How Tottenham could line up in Champions League clash vs PSG (4-2-3-1) | OneFootball

Tottenham are set to visit the iconic Parc des Princes stadium in the French capital, where they will take on Ligue 1 champions Paris-Saint Germain in the Champions League.

Spurs are heading into this fixture on the back of yet another miserable performance and result in the north London derby as they fell to a 4-1 defeat against Arsenal.

Back-to-back games without a win have seen Tottenham plummet to ninth in the Premier League table, casting doubt over Thomas Frank’s future at the club.

They’re three points further below in the Champions League standings, but a win against PSG tonight could move them into the top eight if other results go their way.

However, the odds are heavily stacked against Frank’s troops, and their current form hardly inspires any hopes of clinching a win in France.

Tottenham made light work of FC Copenhagen in their last Champions League outing, claiming a 4-0 win to continue their unbeaten start to the European campaign.

The defending champions will be Tottenham’s biggest test so far, and the win against Copenhagen was only Tottenham’s second in their last eight games across all competitions.

How Tottenham could line up

Tottenham will need a performance for the ages to come away from the French capital with their unbeaten record intact, but at least Frank has a largely healthy squad to pick from.

After seeing his improvised three-man set-up fail miserably against Arsenal, Frank should return his backline to a more familiar system.

That should see a back four of Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, and Destiny Udogie line up ahead of Guglielmo Vicario in goal.

Joao Palhinha and Pape Matar Sarr should anchor the midfield, but will need all the physicality in their arsenal to deal with PSG’s technical players in the middle of the park.

Xavi Simons should return to the line-up after starting on the bench against Arsenal.

The Dutch forward, who set Spurs back £52m, should slot into the number 10 role, with Richarlison and Mohammed Kudus on either flank.

Randal Kolo Muani should lead the line, looking to make his mark against his parent club.
