UEFA Europa League draw: Arsenal and Man Utd await their fate in the group stage | OneFootball

The draw for the UEFA Europa League 2022/23 group stage will take place today in Istanbul, Turkey, a day after the draw for the Champions League concluded.

Arsenal and Manchester United are among the top participants, with both being placed in Pot 1.

The two Premier League giants failed to qualify for UCL after finishing outside the top four in the Premier League last term.

Pot 2 contains Ligue 1 giants Rennes and AS Monaco alongside Eredivisie clubs Feyenoord and PSV Eindhoven. La Liga underdogs Real Sociedad and Bulgarian league winners Ludogorets Razgrad are drawn in the same pot.

Moldovan minnows Sheriff Tiraspol, who progressed through play-offs, and Manuel Pellegrini’s Real Betis lead Pot 3 alongside Bodo/Glimt and Union Berlin, with the former falling short against Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League play-offs.

The likes of Nantes, Trabzonspor and Austrian outfit Sturm Graz are placed in the final pot.
