Ange Postecoglou must mastermind a win

Ange Postecoglou tonight has a key decision to make in attack as Tottenham take on Eintracht Frankfurt in a season-defining Europa League quarter-final.

Johnson has scored 16 times in all competitions this season and his end-product may give him the edge over the Frenchman, whose "unique" qualities are valued by the head coach.

Elsewhere, Postecoglou's XI for tonight’s first leg is easier to predict, with Micky van de Ven set to return at centre-back for Ben Davies after being rested against Saints.

Pedro Porro, Djed Spence and Destiny Udogie are competing for two spots at full-back, with the Italian seemingly most likely to miss out again after struggling for form since returning from injury.

Rodrigo Bentancur and Lucas Bergvall have established themselves as Postecoglou's preferred midfield two, edging ahead of Pape Matar Sarr, Yves Bissouma and Archie Gray in the pecking order.

James Maddison is set to start a third game in a week at No.10, with Dejan Kulusevski (foot) still missing.

Heung-min Son and Dominic Solanke will surely make up the front three, with Mikey Moore, Richarlison and Mathys Tel likely to be among the subs.

Timo Werner, Sergio Reguilon and Fraser Forster are ineligible, while centre-halves Radu Dragusin (knee) and Kevin Danso (hamstring).

Tottenham predicted XI (4-3-3): Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence; Bentancur, Bergvall, Maddison; Johnson, Son, Solanke

Injured: Kulusevski, Danso, Dragusin
