Juventus vs Tottenham, Basel vs Manchester City: Express Sport brings you the latest Champions League scores

TWITTER ROUND-UP

Matthew: I’ll be honest, I’m not massively confident for tonight but I know we can get a result if we turn up.

Andy: Erik Lamela earns a start after his brilliant NLD performance. We now have Lucas Son and Wanyama on the bench. What a difference a few months makes!

Kieran: Lamela, interesting. Cannot wait for this, so nervous. Need to play perfectly and be tactically spot on to nick a goal and a draw to take back to Wembley.

TEAM NEWS – TOTTENHAM

19:45: Right, let’s have a closer look at Mauricio Pochettino’s starting XI.

The Argentine has made two changes for tonight’s Champions League tie with Erik Lamela and Serge Aurier replacing Kieran Trippier and Son.

Bit harsh on Sonny, he’s been pretty consistent for the north London side. He’s on the bench but there’s no sign of Fernando Llorente, who is out of the matchday squad completely.

January signing Lucas Moura has been named on the bench having not played any part in the 1-0 win over Arsenal on Saturday.

JUVENTUS vs TOTTENHAM

19:40: Erik Lamela starts! Didn’t think I would be writing that this evening. Anyway, here are the line-ups for tonight’s clash.

Juventus XI: Buffon, De Sciglio, Benatia, Chiellini, Alex Sandro, Khedira, Pjanic, Bernardeschi, Douglas Costa, Mandzukic, Higuain.

Tottenham XI: Lloris, Aurier, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Davies, Dier, Dembele, Eriksen, Alli, Lamela, Kane.

Subs: Gazzaniga, Trippier, Rose, Wanyama, Sissoko, Son, Lucas.

BASEL vs MANCHESTER CITY

18:35: Looks like Manchester City are the first to release their starting XI tonight.

Pep Guardian has named his strongest available side and there’s a return for Leroy Sane, who is named amongst the substitutes.

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Walker, Kompany, Otamendi, Delph, Fernandinho, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Sterling, Bernardo, Aguero.

THE CHAMPIONSSSSS!

18:30: Welcome to our LIVE coverage of Juventus vs Tottenham.

It’s been a while since I screamed the Champions League theme at the top of my lungs.

Highly refreshing, but the guys in the office didn’t appreciate it…

Anyway, we’re here to follow Tottenham’s European adventure which tonight takes them to Turin for the first leg of the Champions League last 16.

Let’s get going!

JUVENTUS vs TOTTENHAM

Tottenham will be without Toby Alderweireld for tonight’s Champions League clash with Juventus.

Alderweireld has not travelled to Turin as he continues to regain fitness following three months out with a hamstring injury.

Otherwise, boss Mauricio Pochettino has a full squad to choose from for the first leg of the last 16. Victor Wanyama could come in to bolster the midfield.

BASEL vs MANCHESTER CITY

Leroy Sane could make a dramatic return from injury for Manchester City’s Champions League game at Basel.

The German winger has made a rapid recovery from ankle ligament damage that was expected to sideline him for another month and he has travelled with the squad to Switzerland.

Playmaker David Silva and left-back Fabian Delph are also back in contention after respective hip and knee problems but there could be a doubt over defender Aymeric Laporte, who did not take a full part in training yesterday.
