Who to watch out for
11.40: As well as Chelsea and Arsenal, there are a number of big guns left in the draw.
Valencia dispatched Celtic in the last 32 while Italian giants Napoli advanced with a 2-0 second leg victory over Zurich giving them a 5-1 aggregate win.
Inter Milan will also pose a threat to anyone they come up against as will five-time winners Sevilla.
The likes of Russian outfit Krasnodar and Ligue 1 side Rennes may prove to be the easier draws on paper.
