Tottenham vs Milan Team News
Tottenham will still be without long term absentees in Hugo Lloris, Ryan Sessegnon, Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur. Add to that, Eric Dier is suspended for this clash.
Milan have managed to set up a completely injury free squad for the first time this season ahead of this game, except Brahim Diaz, who is doubtful due to a knee sprain, although it is considered to be a knock from which he can recover in time for this game.
Sergino Dest, Yacine Adli, Tiemoue Bakayoko and 41-year-old Zlatan Ibrahimovic were not added to Milan’s squad for the Champions League knockouts.

Prediction
While their home stadium will be an added advantage, we think Tottenham will let the occasion get to themselves.
Moreover, their form in the Premier League has been poor in the last few weeks and they are low on confidence. We expect this one to be a draw, meaning Milan will qualify for the quarter-final on aggregate.
Tottenham 1-1 Milan
