Overview
- Kickoff is at 21:00 local time at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, with the match streamed exclusively on Amazon Prime Video and not available on free-to-air TV.
- Both teams enter on 11 points in the Champions League Ligaphase, so the result could shape a push into the top eight for direct last‑16 entry or leave a playoff route more likely.
- Tottenham’s slide continues with one win in eight matches and loud home chants calling for Thomas Frank’s dismissal after the West Ham defeat; Frank said he has roughly 11 outfield players available due to injuries and suspensions.
- Borussia Dortmund travel without midfielder Marcel Sabitzer because of a calf injury, and their efficient attack has been cited with 19 goals in six Champions League games.
- Squad calls draw attention at Spurs as Dominic Solanke returns to the Champions League list with Mathys Tel left out, and BILD reports Solanke starts while Dortmund open with Serhou Guirassy up front.
