Sergio Aguero could return to Manchester City

Sergio Aguero gave Manchester City a boost ahead of the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final at Tottenham on Tuesday (kickoff at 8 pm).

Aguero has not played since he's injured in the 2-0 win against Fulham last month, but he is now back to training.

Rear-backs Kyle Walker and Benjamin Mendy should also be available at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Meanwhile, the Spurs will be without Eric Dier, Erik Lamela and Serge Aurier.

Dier (hip), Lamela and Aurier (both hamstrings) trained alone the day before the match while they continue their reeducation.

Fernando Llorente is back in the team after being the victim of a concussion last week against Crystal Palace.

Access the comment minute by minute with us from the Tottenham Hotspur stadium at 6 pm Tuesday. Coup de shipment at 20h.

Tottenham will look to continue the momentum of the first game in its new stadium with a capacity of 62,000 seats and Mauricio Pochettino hopes the Spurs will feast in the atmosphere.

"We can not guess the atmosphere," he said. "It's our second game there.

"The first of the Champions League, different from the Premier League.

"We hope and wish that the atmosphere is incredible and difficult for our opposition."

Charlie's prediction

Man City does the work. Tottenham has the glamor of the new stadium and it should be a spectacular night. They are a side of attack. Should they win the football match? Probably not.

Man City is resting and teasing the teams right now, and there is efficiency about them. They will squeeze Tottenham a bit.

Tottenham could be caught in the drama of the new stadium, but nothing changes for Man City. This is how Tottenham uses the aggressive nature of their pressure. They may try to force him, so I think Manchester City will eliminate them.

Sterling, Sane and Aguero are going to play, so is Tottenham going for a three or four-man record? I think they'll go to the back three. De Bruyne's form gives City an advantage for the moment.

Charlie predicts: 1-2
