Tottenham Hotspur starting XI: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Lenglet; Emerson, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Perisic; Richarlison, Kane, Son.

Tottenham Hotspur substitutes: Forster, Austin, Doherty, Skipp, Sanchez, Gil, Sessegnon, Spence, Sarr, Davies, Bissouma, White.

Tottenham return to Champions League action this evening as they travel to Germany to take on Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt.

Spurs opened their campaign with a 2-0 home win over Marseille but then lost by the same scoreline at Sporting.

Tottenham must respond to that defeat as well as Saturday’s 3-1 defeat to Arsenal.

Antonio Conte has given his players a chance to respond by naming the same starting XI again.

Hugo Lloris starts in goal for Tottenham behind a back three of Cristian Romero, Eric Dier and Clement Lenglet.

Emerson Royal keeps his place after picking up a red card against Arsenal whilst Ivan Perisic is at left wing back.

Rodrigo Bentancur and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg are in midfield with Richarlison and Son Heung-min supporting Harry Kane up top.

Conte has resisted the temptation to make changes even after such a disappointing defeat on Saturday.

Ben Davies makes the bench tonight as he returns from injury whilst Yves Bissouma is also a substitute.

They’re joined by Fraser Forster, Brandon Austin, Matt Doherty, Oliver Skipp, Davinson Sanchez, Bryan Gil, Ryan Sessegnon, Djed Spence, Pape Matar Sarr and Harvey White.
