Tottenham Hotspur welcome Serie A giants Juventus to Wembley on Wednesday evening for their Champions League last-16 second leg, and Mauricio Pochettino is expected to make just one change from the side that beat Huddersfield at the weekend.

The two sides met in Turin for the first leg on the 13th of February, and Juventus took an early 2-0 lead before Spurs fought back to secure a valuable 2-2 draw.

Meanwhile, Spurs comprehensively outclassed Huddersfield on Saturday and ran out comfortable 2-0 winners, with Son Heung-Min scoring both goals.

The South Korea international opened the scoring when he ran on to a pinpoint through ball from Dele Alli before rounding the goalkeeper and slotting into the far corner past a retreating defender.

Spurs were on top throughout the match and were denied a penalty when Son was grabbed around the waist by Terence Kongolo, but eventually grabbed a second on 54 minutes.

Striker Harry Kane drove down the right flank before whipping in a sumptuous early cross for Son, who cushioned a header into the far corner.

That win solidified Spurs’ position in the top four of the Premier League table after Chelsea lost to Manchester City on Sunday, with the Blues now five points behind after 29 games.

Attention now turns to Juventus, who are coming in off the back of three consecutive 1-0 wins since the first-leg draw.

This is Futbol have selected the Spurs expected XI v Juventus, including just one change from the side that beat Huddersfield on Saturday.
