Seeking to overturn a one-goal deficit upon Antonio Conte's return to the dugout, Tottenham Hotspur host AC Milan in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Wednesday evening.
An early Brahim Diaz goal sealed a 1-0 win for the Rossoneri in the first leg three weeks ago, but both clubs enter the midweek reunion on the back of lowly domestic defeats.
We say: Tottenham Hotspur 1-1 AC Milan (Milan win 2-1 on aggregate)
Home comforts will no doubt benefit Spurs' chances of turning the tie on its head, but Conte is facing a thankless task to rally his profligate troops after a pair of demoralising domestic defeats.
Milan's recent spate of underwhelming road performances could see the Scudetto-holders tread with caution too, but with a well-rested Leao returning to a near fully-fit squad, the Rossoneri can hold out for the draw which would seal their spot in the last eight, as Tottenham's dreams of silverware crash and burn for another year.

Ninety minutes that could potentially make or break Christophe Galtier's time in the Paris Saint-Germain hotseat await on Wednesday night, as Bayern Munich welcome the French champions to the Allianz Arena in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 showdown.
A solitary strike from ex-PSG product Kingsley Coman was enough to propel the Bavarians to a 1-0 first-leg win three weeks ago, as a familiar sense of deja vu rears its ugly head for the ardent Parisiens.
We say: Bayern Munich 2-2 Paris Saint-Germain (Bayern win 3-2 on aggregate)
Even with regular ankle victim Neymar watching another crucial European contest from the sidelines, the lethal Messi-Mbappe combination can no doubt trouble a ravaged Bayern backline, and Wednesday's second leg should certainly live up to the billing.
While surely capable of wiping out Bayern's impeccable defensive home record in Europe, PSG were exposed on several occasions in their recent wins over Lille and Nantes, and the prolific Bavarians can match their visitors' ruthlessness to advance to the last eight and prolong the Parisiens' European agony.
