However, things are rarely simple for Roeder's men and an early goal for the hosts would increase the tension among Newcastle fans, meaning a solid defensive display from the likes of Titus Bramble and Steven Taylor is a must if they are to succeed.

Plovdiv's former president Georgi Iliev was shot dead last month, only minutes after seeing his side qualify for this competition, and the home players will be determined to overcome the Premiership club in honour of their former employer.

Alkmaar boss Louis van Gaal is regarded as one of the finest coaches in the world, boasting a number of managerial honours to his name, including the UEFA Cup, which he won with Ajax in 1992 - and the battle of wits between himself and Roeder will add extra interest to an already intriguing tie. Commentary by John Helm and Joe Royle

• Newcastle United v Heerenveen

  Newcastle United v Heerenveen (Kick-off 7.45pm). The third-round second-leg tie at St James' Park, where the hosts will be looking to see off their Dutch opponents and book their place in the last 16. A 2-1 victory in Holland has given the Magpies some breathing space as they came from behind courtesy of goals by Alan Shearer and Lee Bowyer, although Bowyer's sending-off gives Graeme Souness a problem in an already injury hit midfield. In the event of extra-time and penalties, subsequent programmes are subject to change

• Newcastle United v Marseille

  Newcastle United v Marseille (Kick-off 7.45pm). The semi-final first-leg encounter at St James' Park, where the hosts will be hoping to avoid conceding an away goal before they head to France in a fortnight for the return fixture.

• Newcastle United v Zulte Waregem

  Newcastle United v Zulte Waregem (Kick-off 7.45pm). Colin Murray presents coverage of the last-32 second-leg encounter at St James' Park. The Magpies' form has been massively inconsistent this season, but even the most sceptical of their fans will be confident of seeing Glenn Roeder's side progress, after their comfortable 3-1 victory in the opening leg. Antoine Sibierski has been indispensable to Roeder's side this season due to the injury crisis among Newcastle's strikers and he scored the crucial third goal in the first leg that should ensure the Magpies go through to the last 16. However, an early goal for the unfancied Belgians would change the whole complexion of this tie, and Roeder will be sure to urge caution during the early exchanges. Commentary by John Helm.

Spurs have averaged over two goals a game in their six matches so far and will need that sort of form to continue if they are to advance past this round, as their opponents are also a free-scoring outfit and at the time boast one of the best defensive records in Europe.

Commentary by Dave Woods

• Slavia Prague v Aston Villa

  Slavia Prague v Aston Villa (Kick-off 7.45pm). Colin Murray introduces coverage of this evening's Group F encounter at the Stadion Eden, the second game of both teams' campaigns.

These sides last met in this competition during the 1984/85 season, when Spurs claimed a 9-0 aggregate victory, with Garth Crooks scoring a hat-trick at White Hart Lane.

• Sporting Lisbon v Newcastle United

  Sporting Lisbon v Newcastle United (Kick-off 8.15pm).

They'll be eager to recapture their former glory, but face a tough test against Gerard Houllier's men who have a good record in the tournament after winning in 2001 and reaching the quarter-finals last year

• Steaua Bucharest v Middlesbrough

  Steaua Bucharest v Middlesbrough (Kick-off 6.45pm). Coverage of the semi-final first-leg at the Lia Manoliu Stadium, where Steve McClaren's men will be hoping to net an away goal to bring back to the Riverside.

Commentary from John Helm and Terry Butcher

• Torpedo Moscow v Ipswich Town

  Torpedo Moscow v Ipswich Town (Kick-off 6.00pm). Coverage of this evening's first-round second-leg clash at the Luzhniki stadium.

Coverage of the final Group B match at White Hart Lane, where Martin Jol will expect another home victory as Spurs look to move into the knockout stages on a high.

• Tottenham Hotspur v Sevilla

  Tottenham Hotspur v Sevilla (Kick-off 7.45pm). Matt Smith is joined by Andy Townsend and Robbie Earle to present coverage of the second leg of this quarter-final tie at White Hart Lane, as Spurs look to dispose of the current holders. Martin Jol's men trail 2-1 from the first leg but their away goal could make all the difference, and a 1-0 victory here would see them through to the semi-finals. However, the hosts will need to keep tabs on former striker Frederic Kanoute tonight, as the Mali international is La Liga's leading scorer this season and is keen to add another European medal to the one he won with the Andalusia side last term. Commentary by Peter Drury and David Pleat. Subsequent programmes subject to change

• Tottenham Hotspur v Slavia Prague

  Tottenham Hotspur v Slavia Prague (Kick-off 8.00pm). All the action from the first-round second-leg clash at White Hart Lane, where Spurs hold a 1-0 lead from the first leg.

In the event of extra-time and penalties, subsequent programmes are subject to change

• Tottenham Hotspur v Sporting Braga

  Tottenham Hotspur v Sporting Braga (Kick-off 8.15pm). Matt Smith introduces coverage of the second leg of this evening's last-16 tie at White Hart Lane, where a place in the quarter-finals awaits. Spurs are in an excellent position to seal progress following their 3-2 victory in the first leg and boss Martin Jol won't expect his side to encounter too many problems, considering their fine home form. Robbie Keane was the hero in Portugal last week, snatching the winner in injury time to put his team in the driving seat, while Aaron Lennon also featured prominently and Jol will hope to see both cause problems for the visitors' defence this evening. Commentary by Jon Champion and Jim Beglin, with analysis from Andy Townsend and Robbie Earle. Subsequent programmes are subject to change

• Tottenham Hotspur v Wisla Krakow

  Tottenham Hotspur v Wisla Krakow (Kick-off 8.10pm). Coverage of this evening's first-round first-leg encounter at White Hart Lane.

• VfB Stuttgart v Middlesbrough

  VfB Stuttgart v Middlesbrough (Kick-off 7.45pm). John Barnes and Colin Murray introduce coverage of the first leg of this evening's last-32 encounter in the UEFA Cup at the Gottlieb Daimler Stadion. The Germans were making headlines in the Champions League just two seasons ago, reaching the last 16 of Europe's premier club competition before narrowly losing to Chelsea, and are likely to prove tough opposition for Steve McClaren's men, who are suffering a poor run of form at present. Commentary by Pat Nevin

• Villarreal v Middlesbrough

John Barnes introduces this evening's Group E encounter at the Estadio El Madrigal, where Steve McClaren's men know a victory would seal their place in the next round.

• Vitoria Guimaraes v Bolton Wanderers

  Vitoria Guimaraes v Bolton Wanderers (Kick-off 8.00pm). John Barnes presents coverage of the UEFA Cup Group H match at the Estadio Dom Afonso Henriques in Portugal. The Trotters have started the group stages in fine style with a win and a draw from their opening two matches and another victory could be enough to see them qualify for the knockout phase with a game to spare. Their Portuguese opponents started their campaign with a defeat and are desperate for three points, but to gain them, they'll have to find a way past Jussi Jaaskelainen in the Bolton goal. Commentary by John Helm

• Xanthi v Middlesbrough

  Xanthi v Middlesbrough (Kick-off 7.00pm). Coverage of the first-round second-leg tie at Xanthi Stadium, where Boro will be looking to defend a 2-0 lead from the first leg at the Riverside. Goals by George Boateng and Mark Viduka were enough to give Steve McClaren's men a comfortable lead at the halfway stage of this fixture, and the hosts need former Boro midfielder Emerson to dictate the game if they are to have any chance of progressing to the group phase. In the event of extra-time and penalties, subsequent programmes are subject to change

• Zulte Waregem v Newcastle United

  Zulte Waregem v Newcastle United (Kick-off 7.45pm). Colin Murray hosts this evening's last-32 first-leg encounter at the Regenboogstadion, where the teams meet for the first time. The Magpies enjoyed a 10-2 aggregate win when they last faced Belgian opposition in this competition, thrashing Royal Antwerp during the 1994/95 season. Glenn Roeder knows that European success could save him from the chop if their league form doesn't improve, and he will look to big-money signing Obefemi Martins to get a crucial away goal for his team.
