Europa League

The Europa League last-16 draw takes place today, just hours after teams including Manchester United and Juventus booked their place in the next round.

La Liga’s Real Sociedad could also pose a stern test, having topped United’s group earlier in the Europa League campaign. Of the clubs standing in their way, Premier League leaders Arsenal look the most threatening. Monaco had won the first leg in Germany 3-2. Bayer Leverkusen are another team our writer Thom Harris fancies to do well in this season’s Europa League.

Now we need to concentrate on the league and cup.” It is a shame because we had an excellent first half. We were without Gavi and Pedro and in the second half that is where you saw the difference. A well-taken touch and right-footed (shinned) goal from the Brazilian got things rolling and all of a sudden he had the confidence and clarity to pressure De Jong at the right moments. The draw is seeded, with the eight group stage winners kept apart.

The other pot of eight teams, meanwhile, will contain the teams that made it through this month's knockout round playoffs. They are: Union Berlin (GER)

Held at UEFA HQ in Nyon, Switzerland, the event is due to get underway at 11am local time.

LAYTH YOUSIF reminisces reporting on Sporting Lisbon as Arsenal prepare to face them once again.

The Morning Star is unique, as a lone socialist voice in a sea of corporate media. The stories told to me afterwards confirmed the camaraderie and chaos. My friends and I drove to Liege with a toothbrush, a fistful of hard-earned cash and not much else. The fun and excitement of soaking up new places, while making new memories. I still kick myself for missing Arsenal’s odyssey in the Ukraine a few years back. Stuck in Stockholm. Lost in Lens. For the experience and adventure.
