CSKA Moscow vs. Tottenhom 2016 live stream: Game time, TV schedule and how to watch Champions League online

It’s a big week in Spurs-land. Tottenham Hotspur have travelled to Russia to take on CSKA Moscow in the Champions League group stages, and they really need a result today after losing to Monaco at Wembley two weeks ago.

CSKA are probably one of the weaker teams (along with Leicester) that came out of Pot 1 in the UCL draw, but as they showed in coming back from a 2-0 deficit to draw with Bayer Leverkusen a few weeks ago, they’re not a team to be trifled with. They’re led by Alan Dzagoev and Roman Eremenko, the scorers against Bayern, and they have Russia #1 Igor Akenfeev between the sticks. Add also the fact that they’re pretty good at home and you’ve got yourselves a tough match ahead.

Reportedly about 300 Spurs fans have made the trip to Moscow to watch Spurs play, but they were advised to keep their heads down and not to show their team colors until they were inside the stadium by Tottenham officials. What with the violence inflicted by Russian fans at this summer’s EUROs in France, it’s a sensible precaution.

Tottenham brought a rotated side to Moscow, with Harry Kane and Moussa Sissoko still injured, and Mousa Dembele, Eric Dier, Danny Rose all left behind for precautionary purposes. There’s talk that Son Heung-Min, who has been on a extremely good run of form, might start at striker to give Vincent Janssen a rest ahead of Sunday’s match against Manchester City.

Spurs are in Russia. What could possibly go wrong?

COYS!
