Ten Hag backs Man Utd to end season with unbeaten run
Manchester United and Arsenal won't have to wait long to learn their Europa League fate if they progress through Thursday's last-16 second legs. United already have one foot in the quarter-finals as they travel to Real Betis, but Arsenal face a more precarious proposition as Sporting Lisbon visit the Emirates Stadium.
Erik ten Hag's side boast a 4-1 lead after a rout at Old Trafford last week, leaving Betis in need of a miracle to turn the tie around.
Meanwhile, the Gunners came from behind to rescue a 2-2 draw in Lisbon, meaning they simply have to win on home turf to progress.
Elsewhere, Royale Union Saint-Gilloise vs Union Berlin and Feyenoord vs Shakhtar Donetsk are finely poised after 3-3 and 1-1 first-leg draws, respectively.
Bayer Leverkusen (vs Ferencvaros), AS Roma (vs Real Sociedad) and Sevilla (vs Fenerbache) all have two-goal leads in their ties, while Juventus also lead Freiburg 1-0 ahead of a trip to Germany.
Express Sport provides all you need to know ahead of the Europa League quarter-final... and semi-final... draws.
When is the draw?
UEFA will complete the Europa League quarter-final draw from the House of European Football in Nyon, Switzerland at 12pm on Friday, March 17.
It will follow the Champions League proceedings, with the semi-final draw to come immediately after.

Who can Man Utd and Arsenal face?
Like the Champions League, the Europa League becomes an open draw from the quarter-finals onwards.
It means Arsenal and United would be able to face any other team in the last eight, including each other in what would be a tasty all-English affair.
When are the quarter-finals?
The quarter-final ties will be held on April 13 and 20 before the semi-finals take place on May 11 and 18.
The 2023 final, hosted at the 65,000-capacity Puskas Arena in Budapest, Hungary, will go down on May 31.
