Here’s everything you need to know ahead of today’s (Friday 31 January) UEFA Europa League knockout stage play-off round draw.
Last night, we sealed our progress into the round of 16 with a top-eight finish thanks to a 3-0 win over Elfsborg at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – and that means we will not be directly involved in the draw today.
However, the teams we could face in the last 16 will learn their opponents ahead of February’s play-off games and we will naturally be keeping a keen eye on their matches as we wait to discover our opponents for the next stage of the competition.
By finishing fourth in the league phase of the Europa League, we will face one of four teams.
As discovered last night, our potential opponents include Real Sociedad, Galatasaray, AZ Alkmaar and Midtjylland and those four teams will be pitted against each in the knockout play-off round.
