Leicester and West Ham will learn their Europa League group stage opponents soon as this season's competition gets up and running.

Villarreal beat Manchester United to European glory last term, winning on penalties after David de Gea fluffed his spot kick.

The qualifying rounds are still ongoing across Europe and several teams are still looking to book their place in the main competition.

But Premier League duo Leicester and West Ham will be joined by the likes of European big guns Napoli, Bayer Leverkusen and Braga.

The final of this season's Europa League will be held on May 18 at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in Seville.

But before we can start to even think about that, we must first sort out the groups.
