PSV's striker Til has drawn a foul in five of his last six matches, highlighting how he can be quite a tricky customer to deal with, he will be up against van Dijk here. PSV rank third-bottom in the Champions League for total fouls drawn this season, but those infringements tend to be concentrated on their attacking players. Of their 32 fouls drawn, Ismael Saibiri has accounted for eight of those infringements, while Dennis Man has also been fouled a further four times.

This price for Van Dijk to commit a foul appeals, given how he has seen a noticeable uptick in recent weeks. The centre back has landed this selection in each of his last five matches, including three fouls against Real Madrid in his last European outing. The Dutchman has been on the receiving end of plenty of criticism recently, and seems to be airing out that frustration on the pitch.

Micky van de Ven went from hero to zero in the Super Cup final, as he opened the scoring in the first half, before missing a penalty in the shoot-out. His defensive partner Cristian Romero was also on the scoresheet in regular time, while Kevin Danso went close from a header, highlighting how Tottenham were able to find success from set piece situations against PSG. 

Thomas Frank is likely to go with a similar setup to that game, given how it almost paid off. The Lilywhites will once again have to be efficient from dead ball situations, with chances from open play likely to be limited at the Parc des Princes. 

Van de Ven has been the primary target when Spurs can get the ball into the box, and he has registered a shot in six of his last 10 starts in all competitions. Of those eight efforts, five have hit the target and four have gone in.
