Is Atletico v Tottenham on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Champions League tie | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur will bid to arrest their remarkable collapse in form with a trip to Atletico in the Champions League.

Igor Tudor’s side may be facing the ignominy of a relegation battle but so far they have performed significantly better than expected in Europe, as they did last season under Ange Postecoglou, winning the Europa League even as they finished 17th domestically.

Now in the Champions League, they finished fourth in the league phase to progress automatically to the last 16, and now take on Diego Simeone’s Atletico in the first leg of their last-16 tie.

After a run of five straight defeats in all tournaments and 11 top-flight games without a win, Tottenham will be desperate to turn things around.

And while leaky Atletico may not be the toughest of opponents, having conceded five goals in their last two games, they are at least capable of playing at home, with four straight wins on the board. Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.

When is Atletico v Tottenham?

Atletico host Tottenham at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano in Madrid on Tuesday 10 March, with kick-off at 8pm GMT.

How can I watch it?

Viewers in the UK can watch the game on TNT Sports 1 and subscription service discovery+, with TNT Sports coverage beginning at 7pm GMT.

Team news

The positive news for Tottenham is they may be bolstered by some returns from injury: Djed Spence may be fit to feature after a calf injury, and Radu Dragusin, who missed the previous game with a knock, will be assessed, although the game may come too soon for Destiny Udogie.

Micky van de Ven - who was sent off against Crystal Palace midweek, precipitating a complete Spurs collapse - will be available, and Cristian Romero is another to have served a suspension domestically and is eligible to play.

Simeone may be without January signing Rodrigo Mendoza, who picked up an ankle issue in their previous game against Real Sociedad, but other than that Atletico are expected to field a full-strength side.
