VIDEO: Harry Winks and Virgil van Dijk - The Ones to Watch in the UEFA Champions League

The last eight of the UEFA Champions League begins tonight, with two mouth-watering clashes looming large.

Tottenham play host to Premier League rivals Manchester City, while Liverpool are up against FC Porto, a team they beat 5-0 in last year's tournament.

The aforementioned sides will be looking for heroes to emerge, with Spurs hoping to count on midfielder Harry Winks; the 23-year-old has a passing accuracy of 92.2% in his side's UCL home games this season.

For Liverpool, defender and talismanic figure Virgil van Dijk will hope to keep things tight at the back and affect matters up front; the Dutchman became the first centre-back since Luisao in 2015 to score and assist in a single UCL game.

Voting for Player of the Week opens on Thursday.
