Europa League Round of 32
Puskas Arena, Budapest
Another poor performance and a loss in the league out of the way, with the mandatory ref controversy.
Now we're back to the Europa League, which we haven't played in since early December.
We face a team with a German name, who are from Austria and we're playing in Hungary.
It's very Europa League and it's very Tottenham.
Can Mourinho get some sort of performance out of the team or will we face more embarrassment?
Wolfsberger are a fairly old club, but have only recently qualified for European competition.
They've spent most of their history in the 2nd and 3rd tier, until a semi-merger with their neighbours.
A name-changing sponsorship pushed them on in 2014, since which they've been known as "RZ Pellets WAC".
This is the first time that they've progressed past a group stage and we're the first English team they've faced.
They have played Dortmund, Roma, Monchengladbach, CSKA Moscow and Feyenoord, though.
The Austrian Bundesliga has a slightly weird play-off thingy, but they finished 3rd in that last year.
This put them into a tough group stage, where they faced CSKA, Dinamo Zagreb and Feyenoord.
Home and away victories against the Dutch and an away win in Moscow was their unlikely route through it.
They currently sit 6th in their league, which is enough to put them into another play-off, if they stay there.
Their top scorer is Dejan Joveljic, a Serbian striker on loan from Eintracht Frankfurt.
We're going to be playing at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, due to Covid restrictions in Austria.
It's obviously named after the Magyar legend Ferenc Puskas and looks a bit like Wembley.
Liverpool played RB Leipzig there on Tuesday and the surface looked pretty decent.
How it'll hold up to being played on twice in quick succession remains to be seen.
Decent highlights of their matches are quite hard to come by, so I'll just skip them and post interviews:

How would you like to line up for this one and what would you change from the City game?
Would you stick with much of the same lineup, make a few changes or go for a wholesale switch?
Which system and tactics would you use and what are you expecting Wolfsberger to go with?
