Matt Verri26 August 2022

Today’s Europa League group stage draw will set out Arsenal and Manchester United’s route to the knockout stages.

Both clubs will view this as a realistic route into next season’s Champions League and the two English sides enter the competition as the two favourites to lift the trophy in Budapest next May.

Jose Mourinho’s Roma will fancy their chances too, after success in the inaugural Europa Conference League, while as ever there will be strong Champions League sides dropping down for the knockout stages. Before that though, the focus is on the group stage and all will be revealed in this week’s draw.
