Tottenham's Champions League Success Contrasts With Troubled Premier League Form Under Thomas Frank

Tottenham Hotspur have shown a sharp contrast in form this season, progressing comfortably to the Champions League last 16 while continuing to struggle in the Premier League.
This inconsistency has become a growing concern for head coach Thomas Frank, according to BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton.
Speaking after Spurs’ frustrating draw with Burnley last week, Sutton noted clear dissatisfaction among supporters, who are struggling to reconcile the club’s European success with its underwhelming domestic performances.
Tough Test Ahead Against Manchester City
Sutton expects another difficult challenge for Frank and his side when Tottenham face Manchester City on Sunday.
As part of his weekly analysis, Sutton predicts all 380 Premier League matches each season, with his selections competing against an AI, BBC Sport readers, and a rotating guest predictor.
These predictions form part of an ongoing interactive feature that tracks performance across the entire campaign.
Guest Predictor and How the Game Works
For Premier League Week 24, the guest predictor is professional boxer Francesca Hennessy, a lifelong Chelsea supporter.
Hennessy is also preparing for a major moment in her own career, as she competes in a WBC title eliminator on Saturday evening, live on BBC
Two from 20:00 GMT. Fans are encouraged to submit their own score predictions, which are used to compile public leaderboards. Players earn 10 points for correctly predicting a match outcome and 40 points for an exact scoreline.
