Predicted Tottenham XI: Borussia Dortmund (H)

Tottenham take on Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday evening at Wembley Stadium in the first leg of their Round of 16 clash. Spurs are coming off the back of a good run of results in the Premier League and will be looking to continue their form.

Having faced the Bundesliga leaders in last season’s Champions League group stage, Spurs should be confident in their ability to beat Dortmund over two legs this time around.

Having beat Dortmund 3-1 and 2-1 last season you’d think that Spurs would be happy and comfortable coming into this tie. But since the emergence of Jadon Sancho and the signing of Paco Alcacer; Dortmund have played their way to the top of the German first division in style.

Both Dele Alli and Harry Kane set to miss the first leg on Wednesday and Marco Rues has been ruled out due to an injury also; this fixture could be the one to watch in this round of Champions League fixtures.

Here is how we think the Lilley Whites could line up:
