SAVE! Brilliant from Heung-Min Son, but Gianluigi Buffon is equal to it. Son throws the step over to skip past Andrea Barzagli, shoots from the angle, but Buffon beats it away,

Definitely a back three for Juventus. Faint Tottenham appeals for a penalty are waved away after Mehdi Benatia is adjudged not to have handled in the box.

KICK OFF! Our Polish referee gets us up and running after an impeccably observed minute's silence for Davide Astori. Remember - Juventus have to score.

MINUTES AWAY! Here we go, Wembley is ready. Spurs have only previously reached the quarter-finals of the competition once, back in 2010/11, while Juventus have made the final in two of the last three seasons. Remember - Tottenham are still unbeaten in this season’s continental competition. Will Spurs be able to overcome the experienced Italians? Found out right here!

What can the little magician conjure up?

AGLESS BUFFON: Gianluigi Buffon is one clean sheet away from his 50th in the Champions League. Only two goalkeepers have more (Iker Casillas 55, Edwin van der Sar 50).

KANE AND ABLE: Harry Kane has been directly involved in 53% of Tottenham's goals in this season's Champions League, scoring seven and assisting two of his side's 17 goals. He's also scored nine goals in his first nine Champions League appearances, making him the fastest player to reach the nine-goal tally in the competition.

Mauricio Pochettino believes this Tottenham side belong on the grandest of stages, while admitting his dreams of winning titles: “In football and in life, when you have the chance to play a competition like this, you need to take it because you never know what will happen in the next few years," Pochettino said.
"It’s a great moment to show the real face of Tottenham. Winning one title would be fantastic for everyone and mean a lot because, if we can win some trophies along the way, it will be complete – different from other clubs. The players would be heroes because they will have competed with these big sides. We can’t set a limit. I don’t do that. I am a dreamer. Every chance you have to play, you need to go as far as possible.”

BANG IN FORM: Both sides are on long unbeaten runs, with Spurs not having tasted defeat since December 16 and Juventus last losing a game on November 19. Since the 2-2 draw in the first leg Juve have recorded three successive 1-0 wins but, not to be outdone, Spurs have won three of their four games.

Only turns up for the big games...

Juventus' formation is unclear because it could be a 4-3-3 or a 3-4-2-1 depending on where Max Allegri wants to play Andrea Barzagli. The big news is Gonzalo Higuain is fit to play, having been missing since picking up an injury against Torino, fives days after the first left. Paulo Dybala is fit to start too. Quite the formidable forwardline.
19:02
Pretty much Spurs' strongest side this evening. Just one change from their weekend win over Huddersfield, with Kieran Trippier replacing the suspended Serge Aurier. Heung-Min Son keeps his place ahead of Erik Lamela after netting twice against the Terriers.
