Spurs vs Dortmund: Preview
Frank could be heading for his final assignment as Tottenham boss against Dortmund.
Suggestion in the media is that the Dane is being considered for the sack, with the club's hierarchy actively looking at other replacements.
Only hired in June, Spurs have won just once in their past eight matches and are out of both domestic cup competitions.
Beaten by the Hammers over the weekend, attention now quickly turns to a huge match with Niko Kovac's men.
Dortmund arrive in the capital in brilliant form, having lost just one of their last 12 games in all competitions.
Despite trailing Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich by 11 points, BVB are looking good for progression to the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League.
With two games to go, they will have hopes of a top-eight finish, and trail eighth-placed Atletico Madrid by just a point.
Top scorer Serhou Guirassy is one to watch, with the 29-year-old having netted 10 goals in 26 games in all competitions so far this term.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Spurs 1-2 Dortmund
We think this one will spell the end for Frank, with Dortmund winning narrowly against a beleaguered Spurs side.
