The visitors managed to find themselves embroiled in one of the more bizarre stories of transfer deadline day, as an outrageous series of events saw them somehow retain the services of Bamba Dieng despite agreeing on his departure several times. To top it all of, Dieng hasn’t even been included in his side’s Champions League squad. Les Phocéens have started their domestic campaign superbly - picking up five wins and a draw through six matches, conceding just three times and keeping three consecutive clean sheets. The almost unbelievable sequence of events, which couldn’t even be solved by Ligue 1’s ‘Joker’ transfer rule, led to Dieng remaining at Les Olympiens until at least January unless a side from a country with an open transfer market makes a move.

Tottenham haven’t drawn many this year, but they’re far superior to the level of opposition that Marseille have faced so far and have some serious attacking threats in their squad, so should make life difficult for the visitors.

Tottenham Hotspur returns to the UEFA Champions League for the first time since the 2019-20 season when it hosts Marseille on Wednesday.

Marseille will likely play a 3-4-2-1 formation. This will be Tottenham’s first UCL match since bowing out to RB Leipzig in the 2019-20 tournament. Marseille qualified via a second-place finish in Ligue 1, 15 points behind Paris Saint-Germain and two clear of third-place AS Monaco. The club is owner by former Los Angeles Dodgers boss Frank McCourt and is loaded with names familiar to the Premier League: Eric Bailly, Alexis Sanchez, Nuno Tavares, Dimitri Payet, and Matteo Guendouzi amongst others. Since then, Spurs went to the Europa League Round of 16 and bowed out of the Europa Conference League in the group stage.

Tottenham vs Marseille: Arsenal cast-offs out to foil Spurs with ... (Evening Standard)

European nights at Tottenham are generally special, and their return to the Champions League tonight should have the added feel of a local derby.

We’re going to bridge the gap to the best teams in Europe and in England, but step by step. “But we know there is still a gap for improvement, and it demands a lot of effort and focus from all the players. If there is a theme to Tudor’s group, it is one of talented but unpredictable mavericks who have found a home at a club where chaos often reigns. They are one of the biggest French clubs, especially in European history. “It’s a long time ago for me, but when you play in France, every time you face Marseille it’s always a big game. It’s a team that will come to us to display their ambitions.”

Tottenham vs Marseille live: score and latest updates from the ... (Telegraph.co.uk)

And welcome to live coverage of Tottenham Hotspur v Marseille in the Champions League. It's Spurs' first game in this competition since March 2020, ...

Conte has never gone beyond the last eight, and in three out of five seasons his teams have failed to get out of the group. Eintracht Frankfurt, Sporting CP and tonight’s opponents Marseille are Spurs' competition for a place in the last 16. Igor Tudor's Marseille are second in Ligue 1, behind PSG only on goal difference; they have also finished as runners-up in two of the last three seasons. They return with a new manager, a bigger squad and greater expectations – if not of winning the thing, then at least of having a decent run. That aside, it was a scruffy attacking performance from the home side. The end of a forgettable first half. That was pretty ambitious, and not in a good way. It was poor judgement from Mbemba, who lunged at the ball even though Son was favourite to get there first. Lovely play from Kulusevski, who gallops round the back of the defence, hugging the ball on his left foot, and pokes a cross that bundled behind for a corner. Marseille wanted a foul for a push on Gigot, but there was nothing in it. A goalkick is given but that definitely came off Balerdi. Spurs fans are really going to enjoy him over the next few years.

LIVE: Follow all the action right here as Tottenham take on Marseille in their first Champions League Group D game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Italian coach will be hoping to reap those rewards with a strong showing in the competition, starting on Wednesday. Conte does have 12 options on his bench tonight and we could very well see a few of them if everything goes to plan for the Lilywhites. They've started the new one just as strong, sitting joint-top with PSG having secured five wins and one draw from their opening six fixtures. That in itself does hint at his team for Saturday's trip to Man City as the duo will likely come in for Clement Lenglet and Richarlison. However, they are back under new management, with former Juventus player Igor Tudor having made an unbeaten start to life as the manager. There is no place for Ben Davies and Dejan Kulusevski in the team once again, though, as both are named on the bench. Unbeaten in the Premier League so far this campaign, [Conte's](https://www.football.london/all-about/antonio-conte) men will be hoping to carry on from where they left off against Fulham at the weekend and produce another eye-catching display. However, it won't be straightforward at all with Marseille winning five and drawing one of their first six Ligue 1 games in 2022/23. Antonio Conte was never going to make wholesale changes and his selection highlights how seriously he is taking this evening's game. The Marseille boss has opened up on his old teammate and joked about why his team didn't train at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the eve of the clash. Speaking of the latter, it is a huge game for the Brazilian as his dream of playing in the Champions League comes true. (18+, new customers only, T&C’s)

Tottenham Hotspur vs. Marseille live score, updates, highlights ... (Sporting News)

Antonio Conte's Tottenham Hotspur start their 2022/23 Champions League campaign at home to Ligue 1 side Marseille.

They are comfortable on the ball and are pressing high and hard when they are out of possession. 75 mins to KO: Conte doesn’t have the best of records as a manager in the Champions League. Marseille have dominated possession, but have created little while Tottenham have been off the pace and have also struggled in the attacking third. 30 mins: Half an hour gone at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and the home team have yet to get going. Son is played in behind, he has the pace to beat his man, he gets to the ball first and is through on goal, but Mbemba brings him down and the referee shows him a straight red card! They have nipped any Spurs momentum in the bud and have taken control of possession again. The cross into the middle found Richarlison unmarked and the Brazilian heads into the back of the net! 75 mins: Marseille are using every trick in the book to wind down the clock here. This time it's Hojbjerg who sends the cross into the middle and the Brazilian glances home a header off the inside of the post. 87 mins: Son is still waiting for that first goal of the season and he looked low on confidence this evening. 90+2 mins: In a sense, this result is tough on Marseille who dominated large periods of the first half. Son is still waiting for his first goal of the season and his performance in this match didn't offer many hints that it is coming any time soon.

Tottenham vs Marseille player ratings: Richarlison proves his worth ... (iNews)

The Brazilian scored two headers in quick succession to give Spurs the perfect start on their return to the competition after a two-year absence.

It was far from a vintage display, but Conte’s team has made a habit, whether by accident or design, of getting caught in a storm before picking the optimum moment to run for cover. Tudor, a long-time ally of Antonio Conte’s at Juventus, warned pre-match that Marseille were not just going to Tottenham to “look around the stadium”. Over the past two years, Marseille have purpose built a squad to fit the needs of two managers with a penchant for pressing – first Jorge Sampaoli and then Igor Tudor. Tottenham’s Ligue 1 opponents had a distinctly English football flavour to them. The visitors had graced this stage more recently than their hosts, finishing bottom of a group containing Manchester City in 2020-21. It took them four to get their first in 2018-19 when they reached the final.

Richarlison's first Tottenham goals punish Marseille for Mbemba's ... (The Guardian)

Richarlison scored twice to give Tottenham a 2-0 victory on their return to the Champions League against a Marseille side that had Chancel Mbemba sent off.

Fed by Son on the right-hand side of the area, he was confronted by Eric Bailly. Antonio Conte’s team struggled to muster pressure on the ball and it was a good thing for them that Hugo Lloris got down to beat away a Matteo Guendouzi drive on 45 minutes. And yet the first-half would end with a smattering of boos from the Spurs support. Marseille have 12 players with past or current links to Premier League clubs and 11 of them were in the match-day squad. There would be angry exchanges in the stands upon the full-time whistle, Marseille fans clashing with the police, who had arrived to keep them apart from their Spurs counterparts. It was a dreadful misjudgment by the former Newcastle centre-half.
