Here are the pre-draw odds. Inter look good this season and are only here courtesy of being handed a brutal Champions League group, so I'm a little surprised not to see Antonio Conte's side higher in this list. A lot can change over the next few weeks of course, and it may be that Arsenal have a new manager and a whole different look to them. Mikel Arteta heads the odds for that particular gig. 

Manchester United 5/1

Arsenal 6/1

Sevilla 7/1

Inter Milan 9/1

Ajax 10/1

Uefa's first draw guest is Germany international and former Arsenal defender Josephine Henning. And the second is a man who has won the Europa League/Uefa Cup twice, Freddie Kanoute.

Here we go then. Draw time. First the draw procedure is being explained. It's the same rules as the Champions League: you cannot meet a team from the same nation or from the same qualifying group.
