Tottenham Hotspur must be at their best to earn victory in Turin on Tuesday night as Mauricio Pochettino takes his side to Italy to face Juventus in the Champions League Round of 16 tie – and fans want Victor Wanyama to start.

Spurs come into the game off the back of a north London victory thanks to Harry Kane’s 32nd goal of the season, which proved enough to earn Pochettino’s side all three points at Wembley on Saturday.

Now, they face arguably an ever tougher task against Italian champions Juventus, who have conceded just one goal in their last 15 games in all competitions.

Wanyama, 25, has failed to start a single Premier League match since returning from a long-term knee injury on Boxing Day, but has appeared as a substitute in every single one of Spurs’ seven matches since then.

He came on for just five minutes of the north London derby but despite that, Spurs fans want to see the Kenya captain start against Massimilliano Allegri’s side on Tuesday night.

One fan even reckons Wanyama will put on a “masterclass” if he starts.
