2018–19 Tottenham Hotspur F.C. season

2018–19 Tottenham Hotspur F.C. season
The 2018–19 season was Tottenham Hotspur's 27th season in the Premier League and 41st successive season in the top division of the English football league system. Along with the league, the club competed in the FA Cup, EFL Cup and UEFA Champions League. They finished fourth in the Premier League, qualifying for next season's Champions League, and were eliminated by Crystal Palace in the fourth round of the FA Cup. Tottenham made it to the semi-finals of the EFL Cup where they faced Chelsea. After two legs the aggregate score was 2–2 and Spurs were eliminated 4–2 on penalties. However, after overcoming Ajax on away goals after two very dramatic legs in the semi-finals, Tottenham reached the Champions League final for the first time in the club's history. In an all-English affair, Tottenham lost 0–2 to Liverpool at the Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid.

Fixtures
On 14 June 2018, the Premier League fixtures for the forthcoming season were announced. Owing to delays in the completion of the club's new stadium, the first fourteen home games of the season were played at Wembley. Some fixtures were updated after Sky Sports announced their live TV coverage.
FA Cup
Tottenham entered the competition in the third round and were handed an away tie at either Tranmere Rovers or Southport. Tranmere Rovers won the replay 2–0, claiming the home draw to play Spurs. The fourth round draw was made live on BBC by Robbie Keane and Carl Ikeme on 7 January 2019.
EFL Cup
The third round draw was made on 30 August 2018 by David Seaman and Joleon Lescott.

The fourth round draw was made live on Quest by Rachel Yankey and Rachel Riley on 29 September. The draw for the quarter-final was made live on Sky Sports by Jamie Redknapp and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink on 31 October.
