Manchester United will play La Liga leaders, Real Sociedad in the last 32 of the Europa League, while Arsenal face Portuguese giants Benfica.
United, winners in 2017 under Jose Mourinho, dropped into the draw after their elimination from the Champions League – and now face Real Sociedad in a tie that is set to see former player Adnan Januzaj and ex-Manchester City midfielder David Silva return to Old Trafford.
Arsenal and Benfica are facing off for the first time since 1991, when the Portuguese side knocked the Gunners out in the second round.
Jose Mourinho won the Europa League in his only previous involvement – with Manchester United in 2017 – and his Spurs side are currently favourites to win their first European silverware since 1984.
Leicester will take on Slavia Prague while Scottish Premiership leaders Rangers play Belgian side Royal Antwerp with all ties being played in February.
Holders Sevilla will not defend their trophy as they are in the Champions League round of 16, while last season’s runners-up Inter Milan were eliminated from Europe’s premier competition at the group stage.
The winners of the competition will qualify for next season’s Champions League.
