Reporter's view: Eyeing a second appearance in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, Tottenham approach this return leg in fine fettle. The defence is settled, even without the injured Toby Alderweireld, and there are plenty of options further forward. With Mauricio Pochettino's side boasting two away goals, Juventus – hit by injuries – will be forced to start on the front foot. That will play into the hands of Tottenham, who have been prolific at Wembley this season.
Possible line-ups
Tottenham: Lloris; Trippier, Sánchez, Vertonghen, Davies; Dier, Dembélé; Son, Alli, Eriksen; Kane
Out: Aurier (suspended), Alderweireld (hamstring)
Misses next match if booked: none
Juventus: Buffon; Lichtsteiner, Benatia, Chiellini, Alex Sandro; Khedira, Pjanić, Matuidi; Dybala, Douglas Costa, Higuaín

Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham manager
We are going to face one of the best teams in the history of football – a team that have played two Champions League finals in the last three years. It will be a fantastic battle. If we perform to our best then we have a chance of winning. I am a dreamer and every chance that you have to play, you need to try to win and go as far as possible.
Massimiliano Allegri, Juventus coach
We have to put in a performance and get a result, otherwise we'll be going out. We have to be very positive. They like to keep possession, keep the ball moving and we need to disrupt that. These games at the highest level are all about taking your chances. I don't know how Spurs are going to play, but we'll have to be a lot better technically than in the first leg.
