Juventus and Roma will both be eager to avoid Arsenal, Real Sociedad and Fenerbahce in the Europa League Round of 16 draw.

The Serie A sides got through the play-offs, as Juve came down from the Champions League and got the better of Nantes 4-1 on aggregate thanks to an Angel Di Maria hat-trick, while the Giallorossi saw off RB Salzburg 2-1 after finishing second in their group.

The draw for the Round of 16 will see the group stage winners as top seeds, and those who came through the play-offs as unseeded.

It will be held on Friday February 24 at 11.00 GMT at the House of European Football in Nyon, Switzerland.

The seeded teams also play the second leg at home and clubs from the same country cannot be drawn against each other.

The first leg will be on March 9 with the return on March 16.

Roma could be drawn against Real Betis, who they already played in the group phase.

Shakhtar Donetsk qualified for the last 16 after beating Rennes on penalties.
