Looking for a Tottenham vs Eintracht Frankfurt live stream? We've got you covered with our handy guide.

Tottenham welcome Eintracht Frankfurt to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with the teams level on three points in a competitive-looking Group D of the Champions League.

Last week's reverse meeting finished 0-0 as Spurs failed to score for the second Champions League game running. Antonio Conte's side previously lost 2-0 at Sporting Lisbon – although that was one of only two defeats they've suffered in all competitions this season (the other coming at Arsenal the weekend before last). Spurs have won nine of their previous 11 home Champions League group matches.

Eintracht are appearing in the Champions League for the first time, having qualified as the 2021/22 Europa League winners. And they've given themselves a good chance of reaching the round of 16 by drawing with Spurs and winning away to Marseille. Oliver Glasner's team do come into this one off the back of a 3-0 loss at Bochum on Saturday, but they have four out of seven on the road in all competitions this term.

Team news

Conte has almost a full squad at his disposal, with only the injured Dejan Kulusevski and Japhet Tanganga unavailable.

The same is true for the visitors, with just Luca Pellegrini and Aurelio Buta sidelined.

VPN guide

Use a VPN to watch Champions League football from outside your country

If you’re out of the country for a round of Champions League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there, including:
