Dortmund v Tottenham Team News

Spurs have a solid 95 per cent chance of progress to take to the return leg in Dortmund after second-half goals from Son Heung-min, Jan Vertonghen and Fernando Llorente inflicted Dortmund's heaviest defeat all season, which has left the German leaders almost inevitably hoping for a miracle on Tuesday night.

Things haven't been plain sailing for both teams since they met: Mauricio Pochettino's men had a tough challenge in the Premier League when they had to play Chelsea and Arsenal in a three day's time after having fallen to Burnley 2-1 earlier - and didn't cope, losing 2-0 at the Stamford Bridge before playing a score draw against the Gunners.

Despite Lucien Favre's side winning 3-2 to Bayern Leverkusen, they made two trips to Nurnberg and Ausburg either side of that victory where Die Borussen took just one point courtesy of a goalless draw at Nurnberg, with the other game ending 2-1 not in Dortmund's favour.

Tottenham travel to Germany having suffered four away defeats in a row, three of those with the 2-1 scoreline, and in each of them Spurs have conceded 2 goals. They had not lost in the preceding 7 games (W6 D1) on the road before came this strange sequent of disappointing results for the London club.

Nevertheless, a 3-0 deficit is hard to overturn, especially in a competition that has seen only a few cases when this happened, so Dortmund must give their all against a side that contained Barcelona at Camp Nou back in the group stage.

Teams' Potential Starting Line-ups:

Dortmund (4-2-3-1): Burki; Guerreiro, Diallo, Akanji, Hakimi; Witsel, Delaney; Reus, Gotze, Sancho; Alcacer.

Tottenham (4-3-1-2): Lloris; Vertonghen, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Aurier; Skipp, Wanyama, Sissoko; Eriksen; Heung-Min, Kane.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Dortmund: Lukasz Piszczek.

Tottenham: Eric Dier, Dele Alli, Harry Winks.
