Europa League draw live updates: Liverpool to play Sparta Prague, Brighton to face Roma, Conference League latest

Once again we get the treat of Ayo Akinwolere's explainer of next season's European competition formats - and with that, we are done.

Perhaps the two most efficient draws in UEFA history. A format they really should extent to all draws.

Anyway, remember to share your thoughts with us too - simply email: livebloguk@theathletic.com

Standing out for me, alongside the obvious Ajax vs Aston Villa tie, are Brighton's sister team USG facing Fenerbahce, Sturm Graz vs Lille and Molde vs Club Bruges.

Some interesting match-ups there, for sure.

And the final tie of the Conference League round of 16 is...

🔮 Olympiacos v Maccabi Tel Aviv

And with that, we are done. Yep, that Ajax v Villa tie was definitely the highlight.

The penultimate tie...

🔮 Maccabi Haifa v Fiorentina

A really interesting match-up between two of European football's historically successful clubs.

You have to say Villa are the favourites, considering the Dutch side's patchy domestic form.

Will a Greek side play in the final in Athens? Maybe...

🔮 Dinamo Zagreb v PAOK

This should be a fun one...

🔮 Royale Union Saint-Gilloise v Fenerbahce

That's probably the highlight of this draw done and dusted already, but we'll persevere. Next...

🔮 Molde v Club Bruges

First out...

🔮 Servette v Viktoria Plzen

Plzen the only team to win all six of their games.

A clap here for Tobias Hedtstuck, UEFA's snappily titled head of club competitions and calendar.

He is at his best, explaining the logistics for a couple of moments ahead of each draw.

Here we go...

Taking up the Joh O'Shea role this time is former Greece star and Euro 2004 winner, Kostas Katsouranis.

He is the ambassador's for this season's final, which is in Athens. He also has extremely slow English. But this is in no way a criticism, as my Greek is non-existent.

Once again, presenter Pinto introduces Giorgio Marchetti.

Big man to little man, a partnership reminiscent of Niall Quinn and Kevin Phillips, Peter Crouch and Jermain Defoe.

There's no hiding the big hitters in the Conference League this season.

Aston Villa, Fenerbahce, Lille and Fiorentina all won their group and look as strong as they come.

But Maccabi Tel Aviv, PAOK, Viktoria Plzen - the only side with a 100% record in the group stages - and Club Bruges are also among the seeds.

It's also always hard to take Ajax lightly, even if this has been a mess of a season for the Dutch giants.

It's time for the Conference League then. The draw will start in a few minutes and our experience of the Europa League tells us it'll come and go quickly.

I know, we're just not used to such efficiency.

Let's build-up with some of the teams to keep an eye out for...
