Tottenham v Borussia Dortmund: Champions League – live

Tottenham Hotspur faces an uphill battle against Borussia Dortmund in their Champions League match, with Thomas Frank's job hanging precariously in the balance. Despite picking up 11 points from six games, Spurs' struggles in the Premier League have sparked outrage among fans, who are demanding Frank's head.

Frank has been forced to make five changes to his team, four of which are enforced due to suspensions and injuries. The lineup includes Kevin Danso, Destiny Udogie, Lucas Bergvall, Djed Spence, and Dominic Solanke, with either Danso or Udogie starting as a wide attacker.

In contrast, Borussia Dortmund has made three changes, bringing in Ramy Bensebaini, Yan Couto, and Serhou Guirassy to replace Emre Can, Julian Ryerson, and Fabio Silva. The German side is second in the Bundesliga, 11 points behind Bayern Munich, but have taken 11 points from their six Champions League games.

Spurs' home form has been impressive in the Champions League, with three wins and eight goals scored from just three games. However, all eyes are on Frank's team as they face a tougher test against Dortmund. With Spurs down to the bare bones, they will need to dig deep to overcome their opponents and secure a vital win.

As Frank takes charge of his team for what could be his final match in charge, he has insisted that he is standing by the Tottenham hierarchy despite the mounting pressure on him. However, it remains to be seen whether this declaration will prove to be merely a stay of execution, or if the Spurs board will finally come to their senses and make the inevitable decision.

The big question now is: can Spurs overcome Dortmund's star-studded lineup and secure a crucial win? With kick-off set for 8pm, fans are on the edge of their seats as they await what promises to be an action-packed match.
 
🤦‍♂️ This Tottenham Hotspur team is like the one friend you love but are secretly terrified to hang out with. You know they're gonna show up late and eat all your snacks, but deep down, you still wanna support 'em 🍿👊 And Thomas Frank's job security? Yeah, good luck with that 😂. I mean, 11 points from six games is a decent start, but it's not like they're getting any younger... or wiser 💡. Dortmund's squad is on another level, and Spurs are basically sending out a "please save us" lineup 🤯. It's gonna be an interesting match, that's for sure 😬. Will Frank pull off the miracle? Maybe, but I wouldn't count on it 🤷‍♂️.
 
omg u gotta think about this, if spurs lose dont expect them 2 make any changes lol 🤣 their squad is so thin right now, how r they gonna compete w/ a team like Dortmund? esp considering spurs are already struggling in the premier league, its not gonna be easy 4 them. and lets b real, frank needs 2 step down, his tactics r justnt working & its gettin old. borussia dornt be that difficult 2 beat 😂
 
🤔 i think spurs need to focus on their squad depth issues. it's not just about frank's tactics or management skills. have you noticed how many players he's been forced to bring in due to injuries and suspensions? 💉 that says a lot about the state of his team. Dortmund might be strong, but if spurs can get some consistency from their starting lineup, they've got a good shot at this one 👊
 
omg i cant believe its come to this - spurs is really struggling right now 🤯 i mean ive been saying it for ages that we need to bring in some fresh blood and make some big changes but its not just about the transfers, its about the team dynamic as a whole. frank needs to dig deep and find some answers fast cuz if he loses this match his job is done 🔴💔
 
🤔 I'm surprised Spurs are getting so much heat just because they're not dominating in the Premier League. The team's performance is all over the place and Frank's tactics seem to be under fire too. Dortmund looks super strong, but you gotta give credit where it's due - that team has been on a roll lately 🎯. What if Spurs' issues are more about their squad depth than Frank's management skills? He's made some bold moves with those young players... could they just pay off? ⚡
