How do the Europa League draws work?

The draws for the quarter-finals and semi-finals differ from the last-16 draw in that teams can now face opposition from the same national association, as well as teams they faced in the group stage.

There are also no more seedings, unlike in the last-16 draw, so teams who finished top of their group can now face each other. 

There will be three draws on Friday: one for the quarter-finals, another for the semi-finals - by pairing quarter-final ties - and a draw to determine the "home" side in the final for administrative purposes.
