Europa League draw

The full draw will be live on Euro Sport either just before or just after the CL draw (as it is every year)

Expect Sky Sports news to show it aswell due to the fact that us and the Rags are in it

Lokomotiv Moskow
Man City
Trabonspor
Scum U
Ajax
Valencia
Olympiakos
Porto
FC Viktoria Plzen

Seeded teams in bold - winners of Europa League groups + 4 best placed CL drop outs.

We will be away first and home second - deemed more favourable in rewarding seeded teams. So, we can have anyone not in bold and not English in the round of 32, then anyone at all in the last 16.

Best case is someone like Plzen or Salzburg, worst case Porto or Ajax

Slow day at the office?
 
I believe some of the groups will be finalised tonight. Athletic Bilbao are also through plus probably Udinese unless Celtic can perform a miracle. Birmingham have also got a slim chance of qualifying.

Urp, yeah, should have pointed out that there are still some games to go in the Europa - i took the 'as is' situation.
Possible replacements from the list above:

Spuds cans till quality if they batter Shamrock Rovers, and Kazan suffer defeat.

Same with Copenhagen in Group B, if they win and Hannover lose with a goal swing of +3 in Copenhagens favour.

Austria Vienna could knock out AZ Alkmaar, but very unlikely as +7 goal swing needed there. Just as unlikely for Birmingham.

Udinese and Celtic fighting it out for one spot - they play each other in Italy.
