Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank will likely make a few changes on Tuesday night, to the starting lineup that he selects to face FC Copenhagen.
He would have to do so, no matter what happened versus Chelsea yesterday, simply for the cause of squad rotation, i.e. keeping guys’ legs fresh.

Not saying that this lineup below is the answer, but hey, it’s worth a shot to try and see. Given how punch-less his attack was on the weekend though, he’ll make some changes here for that reason as well. Spurs need to shake things up in the final third, and try to get more scoring threats going.
