Serbian Superlig giants Crvena Zvezda (Red Star Belgrade) take on Tottenham in a Champions League match at the Rajko Mitic Stadium in a reverse fixture which they previously lost 5-0 in England. Yesterday’s upset at Camp Nou, where Barcelona dropped points against Slavia Praha would give Crvena Zvezda confidence that even the top teams can be held at a draw. Crvena have won 8 of their last 8 league games and while Tottenham are much above the level of the Serbian League, they still will be brimming with confidence. The same however cannot be said about Tottenham, with their morale low having remained winless in their last 4 league games and a 7-2 upset versus Bayern in the Champions League.
Harry Kane is fit again and expected to return to the first team having missed the last match against Everton due to a virus. However they would be without Jan Vertonghen and Erik Lamela who are suffering from a hamstring and thigh problem respectively. Sanchez will partner with Alderweireld at centre – back with Tottenham fans calling for Ryan Sessengon to get a start in the match, with the youngster impressing at Fulham.
