Antonio Conte's Tottenham squad for their upcoming Champions League matches has been revealed. Spurs played just once a week, in the first few weeks of the season.
Their first mid-week game came against West Ham last week, with their trip to the London Stadium ending in a draw. Now the Lilywhites have won four and drawn two of their opening six fixtures, currently being level on points with Man City.
Now the fixture schedule gets even busier, with their return to Champions League football. Tottenham's group includes Marseille, Sporting CP and Frankfurt, with their first match being against the former.

The French side are also unbeaten in their first six matches in Ligue 1, winning five and drawing one. Therefore it is likely to be a tough battle between the two sides, who will both want to get their European campaign off to a good start.
The squads for the group stage of the competition have now been revealed. To be in line with UEFA's rules, Spurs must have a minimum of two goalkeepers in their squad and eight 'locally trained players'.
If a team has less than eight, then the maximum number of players on List A is reduced accordingly. Teams can make changes to their squads if they get through to the knockout stages and football.london takes a look at those involved in Tottenham's squad.
Goalkeeper: Hugo Lloris, Fraser Forster, Brandon Austin
Defence: Matt Doherty, Davinson Sanchez, Emerson Royal, Eric Dier, Cristian Romero, Ryan Sessegnon, Djed Spence, Japhet Tanganga, Ben Davies, Clement Lenglet, Ivan Perisic
Midfield: Oliver Skipp, Pierre Emile Hojbjerg, Pape Matar Sarr, Rodrigo Bentancur, Yves Bissouma
Attack: Richarlison, Harry Kane, Bryan Gil, Lucas Moura, Dejan Kulusevski, Son Heung-min
There are no surprises in Conte's team selection with all six of his summer arrivals involved. Gil and Sarr are amongst the youngsters selected, as well as the usual players.
However, after the summer incomings and outgoings, Spurs only have seven homegrown players (Spence, Tanganga, Kane, Skipp, Sessegnon, Austin and Forster). With Dier, Davies and Doherty not being counted as homegrown in the European competition, this means they are one short of the requirement and will mean their maximum squad number will be reduced.
Harvey White could be the eighth homegrown player, although he could qualify for Tottenham's List B. However this would take the total to 26 and would mean a non-homegrown player would still need to be omitted.
Gil or Sarr are perhaps the most likely two who could miss out, due to their lack of game time. This list is yet to be confirmed by Spurs and therefore fans will have to wait to see who is omitted.
Tottenham's match on Saturday means they only have a few days to prepare for their first European fixture of the season and the Italian will want his squad to start as they mean to go on, with a win and a solid performance.
