Arsenal will learn their Champions League last-16 opponents when the draw is made on Friday.

In the new league phase format, the top eight teams progressed straight through to the last 16 and avoided an extra two-legged play-off tie.

The teams from ninth to 24th were thrown into a play-off stage to confirm the eight unseeded teams in the last-16 stage.

As a result of finishing third in the league phase, Arsenal were drawn to face either the winners of the play-off ties between the 13th and 14th seeds, or the 19th and 20th seeds. They were: AC Milan, Feyenoord, Juventus or PSV Eindhoven.

Feyenoord progressed past AC Milan 2-1 on aggregate following a 1-1 draw at the San Siro on Tuesday, after Julian Carranza scored a 73rd-minute equaliser to stun the Serie A giants.

Juventus hold a 2-1 lead over PSV heading into their second leg in Holland on Wednesday.

Arsenal will see their opponent confirmed during the last-16 draw on Friday, February 21.

The first leg of those last-16 ties will be played on either March 4 or March 5, with the return fixtures a week later. As seeds, Arsenal will be away in the first leg with the second leg at Emirates Stadium.
