Tottenham travel to Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday night knowing a win will confirm top spot in Group H.

Spurs have already qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League, but Mauricio Pochettino has insisted a result against Dortmund is important after Saturday’s 2-0 defeat at Arsenal.

However, I still expect the Tottenham boss to make changes for a number of reasons.

The full-backs will almost certainly be rotated, with Serge Aurier and Danny Rose coming in for Kieran Trippier and Ben Davies.

Harry Winks could start after playing half an hour of the North London derby. He will replace either Mousa Dembele or Moussa Sissoko, probably the former.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Dele Alli and Harry Kane rested – they both looked completely unfit against Arsenal. At the same time, there’s a good chance the duo will start if Pochettino really wants to win this one. We’ll see.

Here’s our Spurs XI to face Dortmund – what’s yours?
