Tottenham begin their Europa League campaign with a fixture against Azerbaijani champions Qarabag.
Ange Postecoglou’s side have had a mixed start to the Premier League season, but will hope for a deep European run as they look to end their long trophy drought.
The revamped Europa League will see each of the competition’s 36 entrants play eight fixture each as they look to secure a top-eight finish and progress directly into the Round of 16.
Those that finish between ninth and 24th will be forced to negotiate an extra play-off round, adding yet more fixtures to an already overloaded schedule.
