Tottenham Hotspur face a huge clash with Borussia Dortmund tonight as they attempt to reach the Champions League quarter-finals.Spurs’ involvement in the competition this season has been dramatic to say the least, staging a near miracle comeback to take their place in the round of 16.
5Best ever Champions League round of 16 matches
In recent weeks, Tottenham have used several different starting formations and against the Foxes on Sunday they swapped to a back-three for the final third of the game, and even changed systems slightly during this spell.So, how could they look? talkSPORT.com takes a look.
4-4-2 (diamond)
5For quite a lot of the campaign, Pochettino has favoured a narrow midfield and an extra forward so we sense there is a good chance he’ll opt for this again.Spurs started like this against Leicester City and created chances but the Argentine may opt to pick Lucas Moura and Heung-Min Son together, ahead of Fernando Llorente, to give his side more threat on the counter.As Danny Rose is absent from the start, Jan Vertonghen could play at left-back again, as he did against Newcastle United.Eric Dier would come in for starlet Oliver Skipp, pushing Harry Winks towards the left.4-3-3
5Like it or not, Llorente has, despite looking a level below his team-mates at times, has notched two goals and made three assists in his last five games and may be key up against youngster Abdou Diallo and Omer Toprak.If he can hold the ball up for Christian Eriksen and Heung-Min Son then Spurs could benefit from his presence on the pitch.The attacking midfielder duo would, though, be operating in wider roles and this could stifle some creativity and see Spurs try and counter their opponents more often than not.3-4-2-1
5Towards the end of the match with Leicester City, Pochettino moved to this formation as he attempted to see the match which may point to him using it against Dortmund.If so, the way it allowed the Foxes’ three-man midfield to control the game will be a huge worry for Spurs fans.Moving to this formation would likely see Kyle Walker-Peters come in for Danny Rose with Jan Vertonghen at left centre-back.Elsewhere, Harry Winks and Moussa Sissoko would hold the central areas with Christian Eriksen and Heung-Min Son attempting to disrupt Dortmund’s passing.3-5-2
5With Tottenham losing control in midfield against Leicester on Sunday following their switch to a back-three, Pochettino, slipped Victor Wanyama in for Fernando Llorente and made the two-man midfielder a three-man one.This got Spurs back on an even keel and something similar could work against Dortmund with either Son or Llorente dropping deep to cover Axel Witsel or his midfield partner when they’re defending.Tottenham team news: How Spurs could line up vs Borussia Dortmund Mauricio Pochettino has a few players battling for fitness ahead of the European clash at Wembley
