Tottenham board private jet as they head to Manchester for City showdown

Tottenham have boarded a private jet at London Stansted airport bound for the north ahead of Wednesday night's crunch Champions League clash against Manchester City.

Tottenham take a 1-0 lead from the first leg to the Etihad and will be aiming to finish the job and reach the last four of the Champions League for the first time.

Tottenham's official Twitter account tweeted a video of the players boarding a flight about 2pm on Tuesday afternoon.

Mauricio Pochettino's plan is for the players to train at City's home on Tuesday evening before the evening's press conference.

Pochettino will then plot how his side can either maintain their 1-0 lead, which Son Heung-min gave them in London, or build on it and reach the semi-finals having scored more goals.

That isn't how City defender John Stones expects Wednesday night to go, though.
