Tottenham hosts Copenhagen in the Champions League, seeking to bounce back from a dismal derby defeat against Chelsea.

Tottenham will be looking to shake off a miserable derby defeat against Chelsea as they host Copenhagen in the Champions League. Spurs suffered a 1-0 home loss, mustering a record-low xG, and were booed off at both half-time and full-time.

Manager Thomas Frank has acknowledged his team’s failings in attack, which have seen them scrape one win and two draws so far. More dropped points could spell the end of their hopes of finishing in the top eight.

Copenhagen, winless after three games, may not have the profile of a European elite, but will pose a tricky test given their experience at this level. The Danish side has shown resilience in their previous matches, making them a tough opponent.

Tottenham’s injury woes have eased over the weekend, with Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie coming off the bench against Chelsea. However, Lucas Bergvall is expected to miss this European game and the visit of Manchester United at the weekend due to concussion protocols.

Xavi Simons will get another chance to impress, while Wilson Odobert and Brennan Johnson will be battling for the left-wing spot. Richarlison could get the nod up front with Mathys Tel ineligible and Randal Kolo Muani starting the last two games.

Copenhagen are sweating on the fitness of left-back Marcos Lopez, who was taken off during the 1-1 draw with Midtjylland at the weekend. Gabriel Pereira missed that game through illness and remains a doubt.
