Tottenham tonight return to action with a trip to face Sporting CP in the Champions League group stage.
Following the postponement of their weekend game against Manchester City, Antonio Conte takes his side to Portugal in a game confirmed by the club as going ahead.
The early evening kick-off pits Spurs against the other side in Group D to have won their opening game as Lisbon crushed Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany. It has otherwise been a mixed season for the club, which sits fifth in the Primeira Liga table.
A late brace from Richarlison earned Tottenham a win against Marseille last time out with Conte’s men still yet to lose this season.

Spurs should not worry about rust after receiving what could prove to be a welcome moment of respite in their busy schedule. Some may settle for a point in Lisbon but the Premier League club should have too much for their opponents.
