Charlie Nicholas provides his predictions for the final round of Champions League group fixtures.

Tottenham and Leicester are in action on Wednesday night against CSKA Moscow and Porto respectively and the Soccer Saturday pundit is tipping one of them to lose.

Here's what Charlie is predicting in his Sky Bet tips...

Porto v Leicester

The job is done in Europe for Leicester whereas Porto still need to qualify, so I actually think this is the home banker of the night.

Claudio Ranieri has some big decisions to make and it's amazing they've topped the group when they've been awful domestically.

Sunderland 2-1 Leicester

People say it was an easy group but this is still Leicester we're talking about. A team who were expect to be in a relegation battle every season. This is still pretty much that side but on double the wages now.

I don't think Jamie Vardy deserves to start but I think it might actually suit him with the space to knock it into as Porto will dominate the game, although the big question for them is where the goals are going to come from consider they scored their first goal in five at the weekend.

CHARLIE PREDICTS: 2-0 and Diogo Jota to score first (13/1 with Sky Bet)

Tottenham v CSKA Moscow

It's one these situations again where we talk about momentum. It's been a pretty awkward few weeks but I don't think Spurs have been playing poorly.

Tottenham 5-0 Swansea

They did well in the first half against Chelsea, played well at the Emirates and Harry Kane is scoring goals again which is going to give them belief. There's also a wee bit of a pick-me-up in the contracts getting signed.

I do think there will be a bit of anger coming through from how poor they've been in the Champions League, especially at Wembley.

Dele Alli is starting to annoy me with his diving and he clearly believes he's not actually diving when he gets the slightest touch.

I can't see anything other than a convincing Tottenham win.
