Tottenham are in pole position to make it to the Champions League last 16 from Group D as they welcome Sporting CP to North London on Wednesday. However, it's still an open group as the bottom side - Eintracht Frankfurt - are just three points off Spurs.
A win can confirm Antonio Conte's men a place in the round of 16, but unfavourable result means Tottenham could drop to third by the end of the fourth matchday.
Meanwhile, the Portuguese outfit can possibly go top in the group should results go their way as Ruben Amorim's side have handed Tottenham their only defeat since the latter's return to the European top flight.
