Tottenham Hotspur travel to the San Siro to face AC Milan in an exciting Champions League knockout clash, but they do so without many out their big guns. Gareth Bale, who repeatedly tore Inter Milan to shreds earlier in the competition, did not make the trip to Italy, and creative midfielder Luka Modric is only fit enough to start on the bench. Milan aren't without absences either, as they have a host of injuries and several cup-tied players. On paper, the visitors don't stand much of a chance, but if they can use their wingers effectively, they may be able to snatch a crucial away goal ahead of the second leg in London two weeks from now.
