Tottenham have announced a financial loss of nearly 64-million pounds to the year ending in June.

That's compared to a profit of nearly 69-million pounds the previous year.

Revenue from the Premier League was down due to the late finish of the season, while a last-16 Champions League exit resulted in significantly less prize money than reaching the final in 2019.

Tottenham's matchday takings were up, though, having played 14 top flight games at their new stadium before lockdown.

A win will see them move 10 points clear at the top of Conference B.

Kick off is at 8.15.
