Tottenham Hotspur and Borussia Dortmund go head-to-head this week:
Tottenham Hotspur travel to Germany this week to take on Borussia Dortmund in their latest Champions League clash, and Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino may make some changes with his team already sure of a place in the knockout rounds.
Tottenham’s impressive victory against Real Madrid last time out means the North London club cannot finish lower than second, but they will no doubt want to go one better and put the Spanish giants in their place in the process.
Pochettino’s side defeated Dortmund in the reverse fixture earlier this season and they will be quietly confident of picking up another three points if they play to their full potential.
In early team news Tottenham are without Toby Alderweireld and Victor Wanyama, while Erik Lamela has only just returned to under-23 action after 13 months on the side-lines.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham go strong for this clash, with qualification already secured and some important Premier League games on the horizon.
They are even more vital after Spurs lost 2-0 to fierce rivals Arsenal at the weekend, with Pochettino not wanting to lose more ground on the Manchester clubs and Chelsea.
With all that in mind here is how we expect Tottenham will line up against Dortmund later this week:
