Premier League heavyweights Manchester United and Arsenal begin as the leading contenders for this season's Europa League, although Jose Mourinho's Roma is eyeing back-to-back continental titles after claiming the inaugural Europa Conference League earlier this year.

This picture shows the UEFA Europa League trophy during the draw for the UEFA Europa League football tournament in Istanbul on August 27, 2021.

That means the likes of United and Arsenal will be relying on their squad depth to get them through some of their less glamorous Thursday night fixtures while they try to maintain challenges at the top of the Premier League. The last club to fall out of Europe’s elite club competition and go on to win the Europa League was Atletico Madrid in 2018.

Europa League winners in 2017 and runners-up in 2021, United will not fear their other opponents, even if perennial Moldovan champions Sheriff beat Real Madrid away in last season’s Champions League. Among their group-stage opponents will be Real Betis, whose coach Manuel Pellegrini was Mourinho’s predecessor at Real Madrid over a decade ago.
