Follow live coverage of the 2021/22 Europa League group-stage draw this morning.
Last year’s winners Villarreal beat Manchester United in the final, with both clubs now in the Champions League this season. Celtic edged into the draw last night with a win over AZ Alkmaar 3-2 on aggregate in the play-offs - despite losing 2-1 on the night in the Netherlands. While Covid-hit Rangers ground out a goalless draw against 10-man Alashkert to join their Old Firm rivals in the hat.
After the intrigue of the Champions League draw yesterday, with Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool and Manchester United learning their opponents, the British quartet will be keen to map out their route to Seville in 2022.
The Foxes under Brendan Rodgers are the competition’s favourites, before the third-placed teams in the Champions League group stage drop down.
While West Ham are fourth favourites with the bookies, behind Napoli and Lazio. Other big names in today's draw include Lyon, Real Sociedad, Bayer Leverkusen, Eintracht Frankfurt, Real Betis and Marseille.
Leicester are in pot 2 with Rangers and Celtic, while West Ham are in pot 3, that means all of those sides can draw the likes of Napli, Lazio, Lyon and Bayer Leverkusen, who are in pot 1.
