Tottenham Hotspur welcome Borussia Dortmund to north London with manager Thomas Frank under considerable pressure. Frank addressed media on Monday and insisted he still has the backing of the powers-that-be amid speculation about his position at the club. "If your back is against the wall, you fight. I am energetic and I fight," Frank said.

Thomas Frank feels his Tottenham Hotspur side are getting better and that he deserves patience following their two goal win over 10-man Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.

Beating Dortmund left Frank’s team fourth in the Champions League table, with a strong shot at booking a direct spot in the round of 16.
