It’s on the UEFA You Tube channel and TNT Sport (what was BT Sport) will be showing it live too.

Yes because that’s how UEFA structure it. In the Champions League the defending champions and the Europa League winners are automatically in pot 1.

3rd favourites because English bookies take more money on English clubs. It isn’t just based on how likely we are to win the whole thing but on what risk the bookies have too.

UEFA allow loan players to play against parent clubs. I guess it would depend on if we’ve included a clause that prevents it into the loan agreement. Loan players are automatically banned from playing against their parent club in the Premier League.

I think league games are being played at home grounds in the Ukraine where possible. Zorya are from Luhansk which is in the Russian occupied Dunbas area of Ukraine so they've got to play their league games elsewhere. This season they'll be playing in a stadium near Kyiv, last season they shared...

They won’t be playing in Ukraine. The second leg of their qualifier is being played in Poland. Of the other Ukrainian clubs who have been involved in qualifiers Dnipro-1 have played their qualifiers in Slovakia. Dynamo Kyiv are playing in Romania. Vorskla Poltava played in Poland too (but they...

We are better than the third pot but this being our first venture into Europe means our seeding won’t reflect our true ranking across all the clubs involved. However I wouldn’t read too much into us being second favourites, English bookies will take more money on local clubs so will reduce the...

The fixtures are normally announced the day after the draw. The schedule isn't as simple as Pot 1 v Pot 4 week one either. As you can see below, last season every group has a slightly different schedule, the only thing that is the same across all groups is that Week 1 and Week 6 fixtures are...

The closest ground is FK Spartak Subotica which holds 13,000 but that doesn't look like it has enough seats (8,000 min) required for the group stage. Closest viable options would appear to be in Belgrade which is about 150km from Bačka Topola where TSC are based. The options there would be...

I was correcting the fact that a couple of posters had said there was no Scottish team in the Europa League qualifying. Just because they don’t appear on the expected teams list which appears to be based solely on UEFA rankings means nothing. There is no point paying too much attention to the...

Aberdeen are in the Europa League play off round. Win that and they will be in the group stage. Lose and they drop into the group stages of the Conference League.

Rangers actually enter at the 3rd qualifying round, they’d have to win 2 ties to get to the CL group stage. Defeat in either means they’d be in the Europa League group stage.
