Bayern Munich

Injury Concern: Arp, Hernández

Niko Kovac on Spur- “You can see what it means when you have a good coach, a good manager. In my opinion, Tottenham is a very positive light in European football. They are now able to compete with the big teams, even though it didn’t look like that six or seven years ago. They have continuity, he was given time and he has done a great job and that is an example for others. All the players are world class from different international teams and we know what to face tomorrow.”

Niko Kovac on Harry Kane- “His quality in the Premier League and England squad speaks for itself. He’s sensational and he can do it all. He’s good at holding up and good with his head. There’s nothing he can’t do, he’s a very strong striker. Him and Lewandowski are probably the top two, three or four in the world.”

Match Day Squad

Predicted XI: Neuer; Pavard, Süle, Boateng, Lucas Hernandez; Kimmich, Thiago; Coman, Coutinho, Gnabry; Lewandowski.

Tottenham Hotspur

Injury Concern: Giovani Lo Celso, Sessegnon

Jan Vertonghen- “The mood at this point is good, it was a good win for us on  Saturday. We fought, we stuck together, there was a  great buzz at half-time after the game because we wanted to show who we are and show that we can fight and want to fight. If you see after  the final whistle how happy we were.”

“We can dominate games but we can fight as well. That was a good feeling to see that those 10 players on the pitch were ready to fight  for everyone and everyone in the dressing room, the staff and the fans in the stadium.”

Predicted XI: Lloris; Aurier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose; Winks, Sissoko, Ndombele; Eriksen; Son, Kane.

Olympiacos

Injury Concern: Christodoulopoulos, Fortounis

Greek side Olympiacos will be without captain Konstantinos Fortounis but Rúben Semedo is back from injury and could take Pape Abou Cissé’s place at centre-back here. Andreas Bouchalakis has been a bit-part player in the league but was surprisingly selected ahead of Mohamed Camara against Tottenham last time out in Europe and could retain his place in the XI here.

 

Match Day Squad

Predicted XIJose Sa; Elabdellaoui, Ruben Semedo, Meriah, Tsimikas; Guilherme, Bouchalakis; Masouras, Valbuena, Daniel Podence; Guerrero

Crvena Zvezda

Injury Concern: Garcia, Pavkov 

Rested/Left out: Ben Nabouhane  

Tomane returns from suspension to boost FK Crvena Zvezda’s options ahead of Tuesday’s match with Olympiacos. Branko Jovicic is the player guarenteed to miss out in midweek. Milan Rodic missed their first Champions League group game through injury but is back available now and should take over from Jander at left-back here. Milan Pavkov has been in and out of the team all season and could lose his place up front to Tomane on Tuesday.

Predicted XIBorjan; Gobeljic, Degenek, Milunovic, Rodic; Jovancic, Canas; Garcia, Marin, Van La Parra; Pavkov
