Spurs were knocked out of an easy-looking group with Monaco, Bayer Leverkusen and CSKA Moscow last season.

Here is all you need to know about their potential group.

WHO TOTTENHAM CAN'T FACE

Tottenham cannot face any English teams in the group stage.

 

And they will avoid Napoli, Roma, Basel, Anderlecht, Olympiakos and Besiktas as they are in the same pot as those sides.

WHO CAN TOTTENHAM FACE?

The prospect of a nightmare group looms large for Spurs.

In Pot 1 they will be desperate to avoid Juventus, Bayern Munich and champions Real Madrid.

A pairing of Real Madrid with Neymar's PSG would be a worst case scenario, as well as any draw that lines up Barcelona with Bayern Munich or Juventus.

German upstarts RB Leipzig could provide a tough test from Pot 4.

 

What is Tottenham's best and worst possible draw?

Best possible draw: Spartak Moscow, Porto, Tottenham, Qarabag

Worst possible draw: Real Madrid, PSG, Tottenham, RB Leipzig
