Stephen Warnock on AC Milan v Tottenham Hotspur

Warnock said: “When I look at all the draws, I think Liverpool have got arguably the hardest draw of the teams, but I look at the rest of the teams, and I think you should progress.

“I don’t look at AC Mean and fear them. I know they are champions of their league, Serie A, but I don’t look at them and think that I don’t fancy them.”

Who will win?

In our view, Tottenham Hotspur cannot be complacent against AC Milan.

Yes, Tottenham topped their group, but they could have easily have been knocked out.

Spurs have not been very convincing in the UEFA Champions League, and they simply cannot head into the tie against Milan with complacency.

We think that Tottenham need to be realistic about their chances and have to take Milan seriously.
