Automatic qualification for the Champions League<\/a> knockout stages will be the target for Tottenham<\/a>, who are likely to need nine points from their last three matches in the league phase if they are to finish in the top eight.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First up is a home fixture with Slavia Prague at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which can be watched on TNT Sports 1 at 8pm on Tuesday 9th December, before they finish their campaign against German duo Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tottenham predicted lineup vs Slavia Prague<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tottenham (4-2-3-1): <\/strong>Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence; Bentancur, Bergvall; Kudus, Simons, Odobert; Richarlison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tottenham team news vs Slavia Prague<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Left-back Destiny Udogie has been ruled out by manager Thomas Frank due to a hamstring injury. The Dane also revealed Brennan Johnson is rated “touch-and-go” for the game against the Czech visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Udogie will be sidelined for the rest of December, while Frank is also still missing James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Yves Bissouma, and Dominic Solanke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mathys Tel has not been registered for the Champions League, but centre-backs Radu Dragusin and Kota Takai are closing in on returns to action as they build up their fitness following lengthy spells on the treatment table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frank is unlikely to tinker too much from the side that beat Brentford 2-0 on Saturday, but Lucas Bergvall is pushing for a start, possibly at the expense of fellow midfield youngster Archie Gray, while Wilson Odobert could come into the team if Spurs want to freshen up their attacking options.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Tottenham eye win to keep top-8 hopes alive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Ex-Brentford boss Frank eased the pressure that had been building with the win over his former club at the weekend as Spurs secured only their second Premier League home victory of the season, and the first since the opening weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It was a much brighter performance, particularly from summer signing Xavi Simons, who has otherwise been disappointing since arriving from RB Leipzig. Simons assisted Richarlison for the first goal and then opened his account for the club later in the first half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Brazilian forward Richarlison has not always shown his best for Tottenham during an injury-hit spell since arriving from Everton, however, he has scored in four of his last five starts and is likely to continue to lead the attack in the absence of Solanke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A win is essential if Tottenham are to maintain their push for a top-eight finish and, despite their domestic home struggles, Spurs tend to be at their best in front of their own supporters when it comes to continental competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tottenham are unbeaten in 22 home European games, with 18 wins in that time, and they have triumphed with clean sheets in both of their Champions League matches in north London this season, beating Villarreal 1-0 and FC Copenhagen 4-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Another win to nil will be the aim on Tuesday as Slavia have failed to score in their last four Champions League matches and might be out of their depth at this kind of level judging by their 3-0 defeats to Arsenal and Inter Milan earlier on in the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n
