Tottenham Hotspur travel to the Camp Nou for a crucial Champions League group-stage decider on Tuesday evening, and Mauricio Pochettino is expected to make four changes to his starting XI.
Spurs know they must match Inter Milan’s result at home against PSV Eindhoven to progress to the knockout stages, with a win guaranteeing them a place in the next round regardless of what happens in Italy.
Tottenham will come into this one high on confidence following successive wins which have restored them into third place in the Premier League table after a damaging loss to bitter rivals Arsenal.
In goal, Hugo Lloris is expected to start as normal.
Two changes are expected in front of him with 5’8″ flyer Kyle Walker-Peters [Transfermarkt] likely get a rare start in place of the injured Serge Aurier at right-back, while Danny Rose comes in for Ben Davies on the other flank. Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld are expected to retain their spots in the middle.
A holding midfield duo of Eric Dier and Moussa Sissoko is expected to start, with both players giving Spurs a big presence in that area.
Two further changes are expected in attack, with big guns Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen replacing Harry Winks and Lucas Moura in the XI, with Dele Alli and Son Heung-min both keeping their places.
