Two of London’s top clubs are back in UEFA Champions League action this week, with both looking to turn their seasons around.
Tottenham will face off against AC Milan at San Siro looking to bounce back from a harrowing 4-1 defeat Leicester City, while over in Germany, Chelsea will be hoping to kickstart their stuttering campaign with a win over Borussia Dortmund.
Ahead of these fixtures, 90min sat down with ex-England manager Glenn Hoddle to discuss the fortunes of his two former clubs.
“I was quite happy with the draw. AC Milan are a wonderful football club with a great history, but they’re not playing anywhere near the level they were years ago.
“I think it’s quite a well match two-legged game. Both clubs will fancy their chances, but I do see Spurs, if they play like they did against Man City I can see them getting through that tie. I’m quite optimistic about that. It won’t be a walk in the park because San Siro is always a tough place to go and play, but I don’t think it’s bad time for Tottenham to go and play them.”

“He’s been amazing. He’s turned into an amazing footballer and not just for his goalscoring and beating Jimmy Greaves’ wonderful record, but it’s the assists that he’s made on his way and his all-round game has come on so much.

“I think number one priority for Kane is to win a trophy with Tottenham. He has a real decision to make if nothing happens this season, or they don’t get back into the top four, that’s the key. If they don’t then we might see him go to Man Utd.
“A lot depends on this season.”
