The Europa League draw takes place on Friday, 24 hours after the Champions League draw was completed, with the Premier League boasting three sides in the mix.
Scottish champions Celtic are also involved, alongside former European Cup winners Juventus, AC Milan and Benfica among the heavyweight names.
Premier League eyeing hat-trick
The Premier League is looking to secure a third consecutive triumph in Europe's secondary competition. Aston Villa conquered last year, while Tottenham beat Manchester United in 2025.
Last season's winner came from England's top flight as Aston Villa saw off Freiburg, and the Europa Conference League winners from 12 months ago, Crystal Palace, are in the draw by virtue of that success.
English and Scottish hopes
Bournemouth, now under new leadership, are in Europe for the first time in their history, whilst Sunderland, off the back of an incredible first year back in the Premier League, get to enjoy a crack at European football.
Bournemouth and Sunderland, who finished sixth and seventh in last year's Premier League, are in the mix. Crystal Palace, the winners of last year's Europa Conference League, are also in. Celtic will be the sole Scottish side present.
English sides have triumphed in each of the last two years with Tottenham lifting the trophy the year prior to Villa. The biggest prize remains a spot in the following season's Champions League.
Celtic, off the back of their embarrassing failure to qualify for Europe's elite competition, are also in the Europa League. Mirror Football will keep you across the draw.
