After playing a 0-0 draw in Germany last week against Eintracht Frankfurt, Antonio Conte will expect Tottenham to take care of home business during the visit of the Europa League champions for the fourth day of the Champions League on Wednesday. To solve some of their problems, Conte went to a 3-5-2 presenting Yves Bissouma for Richarlison in the Premier League, which led to a 1-0 victory on Brighton, and it would be logical to have the same configuration to The house to control a team of Frankfurt in counter-attack.
In a 3-4-3, the solid Frankfurt game game by Daichi Kamada and Jesper Lindstrom could be able to find space between the lateral rear and central defenders. With the level of Spurs and Frankfurt at four points, the winner of the match would come in a good position to qualify for the knockout stages, which would make a match even more because each team has a victory, a defeat and a match No one in his group D.

Scenarios
Tottenham: Conte had a little concern after Harry Kane left Brighton’s match with an ankle injury, but he will be able to start the match after his exam did not reveal any swelling in the ankle. Dejan Kulusevski could also return to the team after his thigh injury he contracted with Sweden, but after not appearing since September 17 for the Spurs, Conte could start with him on the bench. At the right back, while Matt Doherty started in the league due to the suspension of Emerson Royal, Conte will have a large decision to make on who will get the green light in the Champions League. Royal is the best defender while Doherty is the best attacker, but Doherty also seemed rusty against Brighton, which complicated things.
