TEAM FORM
Frankfurt: LLWWW ---- Spurs WWLWL
After a deflating derby day defeat on the weekend, we face a tricky Champions League trip to Eintracht Frankfurt on Tuesday, in a game that could have major implications in Group D. While we to a 3-1 defeat at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, Frankfurt became the first side to defeat early Bundesliga leaders Union Berlin this campaign, with a satisfying 2-0 home win.
We became the first English side to lose to Sporting Lisbon in Europe's top competition three weeks ago, as our former academy player Marcus Edwards led the line for the Portuguese side in a 2-0 win.
Os Leoes are top of the group, but face a tricky trip to Marseille this week, leaving a potential opportunity for the other two sides to catch up.
A 62nd-minute red card for Royal certainly did not help our cause on the weekend, allowing a galvanised Arsenal to push on and kill an otherwise competitive game. While not at our best, we did not completely crumble under the pressure, and were perhaps unfortunate to lose by two.
Similar resolve will be required in Frankfurt, to ensure that morale does not sink ahead of a demanding glut of games, as trips to Brighton & Hove Albion and Manchester United sandwich crucial European encounters
Fresh from a win over the league leaders, Frankfurt will be seeking a fourth consecutive victory with our visit, streak that began with a magnificent Champions League victory in Southern France.
After a dismal 3-0 defeat to Sporting Lisbon in their opening group game, the Germans snapped Marseille's streak of five successive home victories with an incisive, smash-and-grab performance at the Orange Velodrome, as Jesper Lindstrom fired home a crisp, left-footed finish to seal a 1-0 away win.
As ever with Die Adler, though, form has to be taken with a pinch of salt. Famed for their consistent inconsistency, Glasner's men have already followed up a 4-0 thumping of RB Leipzig with a dire 1-0 loss to Wolfsburg this season, so they will need to remain focused with the likes of Kane and Son sniffing around for any lapses of concentration.
While their home form is not fantastic, having lost three times at Deutsche Bank Park already this campaign, the Europa League holders are clearly a dangerous side, who should not be taken lightly by CoAs for the visitors, heading into one of the busiest fixture blocks in their recent history, there is absolutely no time to dwell on past performances.
Taking on a Frankfurt side who also have three points in Group D, a positive result in Germany could help to open up a valuable route through to the Champions League knockout stages.

Team News
For us, talented winger Kukusevski remains doubtful after missing the NLD, while Moura will also sit out due to a calf problem.
The fitness of Davies also remains in doubt, after sustaining a hairline fracture in that defeat to Sporting Lisbon last month. There was no sign of the Welshman on Saturday, prompting concerns that the defender might be missing for a few more games.
While Frankfurt came through their Bundesliga encounter unscathed on Saturday, with Randal Kolo Muani’s red card the only blot on the copybook. His suspension will not carry over into European competition, meaning the striker will be available for selection on Tuesday.
Versatile midfielder Kristiam Jakic picked up a knock on international duty for Croatia, and will probably be absent here after sitting out the weekend win, while new signing Jerome Onguene will have to wait once again to make his Frankfurt debut due to a hip injury.
Injured defenders Aurelio Buta and Almamy Toure are not registered for the Champions League, so will be unavailable, even if their discomforts clear up. Thirty-eight-year-old centre-back Makoto Hasebe will be the beneficiary, stepping into the back three for a fourth consecutive start.
