Tottenham vs Sporting CP live: Spurs will try to put an end to their recent struggles and book their place in the UEFA Champions League knockout rounds.

Scoring chances are few and far between these days (for both sides) when Spurs are involved — a far cry from the final days of last season, when they attacked with freedom and confidence. QUESTIONABLE: Cristian Romero (calf), Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (thigh) And still, Tottenham (7 points) sit atop Group D with two games left to play. The overly safe, negative tactics don’t suit a side short on youth and athleticism as they struggle to create chances on the counter, and the midfield is missing the accomplished ball progressor to build out of the (deep) back when they regain possession. They were getting good results, after all — until they weren’t, and still aren’t (4W-2D-4L in their last nine games – all competitions). Sporting CP and Eintracht Frankfurt are 2nd and 3rd, respectively (7 points each).
