Tottenham are at home for the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final clash against Eintracht Frankfurt tonight. A bitterly disappointing campaign in which Spurs are currently 14th in the Premier League table, can be somewhat salvaged with success on the European stage as the additional prize for the winners of the competition is a place in next season’s Champions League.
Ange Postecoglou, who is increasingly coming under pressure over his future, has been boosted by the return to fitness of several key players in recent weeks including Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Dominic Solanke. The Spurs boss will know the importance of a positive first leg result given his side have struggled away from home of late.
In the round of 16, Spurs overturned a one-goal deficit to overcome AZ Alkmaar 3-2 on aggregate, whilst Frankfurt - winners of the competition in 2022 - made light work of Ajax, thrashing them 6-2 on aggregate to set up tonight’s quarter-final first leg.
