When is the fucking draw for this god-forsaken competition? And who are our potential opponents

The draw will take place in Nyon at the headquarters of UEFA and proceedings will get started at 12pm GMT (7am ET), one hour after the draw for the Champions League.

The 12 group winners, plus the four best third-placed teams from the Champions League, will go into the draw as seeded teams. The runners-up and remaining Champions League sides are the unseeded teams.
Seeded teams are drawn against unseeded sides with the first leg at the home of the unseeded teams, before a second leg at the home stadium of the seeded side a week later.
Teams from the same group or same country cannot be drawn together for the round of 32, meaning Arsenal and Chelsea will not be playing each other. However, should Rangers and Celtic qualify, they could be drawn against the Premier League clubs.
