Tottenham will on Tuesday look to take another step towards the Champions League knockout stages with the visit of Slavia Prague.

A much-needed, morale-boosting win over Brentford means Spurs are seeking back-to-back home victories in all competitions, and another three points could see them move into the top eight of the league phase of the Champions League.

Czech champions Slavia Prague have already ended up on the wrong end of one meeting with a north London side this season - going down 3-0 at home to Arsenal - and head to Spurs without a win in Europe this season. It has been 18 years since they won a Champions League game.

Spurs will be aware that Slavia Prague have kept both Atalanta and Athletic Club at bay this season, so will need their shot-shy attack on top form on Tuesday.

TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on TNT Sports 1, with coverage starting at 7pm GMT.

Live blog: You can follow all the action on matchday via Standard Sport’s live blog, with expert analysis from Matt Verri at the ground.

Tottenham are sweating over the fitness of two more players following their win over Brentford.

Destiny Udogie missed the game with a “soft tissue injury”, which Thomas Frank hopes will not sideline the defender for “too long”. Randal Kolo Muani was seen limping in the mixed zone after the game, so he is a doubt for the game. Mathys Tel remains ineligible for the game.

Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski remain sidelined for the foreseeable. Radu Dragusin played another training ground friendly last week, but is also not registered for the competition.

Xavi Simons assisted one and scored a stunning second against Brenford, so deserves to keep his place. Lucas Bergvall and Wilson Odobert are options to come into the attack.

Spurs will be confident of getting another positive result on Tuesday, even with their inconsistent form. Slavia Prague have managed to secure three draws from their five games this season, but have not scored since the opening-round draw with Bodo/Glimt.
