The Europa League draw commences at 12pm in Monaco.
The 36 teams are placed into four pots of nine, and each team will face two teams from each of the four pots.are all in pot one, meaning they will be drawn out first and then assigned their opponents by the AI supercomputer that will be handling the draw.Former Sweden and Atalanta midfielder Glenn Stromberg, who won the UEFA Cup with IFK Goteborg in 1982, has now walked on to the stage with the Europa League trophy. Looks like he's going to be involved in the draw.
Instead of the traditional group stage format, the 36 teams involved in this season's Europa League will play in a singular league. Some aspects remain the same - teams cannot draw another team from the same league, for instance - but there are a number of changes. Each team plays eight games instead of six, and will be drawn against two teams from each of the four pots. There will also be four home games and four away games for each team.
The teams from pot one will be drawn out manually, before an AI supercomputer takes over to assign them all seven opponents each. The process repeats itself for each of the four pots.
