Jose Mourinho will be pleased with his side's performance in the first half, although he might want to see a touch more of a killer instinct in the final. Carlos Vinicius in particular could have displayed more of a clinical edge. The second half should present a lot more opportunities.

1' We're underway at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
No team in UEFA Cup/Europa League history has overturned a three-goal deficit from the first leg at home during the knockout stages of the competition.
Wolfsberger have made seven changes to their side from their win over Sturm Graz. Kuttin gets the start between the posts, while Lochoshvili comes into the back three. Wernitznig, Stratznig and Scherzer start in a four-man midfield. Vizinger is joined in the final third by Dieng and Liendl.
Mourinho has made nine changes to his side that was beaten 2-1 against West Ham last time out. Only Dier and Lamela retain their spots in the side. Hart starts in goal as Hugo Lloris drops to the bench. Doherty, Alderweireld and Davies get the nod in the backline. Winks and Sissoko occupy the middle of the park. Alli, Moura and Vinicius all play in the final third. Kane and Son are among the substitutes.
WOLFSBERGER SUBS: Guram Giorbelidze, Stefan Peric, Mario Pavelic, Dejan Joveljic, Nemanja Rnic, Thorsten Rocher, David Skubl, Lukas Schofl, Matthaus Taferner, Alexander Kofler.
WOLFSBERGER (3-4-3): Manuel Kuttin; Dominik Baumgartner, Gustav Henriksson, Luka Lochoshvili; Michael Novak, Christopher Wernitznig, Kai Lukas Stratznig, Jonathan Scherzer; Dario Vizinger, Cheikhou Dieng, Michael Liendl.
TOTTENHAM SUBS: Hugo Lloris, Sergio Reguilon, Son Heung-min, Gareth Bale, Harry Kane, Japhet Tanganga, Lucas Moura, Tanguy Ndombele, Dane Scarlett, Marcel Livinier, Dilan Markanday, Nile John.
TOTTENHAM (4-2-3-1): Joe Hart; Matt Doherty, Toby Alderweireld, Eric Dier, Ben Davies; Moussa Sissoko, Harry Winks; Erik Lamela, Dele Alli, Steven Bergwijn; Carlos Vinicius.
Wolfsberger need to mount a serious comeback to defeat Tottenham and advance to the round of 16. They were soundly beaten 4-1 in the first leg and had no answer for the Premier League outfit. A late strike from Dario Vizinger handed Ferdinand Feldhofer's men a confidence-boosting win over Sturm Graz on Sunday, but the Austrian side know they need to be flawless tonight.
Tottenham have a foot in the next round of the competition, having beaten the Austrian outfit 4-1 in the first leg. The result provided respite for Spurs' poor run of form domestically where they have lost three out of their last four games. Jose Mourinho is beginning to come under pressure in the dugout after his side's defeat to West Ham United last time out. The Portuguese needs a strong run in the competition to stave off threat of the sack.
Good afternoon and welcome to the live commentary of the Europa League round-of-32 clash between Tottenham and Wolfsberger at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
