The second leg of the Champions League Round of 16 is in London on March 8.
The Rossoneri ended their dire run of just two draws in the last seven competitive games by beating Torino 1-0 on Friday, putting them joint third in Serie A with Roma and Atalanta.
Spurs aren’t in great shape either and are fresh from a 4-1 Premier League defeat to Leicester City.
“Milan need to move the ball around quickly and go vertical, because if they start doing these little passes here and there, Tottenham’s press will win it back and do damage,” former England and Milan coach Capello told Sky Sport Italia.
“I think Milan must attack the Tottenham defence, which is quite weak, and they don’t seem to have faith in this goalkeeper.”
With Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, even former Juventus winger Dejan Kulusevski, Capello looked to a veteran ex-Inter man as the key figure.
“The biggest danger is Perisic, who when he gets down the flank and can cross with his right or left foot, that is the one to watch absolutely.”
Di Canio is also a pundit for Sky Sport Italia and gave his views on how the Rossoneri can make the most of Spurs weaknesses.
“Eric Dier is permanently distracted and Tottenham’s defending on crosses is so bad that they allow even short forwards to get free headers. I’ve been watching back some of the videos and they really do not know how to man-mark in the penalty area. They haven’t a clue.”
