Tottenham will need to win their first Champions League knockout match since 2019 if they are to progress into this season's quarterfinal stage.
Serie A giants AC Milan head to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a Round of 16 second leg clash with Stefano Pioli's visitors holding a crucial 1-0 lead from the first leg.
Defeat in Milan leaves Spurs in a tough position ahead of the reverse fixture, with Antonio Conte needing a win on his return to the Spurs dugout as anything less would mean another campaign without a trophy.
Conte is without several key players due to long term injuries, but midfield lynchpin Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is back from suspension and starts, with Milan's matchwinner from the first leg — Brahim Diaz — also overcoming a knee problem.

Conte and his players are aware of what they need to do in order to keep their Champions League hopes alive and the Italian coach would love to knock out his old foes Milan.
Pioli is likely to opt for a cagey tactical set up against an under pressure Spurs, with the hosts needing to start on the front foot to prevent Milan from implementing a strong defensive approach.

Tottenham vs AC Milan lineups
Conte is still without three key players through injury, with Hugo Lloris, Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur all sidelined, with the latter ruled out until next season.
Hojbjerg will rotate back into midfield, and Conte will be relying on his attacking trio of Dejan Kulusevski, Harry Kane and Son Heung-min to fire the hosts into the last eight.
Below are the confirmed starting lineups for both teams ahead of their match Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on March 8.
Tottenham starting 11
(3-4-3): Forster (GK) — Romero, Lenglet, Davies – Emerson, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Perisic – Son, Kulusevski, Kane.
- Injured: Bentancur, Lloris, Bissouma, Sessegnon

Hojbjerg's return is potentially crucial for Conte, with Emerson Royal and Ivan Perisic joining Oliver Skipp in midfield.
AC Milan starting 11
(3-4-3): Maignan (GK) — Thiaw, Kalulu, Tomori – Hernandez, Tonali, Krunic, Messias – Diaz, Leao, Giroud

Pioli had been waiting until the last minute to make a decision on Diaz's fitness, with veteran centre-back Simon Kjaer back in the squad and on the bench.
