They are good. I’ve caught a few of their games this season. They like to press and can play very quickly up front. Think we line up similar to Villa except Lo Celso for Dier if he’s fit for 90 and maybe Tanganga for Davis only since he’s just back to fitness. Won’t be an easy one that’s for sure but no doubt we can grab a win. 3- 2 Spurs

two away goals for Leipzig wouldn’t be good for us
 
You can't win the tie in the first leg; but you can certainly lose it. Expect us to play very cautious and aim to keep a clean sheet above all else. With our pace up front, we should be able to nick a goal.

If our home fans show frustration at our apparently lack of attacking commitment; this could prove to be our downfall. Let's make the assumption that Jose knows more about football tactics than us - so no booing!

Expect we will see the preferred setup. Defensive on the left; attacking on the right, playing with a back 3 whilst Aurier given freedom to push up.

It's nice to see we have a selection dilemma and real quality on the bench. I'm sure we will hear the usual groans if Dier is picked to start, but with Chelsea at the weekend; time management of those players not 100% is key if we want them to contribute (Ndom, GLC, Lamela).

Whilst Dele was wasteful in his finishing against Villa; he did show how clever he is at creating space for himself for those long balls from Dier and Toby. My $$ is on Dele to net a couple of goals in this one.

Lloris
Aurier - Toby - Sanchez - Tanganga
Winks - Dier - GLC
Moura - Alli - Son

Spurs 2-0 RB
Alli 20, 55
 
Bloody excited for this.

Think it'll be a great game. They play some great football, but we have players who can damage them. Bergwijn, Son and Lo Celso absolutely key in this.

Nope, there will be 3 or 4 changes I feel.

We have to hold the ball better and we need to be compact. Two legs so no need to go mad .

Not sure what we can say we do well, other than doing out results but if there is now something it's a degree of pace up top.

Any kind of 2 goal lead would be good and so would 0 - 0.
 
I think this really is a game between the two managers and their tactics. RBL always adapt their formation to their opponent so let’s see if Mourinho can have the last laugh.
 
We’ll win this over two legs. Spurs are good over two legs anyway and with Jose being more tactical than Poch I see this being fine. Would be nice to win it in the first leg 3-0 but I think they’ll get one.

Hello to all here,

as you can see by my nick, i'm from the city of your opponent. I'm just fan of Sevilla FC (yes, its crazyo_O) , but know about the history of RBL and how it happened that Red Bull went in here to built this club. To say it at first: This seasons football from them was a little bit stunning, Stadium is almost every match sold out. The change from Manager Rangnick to the new Coach Nagelsmann seemed difficult before the season, but it wasn't at all. Same football, almost the same players. But in last weeks, they struggled due to losing Demme, who was a very important Player, to SSC Napoli. They've found their order again now, so it won't be easy to beat them on wednesday. Will be interesting to see the game. Greetings from Germany.
