Just under an 8000km round trip 3 days before Chelsea game.

Ouch! Definitely one for the youngsters to play.

Yeah they had to sell the likes of James Rodriguez and Falcao, but they seem to have recovered a bit.

Abdennour, Toulalan, El Sharrawy are all quality. Ricky Carvalho still going strong too.

Abdennour just signed for Valencia for up to €34m, that'll soften their defence a bit.

Anyone got a few quid spare??

That's actually not a bad price. 5 star hotel in Monaco and a flight with the team? Would be a good laugh i'd say.

All your food and drink sorted too...

Could bring a few expensive bottles of wine/champagne home!

Ballbag tonight, listed on BT Sport - 8:05. No nowt about them, which is more worrying. Many players haven't featured this season, tonight's the night to shine. Really looking forward to this seasons competition for a change.

Then a whopping four games in nine days, all at home and all televised. Bring it on.

Possibly the other Irish pikey stations might be showing it. I think Liverpool kick off earlier than our game, otherwise they'd have top billing.

Time for prediction, 2-0 to Spurs.

My line-up will be;

Vorm

Trip Fazio Wimmer Rose(need match fitness)

Bentaleb Dembele/Alli

Son Lamela Clinton

Kane

S: Chadli for Kane, Davies for Rose & Townsend for Son or Clinton.

please no more side way passes & one touch forward passes.

Ormus

Apparently Clinton still isn't ready to feature. I find it baffling really, do they not do pre-season training at Lyon?

I'd definitely start Alli and would love to see Pritchard play if he's fit.

I'd be tempted to start Chadli or Son up front and bring on Kane if necessary, but maybe it'd be better to start Kane and hopefully bring him off at half time after scoring a hattrick.

He must be nearing seeing first team action.

Wimmer, Trippier, Rose, Townsend, Lamela, Son all should be starting.

DubPerryman

I wouldn't underestimate this Qarabag side. Lately, they beat Young Boys of Bern home and away, I'm sure we all remember them?

They also went to Celtic Park and drew in Champions League qualifying.

I'd imagine they'll keep it tight and will be tough to break down. The WHL could get on our players backs, resulting in a bit more pressure.

As always, I'm hoping for an early goal.

I'd like to see Lamela in the centre of the three behind the striker. Pritchard and Townsend either side of him.

They also drew with Inter last season I think.

I'm expecting a bad performance from us, too many changes usually mean a lack of cohesion.

I expect a similar performance to what we saw at the stadium of light on Sunday... good in patches and we'll win by a single goal. I don't care what the result is as long as HK scores to be honest.
