Dele Alli's absence will be a factor though

Tottenham Hotspur are one of those sides who have had prior experience of playing in the Europa League, much like Borussia Dortmund. The two sides will fight it out for the second spot, with BVB deemed to be the early favourites.

But Spurs know how to thrive under the underdogs tag and if they do play at their best, it will be tough to stop them. They certainly do need to get rid of their Wembley woes and the Premier League will allow them the opportunity to do just that. On the other hand, Dortmund aren't as good as they were two or three seasons ago and there is less assurity of them progressing, as compared to the times gone by.

A ball hadn't even been kicked and it's time we stop putting Spurs down in the race for qualification.
