After going head-to head in Germany last Tuesday, Tottenham and Eintracht Frankfurt will battle it out once again on Wednesday evening when they meet at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Following a 0-0 stalemate at Deutsche Bank Park, Antonio Conte's men will be intent on securing all three points as they look to take a big step towards the knockout round.
Having a number of opportunities to win in Germany, Spurs need to do so much better in front of goal if they are to get the better of Frankfurt and move three points ahead of them in Group D. Saturday's win at Brighton & Hove Albion will certainly boost their confidence, with Oliver Glasner's team coming into the contest on the back of a 3-0 loss at VfL Bochum.
Making four changes at the Amex Stadium, Conte is likely to make a couple of alterations here and there with another busy week on the cards. So who will he select in his team on Wednesday evening? Our football.london Tottenham reporters have named the sides they would pick to face the Bundesliga outfit.

This is a difficult one because Spurs need to win this game but Conte also needs to make some changes with Everton also on the horizon with only two rest days. Frankfurt struggled to trouble Spurs in Germany so Conte might feel he can make some more changes in this tie.
Clement Lenglet could come in for Ben Davies and Davinson Sanchez could replace Cristian Romero as well if Conte feels he can make a couple of changes.
The 3-5-2 would allow him to rest another of the two strikers and perhaps this might be the time for Harry Kane to get his turn, but that's a big call and probably not one the striker wants in the biggest competition of all. That might mean a return to the 3-4-3 because Son was only recently rested.
In the midfield Yves Bissouma will be wanting more minutes and Oliver Skipp will want time at some point as well but a 3-4-3 might not allow for it unless Conte rests his main pairing.
Gold's team: Lloris; Sanchez, Dier, Lenglet; Emerson, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Perisic; Richarlison, Kane, Son.

Making four changes at Brighton on Saturday evening, Antonio Conte is likely to tinker with his Tottenham XI once again due to the amount of games coming up. The fixture may also bring about a change in formation back to 3-4-3 as Richarlison started the game at the Amex on the bench.
One alteration could see Clement Lenglet return on the left of defence in place of Ben Davies, with Cristian Romero then making way at the weekend against Everton rather than changing two of the backline in the Champions League. The boss has a decision to make over his wing-backs as Emerson Royal is eligible in Europe as his three-match suspension only applies to domestic games.
It would be incredibly harsh on Ryan Sessegnon to miss out after such a good game at Brighton, meaning he stays in the XI to take on the German side. Given the likelihood of Conte starting Ivan Perisic after his absence from the team at Brighton, the Croat starts at right wing-back ahead of both Emerson and Matt Doherty, who can have a breather before Everton after not a lot of minutes this term.
Finally, a switch in formation will see Richarlison replace Yves Bissouma in the team, as was the case late on at the Amex.
Guest's team: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Lenglet; Perisic, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Sessegnon; Richarlison, Kane, Son
