Joining Albion in the draw are the other seven group winners: West Ham United, Rangers, Atalanta, Liverpool, Villarreal, Slavia Prague and Bayer Leverkusen.

The other eight teams will be decided after the two-legged play-off round in February when the eight group runners-up are joined by eight teams who finished third in the Champions League group stage.
