Tottenham's European destiny could all depend on how things pan out for Ryan Mason's side over the next seven days. Too far away from a Champions League place unless there is a major twist in the tale in what remains of the season, Spurs will be hoping to tie up a top-sixth finish and secure a Europa League spot that comes with it.
If not, the Lilywhites may well find themselves back in the Europa Conference League for the second time in three seasons or there is the possibility that they miss out on European football altogether. The uncertainty over European football has prompted quite the debate amongst fans over whether a year out of Europe would be beneficial, with Spurs defender Ben Davies making his stance perfectly clear when asked the question following the 1-0 win over Crystal Palace.
"Our aspiration is to play in European football and be involved in as many competitions as we can," admitted Davies. "We have the squad, we have the number of players, so it’s probably necessary that we are. Our aim is to go as far as we can in every competition. Any European competition is important for us."
