Premier League rivals Arsenal and Chelsea will hope to remain rolling on the road to Baku when the draw is made for the quarter-finals of the 2018-19 Europa League.

The Gunners take on French mid-table outfit Rennes for the first time in the last 16 after dismissing BATE Borisov, while Maurizio Sarri's Blues - who brushed aside Malmo in the round of 32 -renew hostilities with Dynamo Kiev just over three years after facing them in the group stages of the Champions League.

Other big hitters still going strong in this year's competition include Napoli, Inter Milan and five-time winners Sevilla, who meet Salzburg, Eintracht Frankfurt and Slavia Prague respectively.

Elsewhere, Primeira Liga leaders Benfica face Dinamo Zagreb, Zenit take on Villarreal and Valencia battle Krasnodar of Russia.

Here is everything you need to know about the quarter-final draw...

When is the draw?

The draw takes place on Friday, March 15 and features no seedings or country protection. It is scheduled to start at midday GMT.

In addition to the quarter-finals, the draw will also be made for the semis straight afterwards.

Uefa also say they will be drawing to determine the 'home team' for the final at the Baku Olympic Stadium in Azerbaijan on May 29 for 'administrative reasons'.

The draw will take place at Uefa’s headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
