Nicholas predicts a Spurs win

Former Arsenal man Charlie Nicholas, now a pundit on Soccer Saturday for Sky Sports, has had a look at all the UEFA Champions League games involving British sides. Here is what he has to say about the Tottenham Hotspur tie against French side Monaco.

Tottenham v Monaco

Monaco have started the season well and look like a pretty solid unit, winning 4-1 at Lille at the weekend after convincingly beating PSG 3-1.

I think they're stronger than when Spurs beat them last season, but I must admit that Spurs produced a big display at the weekend.

Up with Arsenal's performance against Watford and a couple of first halves from Man City, that performance at Stoke was up there with the most impressive in the Premier League so far.

Mauricio Pochettino acknowledged that they're starting to get over last season, especially with Harry Kane getting a goal.

It will be interesting to see how many changes he makes. We were talking about when and where are they going to play Moussa Sissoko on Soccer Saturday. These European nights could be the chance, especially against a French side.

Charlie predicts: 2-1 and Kane to score first
