TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR continue their Champions League campaign with a tough trip to Portugal on Tuesday where Sporting Lisbon awaits.
Spurs will be full of confidence having comfortably dispatched Marseille in their opening Group D game.
And the North London outfit should be the fresher of the two having seen their mouth-watering clash with Manchester City postponed due to the Queen’s tragic death.
However, Sporting could prove to be tricky customers as they pummelled Europa League champions Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0 on matchday one.
Also, Spurs are yet to record a victory over the Portuguese giants in the two times they have encountered each other.
