"So far, we have a perfect [home] record [in the Champions League]. Can we continue that? In the first bit, [the aim] is to qualify for the play-off rounds [by finishing between 9th and 24th]. If and when hopefully we qualify for that, then we can look further ahead after that. We know it can be very awkward and difficult against Slavia, but I have a good belief that we can come out and perform well again."
"Slavia are unbeaten in five matches in all competitions since their 3-0 defeat at home to Arsenal on November 4, including a 0-0 draw at home to Athletic Club on Champions League Matchday 5 on November 25. Eight years after joining the club, manager Jindrich Trpisovsky has somewhat played down talk that he could fill the vacant Czechia manager job for their World Cup qualifying play-off at home to the Republic of Ireland in March."
Tottenham can take a decisive step toward the Champions League last 16 with a home win over Slavia Prague. Tottenham hold a perfect home record in this season’s Champions League and target qualification for the play-off rounds by finishing between 9th and 24th. Tottenham ended a five-match winless run by beating Brentford 2-0 at home. Slavia are unbeaten in five matches since a 3-0 home defeat to Arsenal on 4 November, including a 0-0 draw with Athletic Club on Matchday 5. Slavia sit three points shy of the play-off places in the league phase. Jindrich Trpisovsky has downplayed interest in the Czech national job and affirmed commitment to Slavia. Destiny Udogie is out until January with a hamstring injury and Brennan Johnson’s availability is uncertain, with some rotation expected.
