The mood around Tottenham is as good as it has been at any point during Jose Mourinho’s reign.

That 6-1 stroll at Old Trafford sent Spurs fans into the international break on a high.

But how will Mourinho’s men get on in the coming weeks, with the Europa League group stage getting underway?

It might be a bit of a fool’s errand trying to make predictions given how crazy the season has been so far, but we’ve given it a go for Tottenham’s next five games…

West Ham (H) – Win

Like Spurs, the Hammers are flying at the moment and their style lends itself perfectly to playing on the road.

That said, on a day where Gareth Bale is expected to make his second Spurs debut, this one looks like a home win.

It won’t be easy – West Ham love upsetting Spurs – but Mourinho will be keen to keep that momentum going from the United win.

LASK (H) – Win

After an impressive transfer window, Tottenham have a squad capable of competing on multiple fronts.

Mourinho proved himself capable of juggling his options expertly during that early season period, navigating the Europa League qualifiers and the EFL Cup opening rounds.

Manchester United beat LASK 7-1 on aggregate last term, which indicates Spurs shouldn’t have too many problems here, even if they make changes.

Burnley (A) – Draw

Tottenham have drawn and lost on their last two visits to Turf Moor, which is always a tricky assignment.

Sean Dyche’s side aren’t at full speed yet and this is one that Spurs can win – but we’ve got it down as a draw.

It would be a statement of a tougher, more consistent Spurs if they got all three points here, but Dyche will have his side typically fired up to get a result.

Royal Antwerp (A) – Win

This another Europa League tie which shouldn’t give Mourinho too many headaches.

Two wins from two would put one Tottenham foot into the knockout rounds already.

As long as injuries don’t creep in, Mourinho may well be quite happy to have these European assignments in which to use his backup options, keeping his whole squad content with their minutes.

Brighton (H) – Win

Brighton have caused problems for Chelsea and Manchester United on their own patch this season, and took the lead at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Boxing Day.

Unfortunately for Graeme Potter, his side have lost all three of those aforementioned encounters.

Brighton struggle at set pieces and their ambitious style will give Mourinho chances to plot a route through on the counter attack.

This should be a home win.
