As if summer transfer deadline day wasn't exciting enough already, Friday is also the day of the Europa League group stage draw.

It may not have the prestige of the Champions League, but Europe's secondary competition never fails to serve up plenty of drama – and you'd imagine things will be no different this year.

Three English clubs are set to take part – West Ham are chasing more silverware after their Europa Conference League triumph in 2022/23, Liverpool return after six seasons in the Champions League, and Brighton are set to play in Europe for the first time ever.

Alongside them in pursuit of a place in the final at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin next May are some familiar faces, such as Roma, Marseille and Villarreal, as well as a few clubs UK fans might not be familiar with, including Servette and TSC.

Joining the 16 sides already confirmed in the draw are the six losers of Wednesday's Champions League playoffs and the 10 winners of Thursday's Europa League playoffs.

With a host of former European stars no doubt roped into proceedings, Friday's draw should offer plenty of entertainment and will, of course, lock in the group stage line-up.

RadioTimes.com has rounded up all the details for the Europa League draw.
