Tottenham vs AC Milan lineups, starting 11s for Champions League match
Tottenham need to win their first knockout game in the Champions League since 2019 to progress to this season’s quarter-finals.
Serie A giants AC Milan meet in the Round of 16 second leg at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Stefano Pioli’s visitors taking a crucial 1-0 lead from the first leg.
The defeat in Milan leaves Spurs in a difficult position ahead of the second leg as Antonio Conte would need a win on his return to Spurs’ dugout as anything else would mean another trophy-less season.
Conte is without several key players due to long-term injuries but is pivotal in midfield Pierre Emile Hojbjerg is back from suspension with Milan’s first-leg matchwinner — Brahim Diaz – potentially excluded.

Conte and his players are well aware of what they must do to keep their Champions League hopes alive and the Italy manager would love to eliminate his old enemies Milan.
Pioli is likely to opt for a cautious tactical lineup against the pressured Spurs, with the hosts having to start with the front foot to prevent Milan from deploying a strong defence.

Lineups Tottenham vs. AC Milan
Conte is still without three key players through injury Hugo Lloris, Yves Bissouma And Rodrigo Bentancur all on hiatus, with the latter ruled out until next season.
Hojbjerg rotates back to midfield, Conte relies on his attacking trio Dejan Kulusevski, Harry Kane And son Heung-min to put the hosts in the last eight.

(3-4-3): Maignan (GK) – Thiaw, Kjaer, Tomori – Kalulu, Bennacer, Tonali, Hernandez – Saelemaekers, Giroud, Rebic
