Monaco will be looking to convert resilience into results when Tottenham Hotspur pay a visit. Les Monégasques have drawn their last three competitive matches [DDD], a sequence that began with a spirited 2-2 comeback against Manchester City on UCL matchday two, before being held 1-1 by Angers in Ligue 1 at the weekend. That latest draw marked the first outing under new manager Sébastien Pocognoli, who will be keen to record a statement win in front of the home fans. Despite their uninspiring form [WLDDD], the hosts remain unbeaten at home this season [3W, 2D, 0L] in all competitions and have shown notable fighting spirit — their comeback against City was the first time Les Rouge et Blanc twice recovered from losing positions in a single UCL fixture since a 2-2 draw with Rangers in November 2000. However, long-term European trends are less encouraging. Since their famous 2016–17 run — when they beat Tottenham en route to the semi-finals — Les Monégasques have won just three of their last 13 UCL home matches [3W, 1D, 9L]. Injuries continue to pose a challenge for Pocognoli, who will be without Paul Pogba, Denis Zakaria, Lamine Camara, former Spurs defender Eric Dier and a few others. Mika Biereth is expected to lead the attacking line in a 3—4—2—1 formation.
