With Arsenal and Manchester United still in the Europa League, fans should keep their eyes peeled ahead of the draw.
The Gunners, unlike United are automatically in the hat for the last-16 draw after progressing straight past the play-off round. This is because Mikel Arteta’s side finished top of Group A, losing just one game in the process.
As for Erik ten Hag’s Red Devils, they’ll be hoping to join their fellow Premier League side in the draw for the last-16. However, they’ll have to overcome Barcelona in the second leg of their play-off clash.
