Inter Milan vs Tottenham Preview, Team News, Likely Line-ups & Predicted Score

Tottenham take on Inter Milan at the San Siro on Thursday evening looking to keep protect a commanding 3-0 lead. Here’s a preview with team news for the game.

Tottenham Hotspur are in Italy to take on Inter Milan at the San Siro this evening for the second leg of their Europa League last-16 tie.

Spurs will be looking to protect a commanding 3-0 lead after thrashing the Italians in the first leg at White Hart Lane last week, but boss Andre Villas-Boas will know his players cant afford to be complacent and need to finish the job in Milan tonight.

The Londoners head into the game after seeing their long unbeaten run ended at Anfield on Sunday when Liverpool came from behind to earn a 3-2 victory, but Spurs were their own worst enemies with two defensive mistakes costing them dearly.

AVB will be keen to get back on track tonight and Inter look a vulnerable side at present and have only managed two wins from their last six games, so the Premier League side are red-hot favourites to reach the quarter finals.
