Team News: Dele Alli starts for Tottenham Hotspur

Dele Alli starts for Tottenham Hotspur

Mauricio Pochettino has named Dele Alli in his starting lineup for Tottenham Hotspur's last-16 Europa League clash with Borussia Dortmund at White Hart Lane tonight.

The Argentine manager named an under-strength XI last week and paid the penalty with a 3-0 defeat, and Pochettino has not included many of his heavy hitters again this evening.

There are five changes from the 2-0 win over Aston Villa on Sunday, with Kieran Trippier and Ben Davies coming into the full-back positions, while Ryan Mason starts in midfield.

Further forward, Nacer Chadli starts on the right wing as Son Heung-min leads the line at the expense of Harry Kane, who starts on the bench.

Meanwhile, Dortmund pair Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Marco Reus, who did the damage last Thursday, start in North London as the Lilywhites bid to defy the odds and reach the quarter-finals.

Tottenham Hotspur: Lloris (c), Trippier, Alderweireld, Wimmer, Davies; Dier, Mason; Chadli, Alli, Lamela; Son Subs: Vorm, Carter-Vickers, Rose, Carroll, Onomah, Winks, Kane

Borussia Dortmund: Weidenfeller, Piszczek, Sokratis, Subotic, Ginter, Weigl, Reus, Castro, Schmelzer, Aubameyang, Mkhitaryan Subs: Hummels, Durm, Pulisic, Sahin, Bürki, Ramos, Kagawa
