Tottenham Hotspur hopes North London can be the key to keeping knockout round positioning as Antonio Conte’s Spurs welcome Eintracht Frankfurt to the English capital on Wednesday.

Spurs couldn’t find a way to goal in a scoreless draw last week in Germany but can guarantee top-two footing heading into the final two UEFA Champions League Group D fixtures by beating Eintracht.

The visitors enter the game on a 232-minute goalless streak across all competitions, including the nil-nil with Spurs.

As for the hosts. Tottenham beat Brighton 1-0 at the weekend in an especially emotional win considering the death of fitness coach Gian Piero Ventrone last week.

Group D remains very winnable for Spurs, who enter the fourth round of matches just two points off leaders Sporting Lisbon. Spurs host Sporting in North London on Oct. 26. Eintracht Frankfurt also has four points so this one’s huge, while Marseille lurks in fourth place with three points ahead of a trip to Lisbon.

Despite some (minor) frustrations over Tottenham’s rather defensive style of play under Conte, it’s worth noting they’ve only failed to score once all season (the loss to Sporting). Harry Kane leads the way for Spurs in the Premier League with eight goals, including one against Arsenal, on the heels of Son Heung-min’s hat trick against the Foxes prior to the international break. Finally off the mark for the season and locked into a starting spot for the time being with Dejan Kulusevski battling a thigh injury. Richarlison scored his first two goals for Tottenham in the home win over Marseille, but the Brazilian has since gone cold without a goal or assist in two-straight UCL starts.

QUESTIONABLE: Dejan Kulusevski (thigh). OUT: Japhet Tanganga (knock)
