Lyon
Tottenham
- Yoann Gourcuff has missed the last couple of games with a groin injury and isn't expected to make it back just yet.
- Jimmy Briand is lacking match fitness and also won't feature.
- Lyon bounced back from the defeat at White Hart Lane last week with a resounding 4-0 win at Bordeaux on Sunday, with Clément Grenier scoring twice, so he could push Steed Malbranque, who was rested at the weekend, for the spot behind the lone striker.
- Brad Friedel will continue in goal for Tottenham, as Andre Villas-Boas continues with his policy of goalkeeper rotation in spite of Hugo Lloris' connections with Lyon.
- Tom Huddlestone is a doubt after missing the first leg of this tie with a knee injury, but he is unlikely to be involved anyway.
- AVB will want to win, but will also have an eye on Spurs' Monday game at West Ham, so his centre back pairing could give an indication of who he is going to field in the next match, with 2 able to rest here.
all depends on who scores first
could go either way
Comebaaaaaaack
