#4 Paco Alcacer v Hugo Lloris

Borussia Dortmund v SV Werder Bremen - Bundesliga
Alcacer has been on fire this season

Paco Alcacer might be one of the few transfer business mistakes FC Barcelona have made in the last decade or so. The Spanish striker has been prolific for German table-toppers Borussia Dortmund this season, especially after coming off the bench during the late moments of the game.

The Spanish striker would come under the heavy spotlight when he goes head to head against recent World Champion and Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. Lloris is emulating his form from a successful World Cup campaign with France as he leads Spurs who are currently placed third in the Premier League.

Alcacer was dropped by FC Barcelona from their future plans and this created an opportunity for Dortmund to bring him to Signal Iduna Park to strengthen their young and ambitious squad.

Alcacer's finesse versus Lloris' reflexes is something which will be tested in the fixture.
