Monaco are unbeaten in their last 11 home fixtures
Tottenham have not kept a clean sheet in any of their last four matches
Recommended bet: Monaco draw no bet
Tottenham missed a big opportunity when losing 2-1 at home to Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday and they will be aiming for a positive response when taking on Monaco on Wednesday in the Champions League.
Thomas Frank’s side went into the Villa game knowing a victory would take them to within two points of leaders Arsenal, but they struggled to build on Rodrigo Bentancur’s early goal and were undone by sweet strikes from Morgan Rogers and Emi Buendia.
However, Spurs are off to a solid start in Europe thanks to a 1-0 home win over Villarreal and a hard-fought 2-2 draw away to Bodo/Glimt.
Monaco have taken just one point from two Champions League games and are getting used to a new man in the dugout after Sebastien Pocognoli replaced Adi Hutter during the October international break.
Pocognoli took charge for the first time at the weekend as Monaco drew 1-1 away to struggling Angers and Les Monegasques are seventh in Ligue 1, only four points adrift of leaders Marseille.
Team news
Eric Dier faces a few weeks out with a hamstring injury and will therefore miss the chance to feature for Monaco against his former employers.
Lukas Hradecky (knee), Christian Mawissa, Vanderson (both hamstring), Denis Zakaria (adductor) and Lamine Camara (ankle) are also sidelined and Paul Pogba is short of match fitness.
For Spurs, Randal Kolo Muani returned to action at the weekend but Destiny Udogie missed out with a knee injury and Cristian Romero (adductor) was injured in the warm up.
The defensive duo have joined Dominic Solanke (ankle), Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison (both knee) and Yves Bissouma (unspecified injury) on the injured list.
Radu Dragusin and Mathys Tel are not part of Spurs' Champions League squad.

The stats
Both teams have scored in each of Monaco’s last eight matches.
Monaco have conceded the opening goal in five of their last six games.
Five of Tottenham's last six games have featured at least three goals.
Two of Tottenham’s last three away games have finished 2-2.
Spurs have gone four games without a win on their Champions League travels.
Prediction
Tottenham felt a little hard done by after their weekend loss to Aston Villa, but they have been riding their luck in the Champions League and are worth opposing against Monaco, who look overpriced to secure their first win of the competition.
Thomas Frank’s side overcame Villarreal despite registering just one shot on target, and they were delighted to draw with Bodo/Glimt after losing the shot count 18 to eight.
Frank took the strategic decision to rest Cristian Romero for the trip to Bodo and his team were lucky to avoid defeat.
This time the Londoners have been forced to travel without their injured captain and their defensive weakness could be exposed by Monaco, who showed their quality last month by twice coming from behind to draw 2-2 at home to Manchester City.
