Your complete guide to the Europa League draw, including time and how to watch.
The Europa League soon enters the knockout stages, with the groups drawing to a close in wildly unpredictable fashion.
Just three groups have been won ahead of the final round of matches, with those teams set to bypass the upcoming draw.
The second-tier competition boasts an extra round compared to the Champions League.
All eight Europa League group runners-up will face the eight third-place teams dropping down from the Champions League group stages in play-off matches before proceeding to the round of 16, where EL group champions will be waiting.

Rangers are not guaranteed a place in the knockout rounds, but will keep their European dream alive if they equal or better Sparta Prague’s result on Thursday night.
