UEFA Europa League round of 16 draw  All You Need To Know  West Ham 
United FC
So, 71 days after playing our sixth and final Group A tie, West Ham United’s UEFA Europa League challenge resumes with the round of 16. Here's all you need to know...

So, who could we play against?

West Ham United are seeded, as we've just established, so we can only be drawn against one of the eight unseeded teams.

However, the unseeded teams include two who have dropped into the UEFA Europa League and triumphed in the knockout play-off round after finishing third in their UEFA Champions League group.

When it comes to UEFA coefficients, the highest-ranked team left in the competition is Italian side Roma (92.000), followed by Spanish outfit Villarreal (80.000).

Our own coefficient of 65.000, accumulated over the last two-and-a-half campaigns of the five-year counting period, ranks us at sixth of the remaining clubs.

Anyway, here are the 16 teams who will be in the hat on Friday:

Seeded Teams Unseeded Teams
West Ham United (ENG) SC Freiburg (GER)
Brighton & Hove Albion (ENG) Marseille (FRA)
Rangers (SCO) Sparta Prague (CZE)
Atalanta (ITA) Sporting CP (POR)
Liverpool (ENG) Benfica (POR)
Villarreal (ESP) AC Milan (ITA)
Slavia Prague (CZE) Roma (ITA)
Bayer Leverkusen (GER) Qarabag (AZE)

When will our round of 16 ties take place?

We'll travel to the first leg on Thursday 7 March - unless we draw Sporting Lisbon, in which case it will be played on Tuesday 5 March - and welcome our opponents to London Stadium a week later on Thursday 14 March.

Tickets for the home leg are on sale to Season Ticket Holders and Bondholders now and can be bought by clicking here or on the graphic below!

Dates and kick-off times for both ties will be confirmed following the draw.

Without getting ahead of ourselves, when will the later rounds be played?
