Tottenham welcome Eintracht Frankfurt to London tonight in a crucial Champions League group stage game.
Group D is finely poised at the halfway stage, with Spurs and their German opposition locked on three points in the group, two points behind leaders Sporting.
Antonio Conte’s chargers could only manage a 0-0 in Frankfurt last week, but the Premier League side will be favourites to keep the three points in north London and take an important step towards the knock-out stages.
Conte’s approach has been the subject of much criticism in recent weeks, with his risk-adverse tactical approach causing some disquiet amongst fans who will be hoping a much-improved performance tonight.
Here is your brief ahead of this evening’s match.
