Yet another measure of whether north London is red or white has fallen in Tottenham's favour, as they prepare to overtake Arsenal in the UEFA rankings.
The imploding Gunners were bottom of the Premier League before edging Norwich 1-0 on Saturday, having failed to qualify for European competition last season in their worst league campaign this century.
Jose Mourinho left Spurs in a mess last term and they only managed seventh, which was still enough to qualify for the brand new Europa Conference League.
Though trips to Stade Rennes, Vitesse and Slovenian top-flight side NS Mura will merely be a nuisance for Nuno Espirito Santo, the competition for European minnows does earn Spurs some bragging rights over their neighbours.
