Speaking to the media ahead of the game in Istanbul, Postecoglou opened up on the challenge facing his team.
"They definitely have a lot of threat in the front third," . "As I said, their attacking players are very, very good individually. They're a strong team physically, so we're going have to match the attacking threats they have with the way we play.
"Obviously, like I said here at Galatasaray, at this home stadium with the fans behind them, there's a great energy in all their games, so it's a great test for us, but as I said one we're looking forward to. We're in good form, we're playing good football ourselves. It should hopefully be a good game."
Here is the Tottenham team Postecoglou has selected to face Galatasaray:
Confirmed Tottenham XI: Forster; Porro, Dragusin, Davies, Gray; Bissouma, Maddison, Bergvall; Johnson, Lankshear, Son.
Subs: Vicario, Austin, Udogie, Dorrington, Cassanova, Kulusevski, Sarr, Bentancur, Olusesi, Williams-Barnett, Solanke.
