What we want, however, is a bit of a shock and some fun. The Azerbaijanis find themselves in Europe’s second tier after losing to Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League playoff 5-0 in aggregate, which indicates their level.

Qarabag has not arrived at the stadium yet…
Bad news! Kick-off has been delayed due to travel disruptions around the stadium.
Ange Postecoglou: “I’m excited to be back in Europe. I miss being there. The players are excited and want to leave a legacy.
“Whenever you play against continental opponents, it's a different job. It helps the team evolve.
“It’s going to be a great experience for the lads who will be on the night and I’m sure they’ll learn a lot.
“Not winning weighs on you. To get rid of that, you need to win things.”

preamble
Welcome to the start of Spurs' new European campaign. Where does it lead? No one knows. What is clear is the fact that tonight starts with the match against Qarabagh! Will Ange Postecoglou be rotated? Almost certainly. Will Spurs win? Almost certainly.
Spurs will want to use tonight to build momentum, as the weekend's long-awaited win against Brentford has been touted as the much-needed kickstart to Spurs' season.
But what we're looking for is a little shock and a little fun. Azerbaijan lost to Dinamo Zagreb 5-0 on aggregate in the Champions League play-offs, dropping them to Europe's second tier, which shows their level.
Kick-off: 8pm (BST)
