Despite their domestic struggles Arsenal have found the going a lot easier in Europe and will now face a trip to Olympiacos in the first knockout round. Manchester United also secured top spot after an up and down campaign with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side now facing off against Club Brugge. Wolves were also in the hat, as one of the unseeded teams, and now take on Espanyol of La Liga.
Scotland were also well represented with Celtic meeting Copenhagen and Rangers facing Braga. We'll have all the latest reaction for you right here:
Wolves vs Espanyol
Sporting vs Istanbul Basaksehir
Getafe vs Ajax
Bayer Leverkusen vs Porto
FC Copenhagen vs Celtic
APOEL vs Basel
CFR Cluj vs Sevilla
Olympiacos vs Arsenal
AZ Alkmaar vs LASK
Club Brugge vs Man United
Ludogorets vs Inter Milan
Frankfurt vs Salzburg
Shakhtar Donetsk vs Benfica
Wolfsburg vs Malmo
Roma vs Gent
Rangers vs Braga
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.
A reminder of which clubs are in which pot:
SEEDS: Ajax, Arsenal, Basel, Benfica, Braga, Celtic, Espanyol, Gent, Internazionale Milano, İstanbul Başakşehir, LASK, Malmö, Manchester United, Porto, Salzburg, Sevilla.
THE REST: APOEL, AZ Alkmaar, Bayer Leverkusen, CFR Cluj, Club Brugge, Copenhagen, Eintracht Frankfurt, Getafe, Ludogorets, Olympiacos, Rangers, Roma, Shakhtar Donetsk, Sporting CP, Wolfsburg, Wolves.
