still yet to lose a Premier League game, and come into this one unbeaten in six. However, their confidence was dented a little at the weekend with a disappointing 1-1 draw at West Brom.
The first 15 minutes of Bayer's group stage was fantastic, as they raced into a 2-0 lead at home to CSKA. However, the hosts lost their concentration, eventually drawing 2-2 after being pinned back with two more first half goals. They threw another lead away in the second game of the group, after going ahead in France through Javier Hernandez. However, Monaco grabbed an equaliser deep into stoppage time thanks to Kamil Glik's stunning volley.
Neither side started their campaign's with the ideal result, especially Tottenham. They were defeated 2-1 at Wembley against AS Monaco, left dumbfounded by conceding two first half goals, with Toby Alderweireld's second half header not enough. However, they responded brilliantly away in Russia against CSKA in the next game, winning 1-0 thanks to a late goal from in-form man Heung-Min Son.
It's the third matchday of this season's Champions League group stage, so how have things gone so far in Group E? Spurs sit second on three points, whilst Bayer are a place down in third on two from their two games so far. AS Monaco lead the way with four points, whilst bottom placed CSKA Moscow have just the one, meaning it's all very tight so far.
Hello everyone and welcome to VAVEL UK's live minute-by-minute coverage of tonight's Champions League game between Bayer Leverkusen and Tottenham Hotspur. Kick-off in Germany is set for 19:45 BST, but stay with me - Danial Kennedy - until then as we build up to the game and get the team news.
