27 augustus 2010 10:15

PSV will discover their opponents in the Europa League group stage when the draw takes place in Monaco at 13.00CET. PSV are joined in Pot 1 by eleven other leading clubs, including AZ. FC Utrecht, who pulled off a stunning 4-0 win over Celtic, are in Pot 4. Feyenoord were knocked out of the tournament last night by AA Gent.

The draw will take place in Monaco at 13.00CET.

48 contenders split into four seeded pots.

The 48 sides are split into four seeding pots, with one from each being drawn into the 12 groups. Two sides from the same association cannot be drawn in the same group, so PSV and AZ will not face FC Utrecht in the group stages. Games will be played on 16 and 30 September, 22 October, 4 November, 1/2, and 15/16 December.
