Spurs 90 minute test comes in the shape of what was a sleeping giant. Italian side, Inter Milan. The reverse tie saw Mauricio travel and take the lead in vain.

Time for his side to repay him after a disappointing start against this side. With Barcelona already qualifying for the next phase, there’s only one qualifying spot left to play for.

Will the Tottenham manager stick with the weekend’s lineup? Or will he opt for a change and see Kane take the reins up front alone? I feel he’ll go with a similar lineup, maybe letting Erik Lamela walk into the side, or see Lucas Moura get a start.

Danny Rose is fit and could be involved when the two meet later this evening. Mauricio has options, which is important in this heavy run. He might get the same output as Saturday past – just as previously when fatigue set in after the World Cup, forcing bad results and some unwanted injuries.

Spurs seem in a solid way and a big win is needed to over jump Inter in this one. A goal difference of -2 separates the two clubs in search of that last and final spot. Two goals make it interesting, three goals set Spurs’ Champions League alight.

Score prediction
Tottenham 2-1 Inter Milan
