The teams Tottenham could face in Europa League qualifying after Arsenal's FA Cup win

Tottenham will be forced to navigate through the Europa League's qualifying rounds after North London rivals Arsenal lifted the FA Cup.

That victory sees the Gunners pip Spurs to a spot in the Europa League's group stages, with Jose Mourinho's side now entering the competition in the second qualifying round.

As a result, Spurs have three extra European matches to navigate through before securing their spot in the competition proper, adding a headache ahead of the new season.

The Europa League has become renowned for featuring a large number of unrecognisable teams who ply their trade in some of the continent's less prestigious leagues.
