Team news from Frankfurt vs Spurs in the Champions League
Eintracht Frankfurt welcome Tottenham to Deutsche Bank Park as both sides conclude their Champions League league-phase campaigns with very different objectives.
The hosts have already been eliminated from contention, sitting near the foot of the 36-team table, while Spurs arrive in Germany knowing that victory would all but secure automatic qualification to the last 16.
Eintracht Frankfurt’s European campaign has unravelled rapidly after a promising domestic season last year, with Dennis Schmitt’s side unable to translate Bundesliga form onto the continental stage.
Die Adler have managed just one win from seven league-phase matches, leaving them stranded on four points and well outside the top-24 cut-off.
Tottenham travel having endured a frustrating domestic run, with Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Burnley making it five Premier League matches without a win.
But they go into the game in fifth place in the Champions League and could lock down a crucial top-eight finish.
Here’s how the sides shape up.

Tottenham boss Thomas Frank makes five changes from the side that needed a late leveller to claim a 2-2 draw at Burnley.
Destiny Udogie, Archie Gray, Pape Matar Sarr, Joao Palhinha and Randal Kolo Muani come into the side.
