--------------------------------
Tottenham Hotspur
While Tottenham welcomed a few of their key stars back into the fold over the last few weeks, there are still many of those missing from action ahead of the game against Eintracht Frankfurt.
For instance, Ange Postecoglou can rely on starting choice defenders Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, but the squad is missing Radu Dragusin and Kevin Danso. Dejan Kulusevski is probably that one star missing who would have started games for Spurs had he stayed fit.
There are some others like Timo Werner, Fraser Forster and Antonin Kinsky who are ineligible as the club decided against registering them for the Europa League squad. Postecoglou is expected to name a familiar lineup to face Eintracht Frankfurt on home soil, with Pedro Porro likely to keep his place at right-back, while Djed Spence will be preferred over Destiny Udogie at left-back.
Rodrigo Bentancur will have Lucas Bergvall and James Maddison for company on either side in the midfield trifecta. Dominic Solanke continues to search for form, and he will lead the line for Tottenham against Eintracht Frankfurt. Son Heung-min and Brennan Johnson will start on either wing.
Eintracht Frankfurt
There are a lot of doubtful names for Eintracht Frankfurt ahead of this trip to North London. Kevin Trapp, Ansgar Knauff, Can Uzun, Krisztian Lisztes, and Junior Dina Ebimbe are all in with a chance of missing out. The big miss for the German side will be Elye Wahi and Timothy Chandler, with the duo missing through injuries.
Dino Toppmoller will keep his shape intact with a 4-2-3-1 formation set to take shape against Tottenham. Robin Koch and Arthur Theate will pair up at the heart of the defence, with Rasmus Kristensen and Nathaniel Brown taking up the full-back roles. Tuta and Ellyes Skhiri will feature in the central midfield positions, with Hugo Larsson reprising the advanced role for the away side.
Mario Gotze, who was in top form against, Ajax will keep his place on the right-hand side of the attack, with Jean-Matteo Bahoya on the wide areas. Hugo Ekitike has been sensational for Eintracht Frankfurt, and he will continue to lead the line for the German club against Tottenham.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Vicario; Pedro Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bergvall, Maddison, Bentancur; Johnson, Solanke, Son
Eintracht Frankfurt possible starting lineup:
Kaua Santos; Kristensen, Theate, Koch, Brown; Shkiri, Larsson, Tuta; Gotze, Ekitike, Bahoya

Tottenham Hotspur have reached their first quarterfinal in a major European competition since the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League season
Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Eintracht Frankfurt
Spurs have reserved most of their best form for the Europa League this season, and Postecoglou must ensure his side takes an advantage into the second leg at least, if he wants to alleviate the pressure on his job.
Frankfurt very rarely lose in this competition, and they knocked West Ham United out across London in 2022, but their form has taken a slight hit recently, following Marmoush's departure in particular.
