The Europa League group stage draw pots have been confirmed for Liverpool, Brighton, West Ham and Rangers.
The draw will take place on Friday morning, with the four British clubs finding out which teams they will face in the group stage of this season's competition.
Liverpool have been placed in pot one, due to their five-year UEFA co-efficient that encompasses winning the Champions League in 2019.
West Ham will join them in pot one, having been automatically allocated to that section of the draw due to winning last season's Europa Conference League.
And Rangers reaching the Europa League final in 2022 means their co-efficient is sufficiently high enough to also place them in pot one. Michael Beale's side were knocked out of Champions League qualifying this season by PSV.And European debutants Brighton will be placed in pot three, meaning Roberto De Zerbi's side could be in for a tricky draw.
