The Europa League play-off round draw takes place on Monday, and we have all the information on how to watch the draw.
The play-off round is a new inclusion for this year's Europa League. It is instead of the usual group stage to knockout round format we usually see.
The play-off will break up this usual format, with the eight runners-up from the Europa League groups drawn against the eight third-placed teams from the Champions League groups. The eight Europa League group winners, meanwhile, are already in the last 16 draw, which takes place in February.
In terms of today's draw, the only major rule is that teams from each association cannot draw each other, ruling out the prospect of a crunch tie between Ajax and PSV.
In addition, Barcelona and Sevilla cannot face each other, as they are both unseeded teams, whilst Juventus vs Roma cannot be drawn either.

But there are still many incredible ties that could be drawn - here is how to watch all the action to see whether any of those possible ties become reality:
