Friday will see the young Spurs face Stade Rennais at 10am and then SM Caen at 5:15pm, before concluding the group with a match against Guingamp at 11:15am on Saturday.

West Brom and Anderlecht aswell as French sides Marseille and Lorient are the potential opponents that await from Group B on Sunday.

Ehiogu will want to do better than last year, when his side finished bottom of the group before losing 1-0 to Auxerre in the 7th/8th place play-off match.
