Tottenham are now days away from discovering their Champions League group stage fate. Missing out on Europe's premier competition in the past two seasons, all connected with the club are counting down the days until Thursday's draw.
The draw for the group stage takes place at 5pm in Istanbul, Turkey, the host of this season's Champions League final. Drawing the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Inter Milan in recent years, Tottenham will come up against one of Europe's big guns once again due to their place in Pot 2.
The teams in Pots 1 and 2 are set in stone, with one team still needing to be added to Pot 3 and six to be confirmed in Pot 4. All will become clear on Wednesday evening once the second leg of the Champions League play-off round is over, which features teams such as Benfica and Rangers.

So which teams are still fighting it out for a place in the group phase and who could be Tottenham's final group opponent from Pot 4? football.london takes a look.
How things stand going into the second leg of the Champions League play-off round
Qarabag 0-0 Viktoria Plzen
Bodo/Glimt 1-0 Dinamo Zagreb
Maccabi Haifa 3-2 Red Star Belgrade
Copenhagen 2-1 Trabzonspor
Dynamo Kyiv 0-2 Benfica
Rangers 2-2 PSV Eindhoven
It's very much all to play for going into the second leg of the Champions League play-off rounds games in midweek. Apart from Benfica holding a 2-0 lead over Dynamo Kyiv going into their home fixture, the other five ties are all nicely poised as the sides involved look to secure a passage into the Champions League group stage.

With Pots 1 and 2 already confirmed, the results of the final six play-off games will determine which side goes into Pot 3 and who will be in Pot 4. As things stand, it will be Benfica in Pot 3 due to the higher UEFA coefficient.
If Dynamo Kyiv do come from behind away from home and knock the Portuguese side out at their Estadio da Luz home, Rangers will be next in line for Pot 3 providing they progress past PSV. If both Benfica and Rangers bow out, Dinamo Zagreb, Red Star Belgrade and Marseille, who have already qualified, are waiting behind them.
If Benfica, as expected, do beat Dynamo Kyiv over the two legs, the other five teams who advance from the play-off round will go into Pot 4.
Here are the pots for this season's Champions League group stage with the confirmed teams:
Pot 1: Real Madrid, Eintracht Frankfurt, Man City, AC Milan, Bayern Munich, PSG, Porto, Ajax
Pot 2: Liverpool, Chelsea, Barcelona, Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, RB Leipzig, Tottenham
Pot 3: Borussia Dortmund, Red Bull Salzburg, Shakhtar Donetsk, Inter Milan, Napoli, Sporting CP, Bayer Leverkusen
Pot 3 or 4: Marseille
Pot 4: Club Brugge, Celtic
