Tottenham travel to take on Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League this evening…

Tottenham starting line-up: Lloris; Aurier, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Rose; Dier, Winks; Eriksen, Alli, Son; Kane.

Tottenham substitutes: Vorm, Foyth, Trippier, Davies, Dembele, Sissoko, Llorente.

Spurs are back in Champions League action this evening, and will be looking for a response having lost 2-0 away at North London rivals Arsenal on Saturday afternoon.

Mauricio Pochettino’s men are already through to the knockout stages of the Champions League after beating Real Madrid 3-1 last time out, but he has named all his big hitters in his side for tonight’s trip to Borussia Dortmund.

Pochettino appears to have switched to a 4-2-3-1 system, with Serge Aurier, Davinson Sanchez, Jan Vertonghen and Danny Rose across the back four, protecting goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.

Eric Dier and Harry Winks feature in midfield, with Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli and Son Heung-min supporting lone striker Harry Kane in attack.

That means that Mousa Dembele has been dropped to the bench after a disappointing display against Arsenal, with Ben Davies, Moussa Sissoko and Kieran Trippier also dropping down from the starting line-up.

Joining them on the bench are Michel Vorm, Juan Foyth and Fernando Llorente, with Pochettino naming a strong starting line-up and substitutes bench
