There's no denying the significance of Sunday's relegation six-pointer with Nottingham Forest. It may well be our most significant domestic fixture in a generation.
But at least Igor Tudor's Tottenham enter the contest in high spirits. There's a sense of momentum building in north London after we enjoyed our first taste of victory since January, albeit in an aggregate defeat to Atlético Madrid, thus ending our Champions League campaign.
Forest, on the contrary, will continue their continental journey after the international break, but they required extra time and penalties on Thursday evening to bypass Midtjylland and reach the Europa League quarter-finals. A taxing overseas trip less than 72 hours before kick off on Sunday may be a hindrance, but we can't get caught up on potential Forest fatigue.
Instead, Tudor must focus on what he and his team can control. The 47-year-old has proven himself to be adaptable after a wretched start to his reign, returning to a back three after a 4-4-2 set-up worked well at Anfield. The direct approach is likely to be ditched for Sunday's home game, with Tudor surely hoping to facilitate the liquid brand of football that supporters were treated to midweek.
With our availability crisis slowly easing, Tudor has a couple of big decisions to make on the team selection front. Here are two players who must be recalled to his starting lineup against Forest.
1. Destiny Udogie
A distinct lack of left-footed players in this Tottenham squad has undoubtedly contributed to performances, especially in possession, that have been bereft of balance.
With Destiny Udogie continuing to struggle physically, the right-footed Djed Spence has often been forced to play on the opposite flank. He enjoyed his role under Ange Postecoglou, given the freedom he had to drift inside, but Thomas Frank seldom offered Spence such luxuries. The touchline role didn't suit him, and the left-hand side was dormant for much of his reign as a result.
Spence should look more like the iteration that manifested under Ange than Frank with Tudor at the helm, but that doesn't mean Udogie shouldn't come straight back into the fold when deemed ready.
Minutes off the bench midweek suggest he's close, having nursed a hamstring injury for more than a month. The Italian is critical to this team when he's fit and firing, with his ability to provide a reliable source of width smoothing out Spurs' dynamics with the ball.
Even if it's just for an hour, Udogie's presence should aid the hosts against a potentially stubborn Forest unit.
2. Kevin Danso
The Austrian was a surprise omission for the second leg, given how well he performed at Liverpool last Sunday.
Radu Drăgușin was named in the starting lineup, but the Romanian proved again that he's not of the required level. He cannot start on Sunday.
Emerging fan favourite Danso is a sturdy performer who boasts few specialties but also few distinct flaws. He's an imposing defender with good recovery instincts, and he has enough talent with the ball to wrap passes into those ahead of him, unlike Drăgușin.
Assuming Tudor sticks with the back three at home, it has to be a configuration comprising Danso, Cristian Romero, and Micky van de Ven that starts against Forest.
