Tottenham travel to Red Star Belgrade.

Tottenham Hotspur demolished Red Star Belgrade at home in their Champions League game a fortnight ago.

The 5-0 win was one better than Liverpool managed against the Serbians last season at Anfield, with Jurgen Klopp’s side winning 4-0.

The away game was more difficult for Liverpool, with Red Star winning 2-0.

Red Star are hoping that the date November 6 will be lucky, with Spurs taking them on exactly one year to the day of the Serbian’s victory over Liverpool.

The big advantage Red Star have at home is the intimidating atmosphere.

Players have to walk through an underground tunnel from the changing rooms to the pitch, with The Telegraph describing it as ‘terrifying’ for opponents.

Red Star defender Milos Degenek told the Liverpool Echo that James Milner was left in awe of the cauldron of noise from the stands.

He said: “I think Liverpool underestimated us and consequently paid for that mistake.

“I spoke with Milner in the tunnel and he told me he’d never experienced anything like the noise coming from above the tunnel.”

Tottenham’s away record this season has been terrible, in fact it goes back further. Spurs haven’t won away in the whole of 2019.

If they are not careful they could lose this game before it has even begun.

Coming through this match with a victory would be a big result for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
