Spurs have won three in a row since then in all competitions, whereas Barca have hit a bad patch of form - collecting two points from the last nine on offer in La Liga - and are in need of some momentum.

Mauricio Pochettino: "The circumstances this season are so tough. Look what is going to happen in the Carabao Cup. We are going to play Monday in Wembley against Manchester City and then we must play on Wednesday or Thursday, and then we must play Saturday and Tuesday in the Champions League. That is completely unfair for a team that wants to win some titles. The ambition is to win [trophies], but reality maybe and dream and perception are not in a good balance today. The most important now is day by day and game by game. The most important today is to be focused on Barcelona and try to give our best and try to win, and then we will see what happens at the end of the season."
Ernesto Valverde: "In the last week, we have had problems with our results and you can analyse each one of them. We want to improve every day. When you don't get results, you always want to look for reasons. It is because of a mistake or the opponent doing well, but we want to make up for that now in an important game. We all feel good, we know how things are. Even when you win everything, there are some discerning voices. Everyone here knows the demands on us and we know that we have to live with that. You should always expect to come up against the best version of your opponent. We know that they have injuries, but we expect the best from them and we are aware of their strength in attack and defence. When the draw came out, we expected tough games and we know this one is going to be very hard and difficult for us."
