Team News
Sandro, Jermain Defoe, Younes Kaboul and Tom Huddlestone are all out of this clash for Tottenham. Lisandro Lopez is doubtful for Lyon; he missed his side’ defeat to Lille with a calf injury.
Analysis
Lyon has a good campaign in Ligue 1 so far. They are currently second in the table. However, the French side has definitely lost an air of invincibility they possessed in the past. Lyon is trying to regain the Ligue 1 title once again. Tottenham meanwhile is trying to hold on to fourth place in the Premier League.
Both teams definitely play good football. Lyon is coming into this match on the back of two defeats. This is not really the ideal time for Lyon to visit White Hart Lane. If Lyon can produce their best, this game will definitely be an extremely exciting one though.
