With a place in Europe’s premier competition on offer to the winner, Arsenal will look to go one step further than their final defeat in May, while United are eyeing a repeat of their 2017 success.
When is the Europa League draw?
The Europa League Round of 32 draw will take place on Monday, December 16.
It will be held at 12pm UK time – that is 1pm at the Uefa headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland and will go ahead straight after the Champions League Last 16 draw.
Eight teams will drop down from Europe’s top competition, to go with the 12 group winners and runner-ups.
Yet, teams from the same country will be kept apart, so no all-Premier League clashes.
How can I watch it?
This draw will likely be live streamed via Uefa’s dedicated Europa League Twitter account – but this is currently unconfirmed.
Details will be updated nearer the time.
What teams have qualified?
Teams to have qualified for the Europa League knockout stages are:
- Sevilla
- Celtic
- Basel
- Espanyol
- Manchester United
