OPINION

Tottenham fans have every right to be exciting or worried by the fact that Kyle Walker-Peters is set to start at right-back in the Champions League showdown with Barcelona on Tuesday night. With both Kieran Trippier and Serge Aurier injured, the 21-year-old fringe player will start for Spurs, according to manager Mauricio Pochettino. While Walker-Peters is one of the more exciting young players in North London, it will still be a massive test for the youngster, who will be making just his second start of the season and his first ever appearance in the Champions League. Yes, Walker-Peters has won the Under-20s World Cup, but that pales in comparison to this game that Spurs must basically win to keep qualification to the knock-out stages in their own hands. It looks like more Spurs fans are excited by the news than dreading it, which just shows how highly-rated Walker-Peters is among them.
