Eintracht Frankfurt
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 Kristijan 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.
Eintracht Frankfurt possible starting lineup:
Trapp; Ndicka, Hasebe, Tuta; Lenz, Sow, Rode, Knauff; Kamada, Kolo Muani, Lindstrom
Tottenham Hotspur
For the visitors, talented winger Dejan Kulusevski remains doubtful after missing the North London Derby, while Lucas Moura will also sit out due to a calf problem.
The fitness of Ben 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.
After an energy-sapping encounter on the weekend, we might see a few changes from Antonio Conte, with Yves Bissouma, Davinson Sanchez and Ryan Sessegnon pushing for a start.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Lloris; Romero, Dier, Sanchez; Sessegnon, Bentancur, Bissouma, Perisic; Richarlison, Kane, Son
Prediction: Eintracht Frankfurt 2-2 Tottenham Hotspur
