With Harry Kane injured and Son Heung-Min suspended, Tottenham will be forced to look elsewhere for firepower when they take on Ajax in Tuesday’s Champions League semi-final.
Having scored what proved the decisive third goal in the 4-3 away defeat that saw Spurs progress past Manchester City on away goals in the last round, Fernando Llorente is bet365’s 5/1 (6.00) favourite to open the scoring at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
However, considering that is the only goal he has scored in 12 appearances, odds of 6/4 (2.50) don’t look like particularly strong value on him finding the net in this one.

On target in two out of five matches at the new ground, Christian Eriksen is available at 11/4 (3.75) to step up once again with a big goal on Tuesday.
As well as a lack of cutting edge, Mauricio Pochettino’s men will have a tough time at the other end of the pitch in keeping at bay an opponent that has found the net in all five away Champions League matches this season – including six in the last two at Real Madrid and Juventus.
Only Lionel Messi has been involved in more goals thanDusan Tadic in this season’s competition and the former Southampton man looks a strong bet at 6/1 (7.00) to open the scoring in north London – not to mention 15/8 (2.88) anytime odds.
Hakim Ziyech scored in both legs against Real Madrid, and can be backed at 11/5 (3.20) to provide more heroics with a 21st goal of the season in all competitions.
Similarly, David Neres has come alive in the knockout stages with goals against both Madrid and Juventus, and is priced at 11/4 (3.75) to strike once again at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
