Team News: Son Heung-min given nod in Tottenham Hotspur XI

Son given nod in Spurs XI

Son Heung-min has retained his place in the Tottenham Hotspur starting lineup for the second leg of the club's Champions League last-16 tie with Juventus.

The South Korean international has netted four goals in his last two appearances, and the attacker is rewarded with a place in the team ahead of Erik Lamela and Lucas Moura.

Kieran Trippier is in for the suspended Serge Aurier, while Jan Vertonghen starts having shown no ill effects from a recent injury against Huddersfield Town on Saturday afternoon.

As expected, Harry Kane leads the line and will attempt to add to his 35-goal tally in all competitions, while Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen will look to provide.

As for Juventus, head coach Massimiliano Allegri has selected Gonzalo Higuain to start, despite the Argentine struggling with an ankle injury over the past week.

Blaise Matuidi was absent from the first leg, but he has come back into the lineup, while Paulo Dybala and Douglas Costa add to the attack-minded team.

Tottenham Hotspur: Lloris; Trippier, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Davies; Dier, Dembele; Eriksen, Alli, Son, Kane Subs: Vorm, Rose, Wanyama, Sissoko, Lamela, Moura, Llorente

Juventus: Buffon; Benatia, Barzagli, Chiellini, Sandro; Khedira, Matuidi, Pjanic; Costa, Dybala, Higuain Subs: Marchisio, Asamoah, Szczesny, Rugani, Lichtsteiner, Sturaro, Bentancur
