Pochettino, UCL, Champions League, Bayer LeverkusenTottenham Hotspur coach Mauricio Pochettino is looking forward to an ‘exciting game’ against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League on Tuesday night. 

Pochettino remains optimistic despite losing defender Toby Alderweireld to injury.

Eric Dier and Kevin Wimmer are possible replacements for Alderweireld against Leverkusen.

While Spurs are the Premier League’s only unbeaten side, they stumbled badly in their opening Champions League group, losing 2-1 at home to as Monaco.

Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen coach, Roger Schmidt has also praised Tottenham’s ‘ tactics and organised play ahead of Tuesday night’s game.

It will be an important Group E game for both teams, both of whom are vying for the three points.

Leverkusen have had a patchy start to the season and come into the game with two wins from their last seven games.

With two points from their opening two group games – one fewer than Spurs and two behind leaders Monaco, Leverkusen know they cannot afford another defeat.
