FC Tokyo, leaders of Group F from Ulsan Hyundai on goal difference at the halfway stage of qualification for the knockout rounds, face Beijing Guoan at the Ajinmoto Stadium on Tuesday, and Ranko Popović’s men will be hoping to respond positively to the weelend’s surprise defeat in J.League Division 1 at home to Kashima Antlers.

Join me from 11:00 BST/19:00 JST as the live blog gets underway with team news, with kick-off scheduled for 11:30 BST/19:30 JST. A win for FC Tokyo and a win for Ulsan Hyundai, who are away to Brisbane Roar, would practically guarantee both teams’ entry into the latter stages of the tournament with two further group games remaining.
