talksport.com, 13 December 2021, 08:48

The Europa League group stage has come to an end and that means the knockout stages are just around the corner.

Clubs played one more fixture in their groups this evening before the top two teams from each pool will progress to the next round.

Of course they'll be joined by the eight third-placed teams from the Champions League groups but in a new format the draw will be shaped differently as the competition moves into 2022.

West Ham have already progressed to the next round, while Rangers have also made it through.

The same can't be said for Celtic and Leicester City, however, who drop into the Europa Conference League.

Europa League draw: Date and time

The play-off and last 16 draw ceremony will take place on Monday, December 13 in Nyon, Switzerland.

It will get under way at 12pm UK time.

Europa League draw: Who can play who?

The play-off round will see the eight Europa League group runners up face off against the eight teams who have been demoted from the Champions League after finishing third in their groups.

They'll compete in a two-legged play-off in February.

The winner of those eight ties will face the eight winners of the Europa League groups in the last 16 in March.
