Players to watch: Milan’s only goalscorer from the weekend, Olivier Giroud, has netted four times against Tottenham and has a wealth of experience against them. At full-time, he will have notched up more games against Spurs (19) than any other club.

Similarly, Tottenham’s Dejan Kulusevski has already taken on Milan seven times - but with very limited success (W1, D2, L4)!

Hot streak: Milan’s last five UCL fixtures were decided by a multiple goal margin (W3, L2).
