GOAL provides everything you need to know about the upcoming Europa League knockout round play-off draw
The 2022-23 Europa League group stage has concluded and has thrown up a few surprises along the way.
There's been mixed news for Premier League teams Arsenal and Man Utd. The Gunners progressed as Group A winners but Erik ten Hag's side had to settle for a runners-up spot in Group E despite finishing off with a 1-0 win over Real Sociedad.
The Red Devils drop into the play-off draw along with PSV, Rennes, Roma, Union Berlin, Midtjylland and Nantes. The winners of the play-offs will join Arsenal and fellow group winners Fenerbahce, Real Betis, Union SG, Feyenoord, Freibug and Ferencvaros in the last 16.
As the group stage has now concluded, GOAL has the key information about which teams have already qualified, how to watch the draw for the knockout round play-off, when it will take place and more.

The draw for the 2022-23 Europa League knockout round play-off phase will happen on Monday, November 7, 2022. It will start at 12pm GMT / 7am ET / 5:30pm IST.
It will be held at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
The eight runners-up from the UEFA Europa League group stage will be seeded, while the eight third-placed teams from the UEFA Champions League group stage are unseeded.
Clubs from the same association cannot be drawn against each other, so Barcelona could not face another team from La Liga or Bayer Leverkusen could not be paired with another Bundesliga side.
