Europa League Round of 32 draw live updates: Who will Arsenal, Man Utd, Tottenham, Leicester, Rangers face in knockout stages?




14 December 2020 •

• Europa League draw takes place at 12pm
• Manchester United, Tottenham, Leicester, Arsenal and Rangers all seeded

Europa League fun
The Champions League draw will take place first, finishing right before Uefa goes to its second favourite child and lets us know who a heap of Premier League clubs - and Rangers - will play next year.
Man Utd have dropped out of the Champions League to make things more tricky for those legitimate qualifiers like Spurs and Arsenal, and have ended up being seeded. Here's a list of all the teams who could be drawn first:

Seeded teams
Ajax, Arsenal, AC Milan, Tottenham, Leicester City, Manchester United, Napoli, PSV Eindhoven, Rangers, Bayer Leverkusen, Villarreal, Shakhtar Donetsk, AS Roma, Hoffenheim, Dinamo Zagreb, Club Brugge.
These teams could all play against one of these:

Unseeded teams
Red Star Krasnodar, Dynamo Kyiv, Olympiacos, RB Salzburg, Young Boys, Molde, Slavia Prague, Benfica, Granada, Real Sociedad, Braga, Lille, Maccabi Tel-Aviv, Antwerp, RZ Pellets WAC
Some big names in the draw. The one major positive for Premier League clubs is that Sevilla aren't in the competition so someone else is finally allowed to win it.

Ajax, Spurs, AC Milan, Man Utd and Napoli will be the favourites to actually win the competition and you can find out who they'll play by staying right here on this liveblog. BT Sport 2 are showing the draw live, and we have updates throughout.

First out......Wolfsburg vs Spurs

 

[Gary Onedaysoon]

There were easier draws than Wolfsburg. 4th in the Bundesliga this season, unbeaten after 11 games.

Yeah, three points behind Bayern and currently ahead of Dortmund, certainly no pushover.
This tournament now starts for real.

Ouch.
Zi Germans.

It’s wolfsberger in Austria not the Germans so not a bad tie

Another trip to Austria then. Not an easy tie as LASK have shown us, but looking at the list of teams it could have been a lot worse

Sky article:

"
Manchester United will play La Liga leaders Real Sociedad in the last 32 of the Europa League, while Arsenal face Benfica.

Jose Mourinho's Tottenham will play Wolfsberg, who currently sit seventh in the Austrian league. Leicester City, in the last 32 for the first time, play Slavia Prague, while Rangers face Antwerp of Belgium."

They should sort these names out . We could end up in the wrong country ?! Knocking on the door and nobody home .

 

[Spursex]

We surely have to get past them?

 

[RichmondSpur]

We surely have to get past them?

Would our ball retention have improved before we play them!

 

[Critical_Spur]

We surely have to get past them?

Don't let the lads hear you Ex. We need to get past Marine before I get confident!

Of course! Sky had it as Wolfsberger and I thought it was a spelling variation on Wolfsburg. That puts a different complexion on it.

Now we've got the countries sorted out the chances of participating in the predictor thread for at least two more rounds have improved considerably.

Are these games knockout or home and away legs?

 

[meee93]

Are these games knockout or home and away legs?

2 legged, with our home match being played on the Wednesday to avoid playing at home at the same time as Arsenal. Not sure how they decide which of us changes their fixture though.

"The two legs will take place on 18 and 25 February. Tottenham's home game will be on 24 February."
