The scene is set for a huge night of Champions League action as Tottenham face off against Olympique Marseille on Tuesday night, with everything on the line. The clash could be seen as knockout round territory, with the group still hanging in the balance ahead of the final game.
Spurs start the day top of their group with eight points from five matches played so far, though they could end up as low as third and out of the competition by the end of it. However, should they avoid defeat, the Lilywhites will be guaranteed passage through to the next round.
With Antonio Conte banned from the touchline due to his red card late in the draw against Sporting CP, assistant manager Cristian Stellini is set to take charge and faced the media before the clash. "When Antonio is on the touchline, he lives with passion every game, but probably he struggles more when he stays in the crowd, and so it explains how Antonio lives his job." He told the media. "He's very passionate, and if he cannot communicate with us, he struggles a lot. Only this."
