Watch an Antwerp v Tottenham Hotspur live stream, BT Sport, Thursday 29 October, 5.55pm BST
Tottenham face a potential banana skin when they travel to Belgium on Thursday to take on an in-form Antwerp side.
Spurs cruised to a 3-0 win over LASK on the opening day of their Europa League campaign and would take a firm grip on top spot with a win.
Their hosts beat Ludogorets Razgrad in Bulgaria last week, and have been scoring for fun in a four-match winning run domestically.
Antwerp sit on top of the Belgian first division table after 10 games and have scored 13 goals in their last four matches.
Goals haven’t exactly been a problem for Spurs recently, either. Before they edged past Burnley with a 1-0 Premier League victory on Monday evening, Jose Mourinho’s side had struck a remarkable 19 times in four games.
This will be the first meeting between the two sides in European competition.
Jordan Lukaku and Abdoulaye Seck could return for the home side after recovering from Covid-19, but Dylan Batubinsika and Manuel Benson have now tested positive and Bruny Nsimba is injured.
Tottenham could miss Eric Dier and Japhet Tanganga, but Gareth Bale could be handed another start after getting an opportunity in the opening day win over LASK.
Kick-off is at 5.55pm BST and the game is being shown on BT Sport 2 in the UK. See below for watching details where you are.
Use a VPN to watch an Antwerp v Tottenham Hotspur live stream from outside your country
We know, we know, this has crept up on you a bit. So what if you’ve organised a quick winter break and you’re out of the country for the first Champions League week of the season?
We can help. If you’re out of the country for this round of Champions League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address, and you’ll be blocked from watching.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there, including:
The recommended VPN of choice.

It also comes with that money-back guarantee, has 24/7 support, is currently available for a 49% discount and with three months FREE. Grand.
