WHEN IS IT?
The Europa League group stage draw will take place at 12:00 GMT (13:00 CET) on Friday in Monaco
WHO COULD MANCHESTER UNITED FACE?
As things stand United are currently the only British side whose pot is confirmed, with Jose Mourinho's side placed in Pot 1.
This is due to the fact that they qualified automatically for the group stage and have one of the best UEFA coefficients of teams who qualified automatically.

With teams to come into the draw via the play-offs as well as the losers of the Champions League play-offs the pots still aren't clear and it's too early to say who United could possibly draw.
WHO COULD SOUTHAMPTON FACE?
Southampton haven't had to go through a play-off but because of the various permutations depending on who qualifies their possible placing is still very unclear.

The Saints could still are likely to be in Pot 3 but could also be in Pot 4.
WHO COULD WEST HAM FACE?
Slaven Bilic's side still aren't through yet, they have to overcome Romanian champions Astra Giurgiu in the second-leg of their play-off game.

The Hammers drew 1-1 in Romania with a crucial away goal but they'll be wary given Astra were the team who knocked them out of the Europa League last season.
