We asked our Tottenham reporters Alasdair Gold and Ryan Taylor to name the team they would select to face Manchester City
Tottenham must carry their European form into the Premier League on Sunday as they host Manchester City.
Spurs won 2-0 at Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday night to finish fourth in the big Champions League table and leap into the last 16. Thomas Frank's side finished above the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid, reigning champions PSG and most of Europe's big names.
That continental form remains in complete contrast to Tottenham's Premier League struggles. They sit 14th in the table and face a tough run of fixture in a row which starts against Pep Guardiola's side, then takes in Manchester United, Newcastle and a north London derby against Arsenal.
We asked our Spurs reporters Alasdair Gold and Ryan Taylor what team they would select to face City at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday. Here are the starting line-ups they went for.

It's going to be a luxury for Frank in going from just 11 available senior outfield players to suddenly having a few choices in most positions.
After going again with a 3-4-3 formation and praising it once more as a success, it seems the Spurs boss has found a formation that he believes gets more out of his players.
So that could be the way again as City come to town and Frank will be hoping that Micky van de Ven is fit enough to come in on the left side of the back three. If not Joao Palhinha could play in the trio again, Radu Dragusin might come in or the Dane could play Destiny Udogie again as a left-sided centre-back and hand a big debut to Souza.
In the midfield there are suddenly options galore with Conor Gallagher and Yves Bissouma fresh to come in. Archie Gray was excellent in midweek and that might give the 19-year-old a leg up over the competition, or Frank could go for more experience against Guardiola's men. Pape Matar Sarr also completed his first full game in a while and has been a pest to City in the past.
Mathys Tel is a fresh option in the attacking slots while Dominic Solanke is likely to come back into the starting line-up after his late cameo and goal in Germany despite Randal Kolo Muani's improved display.
Gold's XI: Vicario; Danso, Romero, Van de Ven; Spence, Gallagher, Palhinha, Udogie; Odobert, Xavi; Solanke.

It's a huge game on Sunday for Frank, who needs to prove he can deliver the same performances we've associated with Spurs in the Champions League this season, in the Premier League.
However commendable a top-eight group stage finish is, fans remain disgruntled and the Dane has a long way to go before he starts to turn the tide.
Vicario starts in goal but I would go with a back-four as it's likely Van de Ven would have to rush back to make City and Spurs cannot afford to lose him long-term. Danso has also excelled in defence for Tottenham so he should partner Romero with Spence and Udogie at full-back.
In midfield, Gallagher comes back in alongside Gray as Spurs will need to press City aggressively. Not only that but Palhinha's condition also needs to be managed following a tough shift in Germany.
In attack, Tel comes back in on the left, Xavi operates as the No.10 and Odobert starts on the right. Despite Kolo Muani's goal vs Frankfurt, Solanke starts for me and you swap them on 60 minutes.
