How does the draw work? 

The 16 teams are split into two groups – the group stage winners and the knockout round play-off winners. 

The eight group winners will be seeded while the eight play-off winners will be unseeded. 

Each group winner will be drawn to play the second leg at home. 

While clubs from the same association cannot be drawn against each other so Arsenal will not face United should they make it through
