Tottenham kick-start their Europa League fixtures with a clash against Lokomotiv Plovdiv
Tottenham make the trek to Bulgaria during midweek for a Europa League second round qualifying tie against Lokomotiv Plovdiv.
Spurs reached the Champions League round of 16 last season before being knocked out by German upstarts RB Leipzig.
However, they failed to reach the top four in the 2019/20 Premier League campaign and must resort to plying their trade in the second tier of European football this season.
Jose Mourinho will still see European football of any form as a major chance to lift silverware with Tottenham, and will be determined for his men to cruise through the preliminary rounds without breaking a sweat.
Lokomotiv Plovdiv made it to the third qualifying round last year before being dumped out of the tournament by Strasbourg. That was the furthest they have ever advanced in European competitions barring one Champions League tie against Club Brugge in 2003 – during which they lost both legs.

Well, we all know what should happen... but have you ever heard of a scenario more 'Tottenham Hotspur' than losing to Lokomotiv Plovdiv on a Thursday and re-signing Gareth Bale on a Friday?
Spurs will hope for an early goal to ease the nerves of fans expecting a classic upset, while Mourinho will hope for a convincing display to draw the critics away from his side, even for a short while.
Players will still be returning to full fitness, but that can't be used as an excuse in this one. They simply need to win. They will.
