Arne Slot’s team is drawn against one of Atletico Madrid, Galatasaray or Juventus in the last 16 of the Champions League.
It comes after Atletico defeated Club Brugge 4-1 in the second leg of their play-off match on Tuesday evening to secure a 7-4 win.
It means Atletico will be on one side of the draw and the winner of Wednesday’s match between Galatasaray and Juventus on the other – with the Turkish club leading 5-2 from the first leg.
The draw will take place Friday February 27 at 11am (GMT) and Tottenham await the team that has not drawn against Liverpool in the last 16.
Diego Simeone’s side recorded a big win at the Metropolitano Stadium thanks to striker Alexander Sorloth’s hat-trick and Johnny Cardoso’s hat-trick.
Sorloth’s opener came via a mistake from former Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, who had an early shot squeezed under him in an otherwise routine save.
Central defender Joel Ordonez – provisionally linked with a move to Anfield – reduced the deficit after scoring an own goal in the first leg, but it proved only a consolation for Club Brugge as they exited the Champions League.
