Here is how we predict Tottenham Hotspur will line up against Borussia Dortmund this week:
Tottenham Hotspur kick off their latest Champions League campaign with a match against Borussia Dortmund at Wembley and Mauricio Pochettino’s side will be buzzing after their 3-0 victory away to Everton last time out.
Tottenham’s Harry Kane got off the mark with a brace against the Toffees and now that August is out the way, the England international is expected to start firing on all cylinders.
Tottenham’s Wembley struggles saw to their Champions League hopes last season and they have not started the new campaign in the best of form at their temporary home.
They will be hoping that changes against Dortmund, but the German club have some fine players at their disposal and Spurs will have to be at their best to get all three points.
In early team news, Tottenham are still without Erik Lamela, Danny Rose, Georges-Kevin N’Koudou and Victor Wanyama while Moussa Sissoko is rated at 75 per cent to recover from a minor calf injury.
Such is the importance of this match that Tottenham are expected to pick their strongest available side, as they bid to start as they will mean to go on in a group that also contains Real Madrid and Apoel Nicosia.
With all that in mind here is how we expect Tottenham to line up against the Bundesliga giants later this week, with a debut for summer signing Serge Aurier in place of Kieran Trippier and Heung-min Son replacing the suspended Dele Alli.
