Tottenham Hotspur host Eintracht Frankfurt tonight in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final.
Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou continues to face speculation over his future with his side in 14th in the Premier League, though this competition still presents a chance to win a much-coveted trophy in his second season at the helm.
And Spurs have fared much better in Europe than domestically, having finished fourth in the league phase after five wins from eight before defeating AZ Alkmaar 3-2 on aggregate to reach this round.
In comparison, Eintracht Frankfurt finished fifth in the table, a point below Spurs, though they cruised past Dutch champions-elect Ajax with a 6-2 win in the last-16.
They sit third in the Bundesliga, though the 20-point gap to leaders Bayern Munich means that the German side will have their sights firmly set on winning this tournament as they did in 2022.
