Red Star vs Tottenham: Prediction, tickets, team news, TV live stream, H2H, betting - Champions League preview

Mauricio Pochettino must pick his Tottenham players up for Wednesday night's Champions League trip to Red Star Belgrade after a difficult draw at Everton.

Tottenham were held to a 1-1 draw at Goodison Park on Sunday as Cenk Tosun's injury-time leveller cost Spurs yet more valuable Premier League points, but the result itself was of secondary importance given Andre Gomes' horrific ankle fracture.

Heung-min Son has been offered counselling by Spurs after his challenge - for which he received a red card - sparked a chain of events which saw Gomes suffer an awful injury, but Pochettino's men must try to put that match out of their minds for the time being.

Spurs got their Champions League campaign back on track with a 5-0 win over Red Star in north London back on matchday three, and need another result to consolidate second place in a group which Bayern Munich are dominating.

Champions League preview

Red Star Belgrade vs Tottenham
Venue: Red Star Stadium
Kick-off time: 8pm GMT, Wednesday November 6


Prediction: Red Star 1-2 Tottenham

Spurs are unlikely to get as easy a ride as they did in the reverse fixture, and Wednesday's Group B match will be as much a test of the squad's temperament as much as their skill.


Team news

Jan Vertonghen (hamstring) and Harry Kane (illness) are on the comeback trail, though Hugo Lloris is ruled out until 2020.

It remains to be seen whether Heung-min Son will start given that the South Korea international left the pitch in tears following his red card at Goodison Park.

Tottenham predicted lineup (4-2-3-1): Gazzaniga; Walker-Peters, Alderweireld, Foyth, Rose; Winks, Dier; Lucas, Alli, Lo Celso; Kane
