Tottenham take on Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League tonight with Antonio Conte facing some big decisions ahead of the game.
Spurs drew 0-0 with Frankfurt last week as they came back from Germany with a point.
The Bundesliga side now head to London and Tottenham will be looking to pick up a crucial win.
Four points from three games is solid if unspectacular for Tottenham and Conte will be looking for three points after Saturday’s 1-0 win over Brighton and Hove Albion.
Tottenham predicted lineup v Eintracht Frankfurt
Tottenham seemingly aren’t nursing any more injuries from the weekend.
That means Hugo Lloris – unless there is a late problem we don’t know about – will surely start in goal for Tottenham tonight.
Cristian Romero and Eric Dier are mainstays of Conte’s back three and will surely start once again this evening.
Ben Davies was Tottenham’s left-sided centre back against Brighton but we’re backing Clement Lenglet to come in for him against Frankfurt.
Hailed as ‘excellent’ by Cristian Romero, Lenglet has impressed for Tottenham since arriving on loan from Barcelona.
Conte switched his wing backs against Brighton, going with Ryan Sessegnon and Matt Doherty at the Amex Stadium.
We assume that Conte will switch both again tonight with Emerson Royal and Ivan Perisic coming in to start at right and left wing back respectively.
The big call for Conte is whether he goes with a 3-5-2 again or switches back to 3-4-3.
We think it will be the latter, with Yves Bissouma dropping out of the team tonight.
That would see Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur start in the centre of midfield.
Harry Kane will lead the line with Son Heung-min coming in from the left flank with Richarlison returning to the starting lineup on the right side.
Dejan Kulusevski is back in training and Lucas Moura is returning but it’s too soon for either of them to start.
Moura will be on the bench, possibly alongside the likes of Fraser Forster, Davinson Sanchez, Davies, Doherty, Sessegnon, Bissouma and Bryan Gil.
Tottenham predicted lineup v Eintracht Frankfurt: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Lenglet; Emerson, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Perisic; Richarlison, Son, Kane.
