When is the Europa League draw 2019-20? Arsenal, Man Utd, Celtic and Rangers pots, teams, seedings and dates

Arsenal and Manchester United will soon learn their Europa League fate with the group stage draw for the competition made this week.

The Gunners are set for a third consecutive appearance in the competition after a dismal domestic run-in saw rivals Tottenham claim fourth spot in the Premier League before Chelsea put four past Unai Emery's team in the Europa League final.

Manchester United's sixth-place finish in the top flight means they join Arsenal and look to win the competition for the second time in four seasons.

Wolves successfully navigated the play-off round to join them, having qualified for Europe for the first time in 39 years, while the big rivals for the trophy will be Lazio, Roma and Sevilla.

Standard Sport will be bringing you live coverage of the group stages.


When and where is the draw?

The group stage draw will take place in Nyon on Friday 30 August at midday BST.


How can I watch the draw?

The draw will be streamed live through Uefa’s official website and will also be available to watch live on BT Sport.

You can also follow the ceremony with us on Standard Sport’s live blog.
