The draw for the knockout rounds of the Europa Conference League takes place on Friday, with Chelsea finding out their last-16 opponents and a potential route to the final.
The draw for the knockout rounds of the Europa Conference League takes place at 2pm CET (1pm GMT) on Friday, 21 February at the House of European Football in Nyon, Switzerland.
The Blues remain the overwhelming favourites to win the competition despite a slip up in domestic form recently, with Enzo Maresca’s side having strolled to six wins from six and 26 goals scored in the competition’s league phase.
The sides who finished in the top eight of the league phase are joined in the draw by the eight teams who won their respective play-off ties.
Maresca’s decision to include Cole Palmer in the squad for the knockout rounds suggests that the club are taking the competition seriously as they look to become the first side to win all three of Uefa’s main cup competitions.
