Tottenham Hotspur vs. Dortmund: time, TV channels, lineups, and how to watch Champions League online

This is it. This is where the rubber really meets the road. Tottenham Hotspur completed their improbable Great Escape from the group stages of the Champions League, and drew a particularly tough opponent: Borussia Dortmund. Dortmund are currently atop the Bundesliga table, five points ahead of Bayern Munich. Under manager Lucien Favre, they are scoring at will, and look every bit like a dominant German team.

But they are also injured. Their top two scorers — Marco Reus and Paco Alcacer — are both out injured, as are two of their defenders, leaving them with a defense of barely fit and/or out of position players. Tottenham are also without two of their best players in Harry Kane and Dele Alli, but they have the home pitch advantage and a Premier League winning streak at their backs, so they are full of confidence.

This is a two-legged series, so Spurs need to come out and put together a solid, dominant win today if they want to escape to the next round. A draw or narrow win with a Dortmund goal could spell trouble in a few weeks when they travel to the Signal Iduna.

THE CHAAAAAAAAAAAAMPIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONS!

COYS!
