Europa League draw LIVE! West Ham, Liverpool and Brighton learn group stage opponents

Europa League Liverpool Brighton (Organization) West Ham Conference League

Europa League draw LIVE!

The group stage draws for both the Europa League and Conference League take place this afternoon, with West Ham, Liverpool, Brighton and Aston Villa all in the mix. The Hammers won the Conference League last season, and their prize was qualification for the second-tier competition. They join Liverpool and Rangers in Pot 1.

Brighton’s remarkable sixth-placed finish in the Premier League last season has rewarded them with that first ever European group stage draw. They find themselves in Pot 3. After the four British teams learn their fate, it will be the Conference League’s chance, with Villa back in Europe after a 12-year absence. It has been even longer since they made it this far.

The action gets under way in Monaco from 12pm UK time, with the Conference League draw following an hour later. Follow both draws LIVE below with our dedicated match blog. Stick with us for all the build-up, action and reaction.
