It's a must-win game for the North Londoners, because who they appoint as the next permanent manager may very well depend on what league they are in next season. 

With several names constantly linked with the post, another former Spurs star has championed his backing for Robbie Keane to return to the club. 

Speaking exclusively to DAZN News, thanks to Covers.com, a site providing sportsbook promos, Stephen Carr has no doubts about what his former teammate could bring back to the club. 

"Robbie Keane knows Tottenham very well," Carr said. 

"He loves Tottenham, and he's done unbelievably so far. He's a young manager, and he's gone to Israel and done really well.

"Because it's difficult, going to different countries, but he's earning a reputation now, he's in Hungary doing well.

"I know what he demands from his players, and I think he's earned the right to have opportunities in England. I'm surprised he hasn't been mentioned at more clubs.

"Would he jump at it? Big time, I think Keane would jump at it.  It'd be a dream job for him. I think the fans would be behind him because he's such a big player there."

It's been a disaster of a season for Spurs, who only last May were celebrating their first trophy since 2008 as they claimed the Europa League. 

However, the triumph masked a league campaign that saw them finish in 17th place and the end for Ange Postecoglou as boss, despite winning silverware. 

Thomas Frank was appointed as his replacement, but failed to get the club going in the same way he had at Brentford. With fans frustrated with his playing style and a home record that has marred their campaign. 

Yet, Carr believes the problems lie with the hierarchy above, and the way they've gone about building the squad at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Adding, "Has the recruitment been good enough? It's shown probably not at the end of the day, but Tottenham had the same situation last year. Where they were in the league, so it's not as if it's just a one-off. 

"So something is going wrong with recruitment because it's a very, very well-run club, but it's more of a business. 

"Tottenham have spent money. It's where they spent it. Have they spent it well?  Well, it's shown they haven't because of the situation they find themselves in, and that has to come down to something. 

"And it's not just one manager."
