The UEFA Champions League league phase is is full flow, as 36 teams will play eight matches — four home and four away — in bids to reach the knockout rounds. There are two paths to the Round of 16: Eight teams will qualify directly via the league phase table, while eight more will emerge from playoff ties pitting teams 9-24 in home-and-away legs.

The Lilywhites have been hit-and-miss in the league phase so far, but still have a chance of making the top eight if they win out. While Slavia Prague have amassed just three points via three draws so far, Tuesday’s game may be a little trickier for a spritely Spurs than some are projecting.

For the fifth Liverpool game in a row, Mohamed Salah isn't in the starting eleven. There's no room for Alexander Isak either as Florian Wirtz is back in, with Hugo Ekitike starting up top as Arne Slot makes two changes from the side that won in Milan.
