    Italian giants AC Milan, who has spent over £100m this summer, are the ones to look out for.

  12. Technical information:

    • 44 teams in total, 22 places in Europa League group stages to play for.
    • Two groups of 10, two groups of 12.
    • Teams from the same country cannot face each other.

  13. Watching highlights of last year's Europa League final now, as Manchester United won the competition for the first time by easing past Ajax.

    And it completed the missing piece of the jigsaw by winning every European competition they have played in.

  14. The main man Uefa deputy general secretary Giorgio Marchetti is our MC again.

    I love his Anglo-Italian accent. You'd want him to read you a bedtime story.

  15. The time is 12:01 BST and no balls have yet been drawn out of the pots.

    My money is safe.

  16. Says it's a 12:00 BST start for the Europa League play-off draw.

    I will give all my readers £1 if it starts on time...

  19. Dominic Calvert-LewinReuters

    Everton defeated Slovakian side Ruzomberok to make it through to the play-off round, but the biggest shock of the Europa League third qualifying saw 1988 European champions PSV Eindhoven go out.

    The Dutch side were shocked by Croatian minnows Osijek.

  20. Right, let's switch our attention to the Europa League play-off draw and we have another Merseyside team with a vested interest in proceedings.
