Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing a top-eight finish in the UEFA Champions League league phase table, but Eintracht Frankfurt stands in their way. Here’s how to watch the clash between Tottenham and Frankfurt on Wednesday night.
Thomas Frank remains under pressure and will be hoping his side can repeat last week’s result, when they beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in the Champions League, to ease some of the heat.
However, that relief was short-lived, with Frank once again under intense scrutiny following a 2-2 draw with Burnley last weekend.
While domestic results continue to falter, Spurs have been impressive in Europe and are now one win away from finishing in the top eight of the league-phase table, although Eintracht Frankfurt stand in their way.

Spurs and Frankfurt team news
Coming into Wednesday’s clash, Thomas Frank is again facing the prospect of being without as many as 12 first-team players, a scenario he also dealt with ahead of the Borussia Dortmund meeting, which ended in a 2-0 victory.
MORE SPURS STORIES
James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Mohammed Kudus, Rodrigo Bentancur, Joao Palhinha, Ben Davies, Lucas Bergvall and Richarlison are all currently sidelined for Tottenham.
Pape Matar Sarr could return to the squad following his illness, while Palhinha could still feature, with his issue understood to be less severe than those affecting several Spurs players expected to spend weeks on the treatment table.
Meanwhile, several other players are unavailable for selection because they were not registered in Tottenham’s initial Champions League squad.
Mathys Tel was recently removed from the Champions League squad to make way for Dominic Solanke, while Radu Dragusin, Conor Gallagher and Yves Bissouma were not included in the original group.
Eintracht Frankfurt are also dealing with several absentees, including Arnaud Kalimuendo-Muinga, Elias Baum, Jonathan Burkardt, Michy Batshuayi, Younes Ebnoutalib and Timothy Chandler.
Frankfurt’s Champions League fate is a major boost for Spurs
Tottenham come into this game sitting in fifth place, which is an impressive achievement for Frank’s side, who are giving a good account of themselves in their debut Champions League campaign under the new format.
Spurs now have the opportunity to wrap up their league-phase campaign by securing a top-eight finish, which would send them straight into the round of 16.
Eintracht Frankfurt, meanwhile, have little to play for as they sit in 33rd place and have their Champions League fate all but sealed, something that should work in Tottenham’s favour.
