Tottenham Hotspur will host Eintracht Frankfurt in their Europa League quarter-final first leg on Thursday night knowing their season hinges on their fate in the competition.
Spurs have spluttered in the Premier League and lie 14th in the table, despite having scored the second-highest amount of goals in the competition. They reached the Carabao Cup semi-finals but exited in the fourth round of the FA Cup which means the Europa League offers the last chance for Ange Postecoglou and his players to make something of this campaign and try to win the rarest of things at Tottenham in recent decades - a trophy.
Frankfurt will present a tough test for the north London side, having dispatched Dutch giants Ajax with little fuss in the round of 16. Postecoglou finally has a nearly full squad to choose from, with only Dejan Kulusevski, Kevin Danso and long-term absentee Radu Dragusin missing.
The Tottenham head coach has decisions to make in various areas of the pitch, particularly in the full-back slots and who plays on the right wing. Spurs are then back in action on Sunday at Wolves and those who do not start against Frankfurt could well do so at Molineux with such a quick turnaround.
Here's the team we reckon Postecoglou might select for this big Europa League quarter-final clash:
Goalkeeper - Guglielmo Vicario:The Italian will need to keep Frankfurt out to ensure Spurs take an advantage to Germany for the second leg.
Right-back - Pedro Porro
Spurs need to create chances against Frankfurt and the Spaniard can put in a dangerous ball from the right, but he needs to be switched on his own box.
Centre-back - Cristian Romero
The Argentine looked sharp again on Sunday and Spurs need their vice-captain to keep the tempo of the team high with his aggression and passing.
Centre-back - Micky van de Ven
Given a rest against Southampton, Spurs will have a fresh, fast version of the Dutchman, who also needs to find his sharpness.
Left-back - Djed Spence
Spence is more of a creative goal threat than Udogie and that's what this decision could come down to.
