Eintracht Frankfurt vs Tottenham LIVE: kick-off details, TV coverage, confirmed line-ups and score updates
football.london is reporting live from Deutsche Bank Park as Tottenham Hotspur face Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
Spurs are aiming to book their place in the Champions League last 16 with a victory in Germany. Thomas Frank knows that three points in Frankfurt would allow the north London side to bypass February’s play-off round and progress directly to the knockout stage in March. However, Tottenham arrive with their usual availability concerns, with the Dane able to select only 11 senior outfield players.
Eintracht Frankfurt, currently without a permanent manager, are also enduring a difficult spell. The German side have conceded three goals in each of their last five matches and are already out of contention for the knockout rounds. Local reports suggest interim coach Dennis Schmitt could rotate his squad with Saturday’s Bundesliga clash against Bayer Leverkusen in mind.
The question remains whether Spurs can capitalise on Frankfurt’s struggles—or if “Dr Tottenham” will once again come to the rescue of an out-of-form opponent.
