An out-of-form Tottenham Hotspur side head into Tuesday's Champions League showdown with Red Star Belgrade knowing that anything other than victory would leave them with an uphill battle to qualify from Group B.
Last season's runners-up were humiliated at home by Bayern Munich in their last European outing, conceding five second-half goals en route to a 7-2 drubbing which leaves them with just one point from their opening two games.
Saturday's 1-1 draw with winless Watford means that it is now just one win in their last seven outings across all competitions, and only two in 11 games since the opening day of the season.
With the prospect of Liverpool looming next weekend, Mauricio Pochettino will be desperate for a much-needed victory before then, and here Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Red Star's visit.

There was a collective wince and intake of breath when Hugo Lloris's arm bent in the wrong direction against Brighton & Hove Albion, adding serious injury to the insult of conceding another cheap goal. The Spurs skipper is not expected back in training before the end of the year having damaged the ligaments in his elbow.
