Leverkusen skipper Bender out of Spurs clash

Tottenham are using the cavernous Wembley for Champions League ties this season because of a reduced capacity at White Hart Lane as work continues on a new 60,000-seater ground.

“We can make a lot of excuses, but tell me one place better than here to play football”.

Pochettino added: “We can not blame Wembley”. That’s why I expect Pochettino to pick a very attack minded starting 11 for Wednesday’s pivotal Champions League clash.

English top flight side Tottenham will be hoping that they have enough to defeat Bayer Leverkusen after the last match between these two sides ended up a draw. We play offensive styles, with pressure against the opposition team. If we don’t show the quality, it’s our fault.

Leverkusen will travel to bottom-placed CSKA Moscow for their next Group E fixture on November 22.

Mauricio Pochettino insists the frustration of Tottenham’s recent barren run won’t become a distraction as his injury-plagued side look to get back on track in the Champions League. “Our second line need to score more, be more determined, and maybe we are lacking those goals this season”, he said. Spurs are now missing star defender Toby Alderweireld, and they had the joint best defensive record in the Premier League last season, conceding just 35 goals.

Nevertheless, after both sides failed to find inspiration in the final third for most of the opening period, 0-0 was a fair reflection of a poor game at the break.

“We are pro-national team for all the players, and if Harry will be available and we are not stupid to say no”.

“Tomorrow, no, not on the bench”, Pochettino said when asked about Kane. If you don’t score in football, it’s hard to win.

“At the moment we are probably unlucky in every game we play”. It’s very rich from player who is yet to score in open play for Spurs, with all three of goals coming from the penalty spot. They have only found the net twice in three Champions League games this year, and have struggled to find the net in the Premier Leageu also.

Members of Spurs” Ladies team and “fanbassadors’ will hand out flags and glow sticks to boost the light display further.

“We’re still unbeaten in the Premier League, we’re positive and we’re looking forward to the week”.
