Reus, Goetze, Alcacer start as Dortmund target Spurs comeback

Having lost their Champions League last 16, first leg at Wembley 3-0, Favre threw caution to the wind for the return at Signal Iduna Park. For the first time this season, both Germany forward Mario Goetze and Spanish striker Paco Alcacer, normally used off the bench, started alongside playmaker and captain Marco Reus, back after missing the first leg with a thigh injury.

With Thomas Delaney on the bench, Axel Witsel is Dortmund's sole defensive midfielder up against Spurs' midfield duo of Harry Winks and Moussa Sissoko. Achraf Hakimi, who made a mistake in the first leg and again in Friday's 2-1 Bundesliga defeat at Augsburg drops to Dortmund's bench with Marius Wolf taking his place at right-back.

Spurs coach Mauricio Pochettino has stuck to a three-man defence that caused Dortmund problems in London, while England striker Harry Kane partners Son Heung-min up front.
