Here, Press Association Sport looks at each of the five teams who could stand in Spurs' way of reaching the lucrative group stage:

AUXERRE: Auxerre will be making their third Champions League appearance after finishing third in Ligue 1. They last qualified eight years ago, failing to progress beyond the group stage, and also reached the quarter-finals in 1997 before losing to eventual champions Borussia Dortmund. Notable players include Slovenia midfielder Valter Birsa, a scorer at this summer's World Cup, while they recently signed former Liverpool forward Anthony Le Tallec.

BRAGA: Like Spurs, Braga are making their Champions League debut. They disrupted the hegemony of Benfica, Sporting Lisbon and Porto last season by finishing second in Portugal. Despite losing a number of their better players this summer, they swept past Celtic 4-2 on aggregate to reach the play-off round, with Brazilian midfielder Alan particularly impressive in the first leg.

DYNAMO KIEV: The club with by far the most European experience of Spurs' five possible opponents, Dynamo perennially reach the Champions League group phase and have done so for the past four seasons. The Ukrainian runners-up are not the force they were on the European stage a decade ago but with Andriy Shevchenko back in their ranks, they are not to be underestimated.

SAMPDORIA: Sampdoria qualified for Europe's premier club competition for the first time since 1992, when they went all the way to the final. That was the Genoa outfit's only European Cup campaign and they endured a rollercoaster time in the subsequent 18 years before Luigi Del Neri steered them to fourth in Serie A last season. The mercurial Antonio Cassano is arguably their star player.

YOUNG BOYS: On paper, the Swiss runners-up would be Spurs' dream draw. But Young Boys stunned Fenerbahce in the third qualifying round, winning the second leg 1-0 in Istanbul after snatching a 2-2 draw at home. They have an Englishman in their ranks in the shape of Scott Sutter, who grew up a Tottenham fan in Hertfordshire before becoming an Under-21 international for his father's native Switzerland.
