Tottenham Hotspur enter matchday four of the UEFA Champions League knowing that a win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday will be crucial in their hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages.
Both Spurs and Frankfurt sit level on four points in Group D, two points adrift of leaders Sporting Lisbon, meaning either side could jump into first place with a win, should the Portuguese outfit lose to Marseille.
The reverse fixture in central Germany last week saw the sides play out a rather dull 0-0 draw in what was yet another low scoring game in the group.
