The 48 teams who have made it to this stage are split into four pots for the draw.
A team is drawn in turn from these, eventually making up 12 groups of four teams.
Chelsea and Arsenal, as two of the top seeds, occupy a spot in Pot 1 and can’t be in the same group.
And although Celtic and Rangers occupy different pots, Uefa rules dictate that no team can play a club from their own association.
Pot 1: Arsenal, Chelsea, Sevilla, Zenit St Petersburg, Bayer Leverkusen, Dynamo Kiev, Besiktas, Red Bull Salzburg, Olympiakos, Villarreal, Anderlecht, Lazio
Pot 2: Celtic, Sporting Lisbon, Ludogorets Razgrad, Copenhagen, Marseille, PAOK, AC Milan, Genk, Fenerbahce, Krasnodar, Astana, Rapid Vienna
Pot 3: Real Betis, Qarabag, BATE Borisov, Dinamo Zagreb, RB Leipzig, Eintracht Frankfurt, Malmo, Spartak Moscow, Standard Liege, FC Zurich, Bordeaux, Rennes
Pot 4: Rangers, Apollon Limassol, Rosenborg, Vorskla Poltava, Slavia Prague, Akhisarspor, Jablonec, AEK Larnaca, MOL Vidi, F91 Dudelange, Spartak Trnava, Sarpsborg
The draw gets going in Monaco at midday UK time.
