The likes of Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace have learned their opponents for continental competition after the draws for the league phases of the Europa League and Conference League took place in Monaco.
Drama surrounding FA Cup champions Palace’s participation in Europe has dominated the summer, with a breach of Uefa’s multi-club ownership rules seeing them demoted from the Europa League to the Conference League. Premier League counterparts Nottingham Forest have benefitted from the ruling, being bumped up to the second-tier tournament.
