Real Madrid v Tottenham: Four formations Spurs could use in the Champions League clash

Under Mauricio Pochettino, Spurs are no longer a team without a plan B and are incredibly adaptable, even in the most trying of circumstances.

And this is certainly good fortune given they go into their key clash with Spanish giants Real Madrid without a fully fit left-back to hand, with Ben Davies ill and Danny Rose returning from a knee injury.

Given the prowess of their opponents, Tottenham will need to be ready to switch strategies throughout depending on the match situation, exactly as they did to defeat Bournemouth at weekend, with Eric Dier and Jan Vertonghen's versatility proving their trump card.
