Jose Mourinho will aim to take Tottenham into the Champions League knockout stages by beating Olympiakos in his first home match in charge.
Mourinho, who won the tournament with Porto and Inter Milan, replaced the sacked Mauricio Pochettino last week and won 3-2 at West Ham on Saturday.
Spurs are second in Group B and will qualify if they beat the Greek side.
"With these boys I will never be afraid of a Champions League match," said Mourinho.

Tottenham reached last season's final, losing 2-0 to Liverpool, but made a bad start to the 2019-20 tournament as they threw away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 away against Olympiakos and then lost 7-2 at home to group leaders Bayern Munich.
But back-to-back wins over Red Star Belgrade - 5-0 at home and 4-0 away in Serbia - leaves Spurs needing one more victory to take them into the knockout phase for a third successive season.
Mourinho won the Champions League with Porto in 2003-04 and with Inter Milan in 2009-10
"We need to qualify," added Mourinho. "It's only when my teams arrive in the quarter-finals that I start thinking 'we have a chance'. In this moment we are far from it.
"Every Champions League campaign there are details around your success or failure. How many times I lost on penalties or in the last minute. Details make the difference.
"As for Spurs last season, they had little details for them. VAR [Video Assistant Referee] was with them [against Manchester City], the Lucas [Moura] goal in Amsterdam [against Ajax]. To arrive in the final is an achievement but not history.
"I love the competition as much as everyone in football. Not everyone has the privilege of being a Champions League winner. I have done it two times and would love to add a third."
Tottenham will be without defender Ben Davies, who has an ankle injury.
Olympiakos are top of the Greek Super League but are bottom of Group B with only one point from four games.
