Back-to-back wins over Slavia Prague and Borussia Dortmund have put Tottenham <\/a>in a strong position to clinch an automatic place the round of 16 in the Champions League<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those two victories have moved Spurs up to fifth in the standings and a win on Wednesday will seal a top-eight finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The north London outfit finish the league format with a trip to Germany, when they face Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday (8pm, live on TNT Sports 5).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hosts are 33rd and can no longer qualify, further adding to Tottenham\u2019s hopes that they can finish the league format on a high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tottenham predicted lineup vs Frankfurt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tottenham (4-2-3-1):<\/strong> Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bissouma, Gray: Odobert, Simons, Spence; Solanke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Tottenham team news vs Frankfurt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tottenham will make a late decision on the fitness of Joao Palhinha, with the midfielder having missed the last three matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With January signing Conor Gallagher ineligible in Europe, Archie Gray is likely to start in the middle of the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thomas Frank has played down concerns over the fitness of Cristian Romero and Pedro Porro, despite both players being removed in the second half of the 2-2 draw at Burnley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frank has switched between a back three and a back four in recent weeks, and is expected to go with the latter for the clash in Frankfurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tottenham boss is still without the likes of Ben Davies, Rodrigo Bentancur, Lucas Bergvall, Mohammed Kudus and Richarlison.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Frank on the edge at Spurs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Spurs\u2019 form in Europe looks to have been the deciding factor in the board sticking by Thomas Frank for now, with a place in the last 16 set to be a big financial bonus for the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tottenham are without a win in six in the Premier League, a run that has seen them slip to 14th and only eight points above the relegation zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Frank\u2019s men have lost just one of their seven European games and next face an opponent who have struggled defensively this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Nobody has conceded more goals than Frankfurt in this season\u2019s Champions League (19), with Liverpool having already won 5-1 at Deutsche Bank Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Spurs though will have to be wary of the home team\u2019s threat going forward, with only Bayern Munich scoring more Bundesliga goals so far than Frankfurt, who are averaging 2.05 goals per game domestically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    These two teams met in the Europa League last season, with Spurs winning 1-0 in Germany – thanks to a penalty from Dominic Solanke – en route to lifting the trophy.<\/p>\n\n\n
