    Europa League Round of 32Image source, Uefa

    Above are the 32 teams who will be competing in the first knockout round of the Europa League - a motley assortment of clubs. 

    The 12 group winners have been joined by the four teams who finished third in their Champions League group with the best record, with the four worst joining the twelve runners-up.

    Same rules as the Champions League - teams from the same country or who qualified from the same group can't be drawn against each other.

    So, despite being in different sides of the draw, there'll be no Tottenham v Manchester United fixture just yet...

    Leicester City will give anyone a tough time if they play with the intensity and power they showed in thrashing Manchester City but they are up against European specialists in Sevilla, who have won the Europa League for the last three seasons.

    Monaco's displays in beating Tottenham home and away will have warned Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola about their quality and he also has serious defensive issues to address.

    Guardiola, like Wenger and Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri, will recognise he has been handed a difficult assignment - but all three will feel they have been given obstacles they have a chance of overcoming.

    We'll continue to round up the reaction from the Champions League draw, but those sides left in the Europa League will also soon find out who they play in the first knockout stage.

    Tottenham and Manchester United are in the hat - more of a bowl these days isn't it? - while the likes of Fiorentina, Lyon and Schalke will also fancy their chances this year.

    'Guarded optimism' for Arsenalpublished at 11:52 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2016

    The Premier League's three representatives in the last 16 of the Champions League have all been handed tough draws - but also ties that will offer them the realistic opportunity of progress.

    Arsenal, reigning champions Leicester City and Manchester City could have been given easier opponents but there will also be guarded optimism surrounding the prospect of facing Bayern Munich, Sevilla and Monaco.

    The Gunners are aiming to end a run of six successive exits at this stage against the Bundesliga champions and some may curse the draw that pairs them with Bayern.

    It is not a comfortable reward for topping their group and they have suffered before against Bayern in this competition.

    This time around, though, Arsene Wenger's team are starting to show growing maturity and resilience while Bayern have not exactly been their usual imperious selves under Carlo Ancelotti.

    Man City v Monaco

    Manchester City director of football Txiki Begiristain says the club's draw against Monaco should provide some exciting games.

    "Monaco are playing probably the best football in France now," he told BT Sport.

    "In the group of Tottenham and Bayer Leverkusen they were top. They have young players and a lot of talent. They play good football. It is a good draw."

    Man City 'should be delighted'published at 11:43 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2016

    Manchester City should be delighted with the prospect of playing AS Monaco in the last 16 of the Champions League. 

    The team from the Principality would have been regarded by most “experts” as the most beatable of their potential opponents, and a visit to Formula 1’s most iconic venue will be a treat for the supporters who make the trip.

    The Blues will be away in the second leg and will face former Manchester United striker Radamel Falcao. The only playing connection between the clubs is Rony Lopes, who made one appearance for City in the League Cup, but has been loaned out by Monaco to Lille.

    City won’t play the fixtures against the Ligue 1 team until well into the New Year, which is perhaps just as well as they’re currently in a run of just four wins in 15 games, and were well beaten at Leicester City at the weekend. 

    They’ll be hoping that form will have improved by then, possibly with the addition of new recruits during January.
