The 12 teams fighting it out to join Spurs and Chelsea in the Champions League group stage draw

Tottenham and Chelsea will discover who they will face in the 2019/20 Champions League group stage on Thursday.

The second legs of the final play-off round will be played over the next two days before the draw takes place in Monaco at 5pm on August 29.

There are just six places left up for grabs but it appears that Olympiacos will be in the draw after winning 4-0 in their first leg tie against Russian side Krasnodar.

Ajax, who lost in the Champions League semi-finals to Spurs last season, will be hoping to join them but they still have it all to do after drawing 0-0 in their first game against APOEL.

The pots for the draw still need to be finalised but Chelsea will be in pot one and Tottenham in the pot two.

Although the Blues failed to qualify for last year's competition after missing out on the top four, they join the likes of Barcelona, Man City and Liverpool in the top pot due to their Europa League triumph.

Spurs would have joined them in pot one had they beaten Liverpool in the Champions League final at the start of June, yet they will have to make do with a place in pot two.

That does mean they will come up against one of Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain or Zenit St Petersburg in the group stage, although they will be confident of progressing following their performances in the competition over the past couple of years.
