Arsenal and Manchester United are both battling for a place in the Europa League quarter-finals, but when will the draw for the last-eight take place? And when will the matches be played?

The Europa League round of 16 gets underway on Thursday evening, with Premier League duo Manchester United and Arsenal battling for a place in the quarter-finals.

Arsenal are in pole position to land a historic Premier League title, but the Europa League resembles another golden opportunity for silverware with Mikel Arteta's side the overwhelming favourites against last-16 opponents Sporting Lisbon.

Any hopes of a United title-charge were largely crushed following their humiliating 7-0 defeat to Liverpool, but, after beating Barcelona to reach the last-16, they are well placed to challenge for the Europa League trophy.
