Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has picked his side which will face Ajax in the Champions League semi final first leg at the new stadium this evening.
It is the biggest game in Tottenham’s history in a generation with both sides looking to set up a clash against either Liverpool or Real Madrid in the final of Europe’s most prestigious club competition.
It was already confirmed that Harry Kane, Harry Winks, Erik Lamela, Serge Aurier would miss the match through respective injuries, while Heung-min Son serves a one-match suspension and fellow striker Vincent Janssen is ineligible.
Ajax have won just one of their six previous Champions League meetings with English opposition (3-1 vs Man City in October 2012), with all three of their away games finishing as draws (twice vs Arsenal, once vs Man City).
This is who starts.
Tottenham Hotspur: Lloris (C), Trippier, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Wanyama, Rose, Eriksen, Dele, Lucas, Llorente.
Subs: Gazzaniga, Foyth, Walker-Peters, Davies, Dier, Skipp, Sissoko
