Tottenham face CSKA in the second game of the Champions League group stage on September 27, 2016. Here’s all the info you need to watch the game online.
Despite being hit by injuries early and often this season, Tottenham find themselves in second place in the Premier League, coming off a 2-1 away win at Middlesbrough. Things haven’t gotten off to the same bright start on the continental stage, with a 2-1 home defeat to Monaco in their Champions League debut. Spurs travel to Moscow without injured Harry Kane, left back Danny Rose and midfielders Eric Dier, Mousa Dembele and Moussa Sissoko. With a decimated midfield, Spurs will need an outstanding performance from the back line and some magic from Delle Alli, Erik Lamela and Heung-Min Son. The Korean has taken advantage of the increased playing time, with four goals to his name, leading the Premier League in goal efficiency with a goal every 68 minutes of playing time.

Awaiting Tottenham is a full-strength CSKA Moscow side and 30,000 rowdy muscovites. With one away point to show for after their 2-2 tie in Leverkusen, CSKA is looking to take advantage of the home field and the depleted Spurs side. A win puts the Russian champions in great shape to advance from the group stage, and really cripples the Spurs chances to bring Champions League soccer to White Hart Lane in the spring.
