Spurs host FC Copenhagen tonight. Get all the team news here…
Spurs can claim a much-needed three points against FC Copenhagen in the Champions League tonight.
Thomas Frank’s men were abject in losing 1-0 to London rivals Chelsea on Saturday. Added to a disappointing performance, the Spurs boss also had to contend with questions relating to an incident at the final whistle in which he appeared to be snubbed by both Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence.
The two defenders have since apologised and Frank insists it is time to move on but there is no doubt a win tonight would help quell the sense of unease at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Copenhagen’s form means it is a distinct possibility, with manager Jacob Neestrup saying his team’s performance “wasn’t good enough” in a 3-2 home win over second-bottom Fredericia on Saturday.
“We’re still in a difficult place and things don’t come easy for us,” rued Neestrup. “That’s how it is at the moment and it will probably be like that for the rest of the year, where it’s just about winning our games.
The reigning champions are five points off the pace in the Superliga and took one point from their first five games in all competitions in October, including Champions League defeats at Qarabag and at home to Dortmund.
