Tottenham will look to return to winning ways in the Champions League this evening as they travel to Germany to take on last season's Europa League winners Eintracht Frankfurt.
Antonio Conte's men kicked off their campaign in Group D with a 2-0 home win over Marseille before losing 2-0 at Sporting Lisbon after two late goals. They remain second on goal difference with Frankfurt also having one win and a defeat to their name thus far but will be looking to boost their chances of finishing as group winners.
With two matches against Oliver Glasner's side to come over the next eight days, who are the key players that Spurs will need to be wary of as they look to gain a grip hold on Group D?

Jesper Lindstrom
With four goals in 11 appearances, the attacking midfielder has been one of Frankfurt's stars so far this season and is already close to matching his tally of five from last season.
The 22-year-old Dane is an exciting prospect for the Eagles and has a knack for operating all over the pitch whilst also being a creative spark.
Spurs midfielder Pierre-Emile Højbjerg has been one of Conte's star performers this term and will know plenty about his fellow countryman Lindstrom which could prove to be a favourable factor for the visitors.
Daichi Kamada
With six goals in 11 matches, Kamada is currently Frankfurt's top scorer and will arguably provide the hosts' biggest threat in the final third. The Japan international also boasts three assists to his name and was a scorer and provider in Glasner's team's 3-1 win at Stuttgart prior to the international break.
Like with Lindstrom, the 26-year-old is an attacking midfielder and is therefore both clinical and creative whilst also being heavily involved for his side when they have the ball and are looking to regain it.
Once again, Kamada is an example of why Spurs' midfielders in particular will have to be at their best to leave Germany with three points.
Djibril Sow
A regular for both Frankfurt and his native Switzerland, Sow is another player who is likely to be heavily involved in proceedings that Spurs will have to keep an eye out for.
The 25-year-old was a kingpin for the German outfit in Europe last term en route to winning the Europa League and already this season the midfielder has featured in every possible game, starting all but one.
Sow is an absolute workhorse who will dictate play for the hosts, meaning that stopping him will give the north Londoners a good chance of stopping Frankfurt entirely.
