Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is confident of a big performance tonight against Champions League opponents Sporting CP.

A positive result will see Spurs reach the final 16.

Speaking to SPURSPLAY, Conte said: “We have an important chance, and, for this reason, I want to see desire, will, great commitment, a great effort from my players to overcome this difficult game. I'm sure we will have a good performance.

“For us, I like to consider every game an important game, a big game, because in every game, you have to start with the mentality of getting three points. This is an especially important game because if we win, we avoid going to Marseille to play the final game for qualification. This will be very important for us.

“We've prepared the game against Sporting Lisbon, and we need to play together with the fans. They have to understand the moment, the important moment for us, for the players, and the players need to feel their passion."
