It’s a big game for…

Toby Alderweireld: The Belgian international’s return will be a welcome relief for Spurs who have struggled without his talismanic presence at the heart of their defence, both domestically and in Europe. Tottenham have only won two games since Alderweireld was sidelined in October.

Remember when…

Tottenham registered their first win in eight games in the competition? Son Heung-Min's strike 20 minutes from time handed Spurs victory against CSKA Moscow in a tight encounter at the Arena CSKA last September.

Player to watch…

Dele Alli: The England midfielder has failed to find his best form so far this season but he undoubtedly has the ability to help Spurs in Europa League and end their Wembley hoodoo. His cohesion with Harry Kane could provide Tottenham with the key to victory.

Form guide…

Tottenham Hotspur: WLLWDL

CSKA Moscow: WWDDW

Predicted teams...

Tottenham (4-2-3-1): Lloris; Trippier, Dier, Vertonghen, Wimmer; Wanyama, Winks; Sissoko, Eriksen, Son; Kane.

CSKA (4-2-3-1): Akinfeev; Fernandes, A Berezutski, V Berezutski, Schennikov; Wernbloom, Dzagoev; Milanov, Natcho, Golovin; Traore.

Dele Alli will be hoping he can help energise his team to a win tonight as they seek a spot in the Europa League
