88' Tottenham quickly try and break on Antwerp but Lamela holds onto it for too long and the chance disappears.
86' The away side are continuing to throw everything at Antwerp to try and find an equaliser, but they're still lacking fluency in attack.
82' Tottenham continue to patiently probe with a series of passes on the edge of the box, but they can't find an opening and eventually, Lamela ends the move by conceding a free-kick.
80' Refaelov shimmies past Hojbjerg before slipping it to Buta who forces a corner. However, the resulting delivery is tame and Kane heads it away at the near post.
78' Antwerp are looking incredibly dangerous on the break as Spurs become more and more desperate to find an equaliser.
76' Brilliant block from Davies! Antwerp go close again as Verstraete rides a few challenges before cutting into the box and drilling a fizzing effort at goal that Davies does well to deflect away from harm with an outstretched leg!
74' Huge chance for Antwerp! Sanchez surrenders possession inside his own half, allowing Gerkens to slip Juklerod clean through on goal! However, despite being under little pressure, Gerkens completely loses his composure and lashes a wild shot over the bar from 18 yards!
72' Kane plays a deft pass to Son inside the area, but the attacker loses his footing and Antwerp clear.
68' Refaelov has been a constant threat so far and Spurs will need to be wary of him as they continue to chase the game; the attacker has had four shots and a key pass to add to his all-important goal.
66' The away side are just starting to look threatening for the first time today.
64' Son has the opportunity to slip Lamela through on goal, but the attacker dithers before hitting an awkward pass that promptly ends the move.
62' Brilliant block from Seck! Tottenham finally cut through Antwerp after a neat combination from Moura and Lamela, before the former squares it to Son inside the six-yard box where the attacker pokes it at goal only to be blocked by Seck!
60' Despite all these substitutions, Spurs are still looking unlikely to find an equaliser - Antwerp are currently holding them at bay fairly comfortably.
57' Juklerod overhits a cross that almost creeps under the bar, but Lloris anticipates it and tips it over the bar.
55' Seck is receiving treatment for an injury to his arm, but it looks as though he'll be able to continue.
53' Mbokani misses a huge chance! Refaelov bursts in behind the Tottenham defence before squaring it across the face of goal where Mbokani is on hand to slam an effort wide from close range! If that was on target it almost certainly would have gone in!
51' Lamela sweeps a dangerous delivery across goal towards Son but Butez authoritatively slides out to claim it.
48' Antwerp almost double their lead! Mbokani dispossesses Davies again before charging through on goal, only to be halted at the final moment after a brilliant slide tackle from Sanchez!
46' Spurs get the second half underway.
If Tottenham are to get back into this one they'll need to be more creative in the second period - so far, they've been content to shoot from distance when patience might have paid off.
Antwerp take a deserved lead heading into the break. Despite being the favourites, Tottenham have struggled so far; while they've moved possession into dangerous areas, they've largely been restricted to shots from distance. Antwerp, meanwhile, have defended well and when Mbokani slipped Refaelov through on goal they punished Spurs to ensure a 1-0 lead after 45 minutes.
45' + 1' HALF TIME: Antwerp 1-0 Tottenham
45' Miyoshi gets to the byline again before cutting it back towards Mbokani, only to see Davies hack it away from a corner that amounts to nothing.
43' Refaelov attempts to slalom into the area again, but Lo Celso recovers brilliantly and pokes it away from the attacker.
41' Miyoshi scurries down the right flank and gets to the byline before clipping in a dangerous cross that Lloris leaps to gather.
39' Tottenham take yet another shot from beyond 25 yards - this time, through Bale - and it predictably sails well over the bar.
37' The hosts have looked comfortable since taking the lead - Tottenham haven't really been able to muster any sort of response so far.
35' Antwerp fizz the ball around with a long spell of possession, before Juklerod's eventual cross is headed away by Sanchez.
33' Well, this has been the ideal start for Antwerp! They've defended well and restricted Tottenham to shots from distance and then when they managed to produce an opening themselves, they took it with real composure!
27' Tottenham have produced four shots so far, but they've all been from outside the box. The away side might want to be a little more patient if they want to cut through Antwerp, rather than just shooting on sight.
25' Alli sets Vinicius free with a delightful throughball, but the striker still has 30 yards to cover before entering the box and De Laet manages to get back and dispossess him.
23' Chance for Antwerp! Refaelov elegantly skips past the challenge of Winks before smashing a powerful volley over the bar from inside the box! If he could have kept that down Tottenham would have been in trouble!
21' Bergwijn and Lo Celso combine neatly on the edge of the area, allowing the former to drill a shot from 18 yards that goes a few yards wide.
18' Winks attempts an audacious volley from 20 yards but he skews it well wide.
17' Lo Celso is the latest player to try his luck from distance, but his curling effort sails comfortably into the arms of Butez.
15' Antwerp win the first corner of the game and it's swung into the near post where Gerkens rises to glance a header well wide.
13' Vinicius knocks down a long diagonal towards Alli and the attacker attempts to pass it back to Vinicius to set him through on goal, but Seck manages to intercept.
11' Both teams have struggled to find their rhythm so far and it's resulted in a fragmented game.
9' Alli jinks neatly past De Laet before attempting a clever reverse pass into the path of Vinicius that Gelin stretches to cut out.
7' Bale lashes a shot from 30 yards, but he doesn't get the contact he wanted and it trickles harmlessly wide.
5' This is the very first game between these sides in European competition. Royal Antwerp have been drawn with English opposition on two previous occasions, both in the UEFA Cup; they beat Aston Villa home and away in 1975-76 but were defeated home and away by Newcastle in 1994-95.
3' Refaelov quickly finds a pocket of space 30 yards from goal and he drives forward before hitting a wild shot high and wide.
1' Antwerp get the first half underway.
The players are emerging from the tunnel and kick off is just seconds away!
If they are to win today though, Tottenham will need to arrest a terrible recent run of form away from home in the competition. Spurs have managed just one win from their last eight away games in the UEFA Europa League (D2 L5), defeating FK Qarabag 1-0 in the 2015-16 group stages.
Spurs, on the other hand, make nine changes to the team that defeated Burnley on Monday – most likely due to the quick turnaround.
Antwerp are unchanged from the side that defeated Beerschot last time out.
