When is the Europa League last-16 draw?
The draw will take place on Friday, February 26, in Nyon at 12.00 pm UK time.
Who could the British teams face?
Some of Europe’s top clubs have reached the last 16 of the Europa League, including AC Milan, Roma and Ajax.
There is no country protection or seeding at this stage, meaning that the British clubs could be drawn against each other.
Having scrambled through the last round, Arsenal will be hoping for a favourable draw against the likes of Molde or Young Boys.
However, both teams recorded impressive victories in the round of 32, and it would be foolish to underestimate them.
Tottenham, United and Rangers will also be hoping to avoid the big guns as they strive to make their mark in Europe this season.
