Spurs can only win the Europa League this campaign to deliver on Ange Postecoglou's bold pre-season vow that he always wins silverware during his second season at a club.
The Lilywhites' 2-0 defeat to Fulham on Sunday left them languishing in lowly fourteenth with European football as their remaining hope.
Tottenham crashed out of the Carabao Cup to Liverpool in the semi-finals, before Aston Villa ended their FA Cup dreams days later.
To add insult to injury, their EFL Cup conquerors failed to win the trophy at Wembley as another Premier League side ended their own lengthy wait for glory.
Newcastle, inspired by ex-Tottenham star Kieran Trippier, delivered Eddie Howe's side their first major domestic trophy since 1955.

Ironically, the only ex-Spurs star the fanbase would want to win trophies above the rest hasn't in the form of Trippier's England teammate Harry Kane.
Kane was in the Spurs youth ranks when the club last lifted a trophy - the 2008 League Cup - but has never won a major honour himself.
He is already Tottenham and England's record goalscorer but the debate over his lack of medals blots his otherwise superb record.
After joining Bayern Munich, the striker missed out on a trophy in his debut season after the Bavarians endured their first trophyless season since the 2011-12 campaign.
