Dave46 · Mar 9, 2016

Location: Signal Iduna Park

Kick-Off: March 10, 13:00 ECT

Possible Lineups:

Dortmund: Burki, Piszczek, Hummels, Bender, Schmelzer, Weigl, Gundogan, Reus, Kagawa, Mkhitaryan, Aubameyang

Tottenham: Lloris - Trippier, Alderweireld, Wimmer, Davis - Chief, Mason - Lamela, Eriksen, Chadli - Kane

On Tottenham side, Alii is suspended and Vertonghen and N'Jie are injured.

We have only Socratis recovering from his injury.

Good luck to the team. We need to win Europa League. Let's score 3 for a comfortable win. 3:0

If Tuchel plays the first team, which he should do then I see this being 2-0. If any one of Hummels, Gundogan, Weigl, Mkhitaryan, Reus or Auba is not playing then it could get tricky. Tottenham were looking a bit tired even against the 10 men of Arsenal.

We should have the best squad for the game.

They're missing quite a few players due to injury/suspension and for some reason Dier didn't travel so we should be able to get a result.

Dave46 · Mar 9, 2016

Yes, Dier is important part of their defense.

A 3-0 win would almost be a slam dunk. Whatever it is, I just hope we prevail even if we go through after 2 draws.

Good luck tomorrow

I can't see us conceding 3, we have been very solid in defence all season and haven't conceded more then 2 goals in any match, and have only conceded twice in one of our last 13 (v Arsenal). That being said we haven't faced anyone of Dortmund's class. Alderweireld and Wimmer are going to need to be at their very best, the movement of Dortmund's front players is very difficult to cope with. And we must not take unnecessary risks, on Saturday we gave up too many easy turnovers in our own half and it caused problems. Do the same tonight and we'll be in trouble.

It will be a very interesting test, we have the youngest average aged team in the EPL and this will be a great experience, although it is a shame that Alli and Dier will miss the game at Westfalenstadion. The atmosphere there blows the roof off anything in the EPL.

Our attacking full backs have been key and I can see Davies and Trippier starting tonight as they offer the best threat when it comes to getting forward.

All in all... I expect a cracker of a match!

Dave46 · Mar 10, 2016

3:0 is my wish. It all depends from Auba's shooting. We do create chances. Our defense is not too bad right now.

Dave46 · Mar 10, 2016

Gundogan is not even on the bench.

Dave46 · Mar 10, 2016

Spurs putting up a squad that is begging us to score 3 goals

Yeah how come? Is he being rested?

Anyway good luck guys, you are my second favorite team still in the Europa League, but I don't see my favorite Lazio winning it, so I think you guys will be in the final against either Sevilla or Villarreal.

Borussia Dortmund without Gündogan tonight. Huge blow. He picked up a knock in training.

Alex C · Mar 10, 2016

No Kane for us, disappointing. Either Chadli or Son will play as a false 9.

Midfield is a bit lightweight, both Mason and Carroll lack physicality. Going to be very tough.

nekkibasara · Mar 10, 2016

Good luck tonight guys. Hope you smash em.

bvbSlash · Mar 10, 2016

So we reward Bürki with the bench?

Dave46 · Mar 10, 2016

I have read somewhere that the Turkish ref gave out 25 yellows and 4 penalties in 5 or 6 Europa league games. We got to be careful.
