Tottenham vs AC Milan live stream: How to watch Champions League fixture online and on TV tonight
Tottenham host AC Milan knowing they may need a deep run in Europe to produce a positive season.
With the future of Antonio Conte, who is set to return to the touchline on Wednesday night, far from certain beyond season’s end, Spurs’ pursuit of a long-awaited trophy will rely on a Champions League success that seems unlikely.
Manager Stefano Pioli is dealing with a couple of forwards doubts but will be confident of securing a place in the last eight.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the second leg.

Team news
The return of manager Antonio Conte to the touchline could provide a boost for Spurs, and the Italian has a decision to make at right back: Emerson Royal has been in improved form but Pedro Porro produced an encouraging performance against Wolves. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg should return in midfield after missing the first leg through suspension, a timely boost given Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma’s injuries, but Eric Dier will miss out after receiving another yellow card in the first leg in Milan.
Stefano Pioli will be closely monitoring the fitness of Milan first-leg matchwinner Brahim Diaz, who has been dealing with a knee strain. The Spaniard is hopeful of being available, and could be back in the starting side alongside Rafael Leao, who missed out on the defeat against Fiorentina due to suspension. A late concern is the health of Olivier Giroud - the striker has come down with flu-like symptoms, according to reports in Italy, and did not train on Monday.
Predicted lineups
Tottenham XI: Forster; Romero, Lenglet, Davies; Royal, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Perisic; Kulusevski, Son; Kane
AC Milan XI: Maignan; Kalulu, Kjaer, Tomori; Saelemaekers, Krunic, Tonali, Hernandez; De Ketelaere, Giroud, Leao
Odds
Tottenham win 19/20
Draw 3/5
AC Milan win 3/1
Prediction
There is no away goals rule, which means a Tottenham win by a single goal will take this to extra time and possibly penalties. Tottenham 2-1 AC Milan a.e.t (2-2 on aggregate, Spurs progress on penalties)
