Tottenham face a huge challenge in the Champions League this evening as they host Barcelona at Wembley Stadium with a whole host of key players missing from the squad.
Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen, Jan Vertonghen and Mousa Dembele are among those ruled out through injury, meaning a tough test has become even tougher for Mauricio Pochettino’s men.
The visitors haven’t been in the best form themselves, though, so could Spurs rally the troops and get a much needed three points?
Read on for our three Tottenham vs Barcelona predictions, stats and betting tips with William Hill.

Tottenham vs Barcelona tip one: Harry Kane to score anytime @ Evens
The home side have their backs against the wall for this game. Everyone would have expected Barcelona to win even if they had a full-stength squad, but with the injuries – nobody is giving Tottenham a chance.
With this in mind, they need their talisman Harry Kane to lead the line with supreme quality. He needs to keep running, he needs to keep his head up and, perhaps most importantly, he needs to take the chances that come his way.
Against a Barcelona side that has kept just one clean sheet away from home since April, we think he’ll get his moment.
Key Stat: After going five games without a goal, Harry Kane has scored three in his last two appearances

Tottenham vs Barcelona tip two: Both teams to score @ 1/2
If we’re backing Kane to score and we don’t think Tottenham will stop Barcelona scoring – it makes sense to back both teams to score at Wembley.
Leo Messi and co haven’t been on top of their game – it’s three games without a win going into this one – but you would expect them to break through a Spurs defence that has conceded nine goals in their last four home games.
Key Stat: Both teams have scored in five out of Tottenham’s last seven home games in the Champions League
Tip: both teams to score @ 1/2 with William Hill – bet here

Tottenham vs Barcelona tip three: Davinson Sánchez to be carded @ 5/2
With Vertonghen out of this one, Davinson Sanchez is likely to partner Toby Alderweireld in defence for the home side and this makes him a good candidate for a booking.
Barcelona are likely to dominate possession for large periods and with Messi, Luis Suarez and Phil Coutinho – they’ll often draw a challenge from the home side’s defence.
It is conceivable that Sanchez – who is perhaps more at home in a back three – will leave his foot in one too many times and be cautioned by the referee.
Key Stat: Sanchez was one of three Tottenham players booked in the 2-1 defeat at Inter Milan last month
