A range of 32 teams will be looking to follow in West Ham United's footsteps this season by getting their hands on the Europa Conference League trophy.

That dream will start to feel a little more realistic for the teams involved on Friday, as the eight groups will be confirmed in the competition's group stage draw.

It might not have the prestige of the Champions League or indeed Europa League but the tournament, and the opportunity it offers clubs slightly further down the food chain, is still special – just ask Hammers fans.

The full 32-team roster will be confirmed on Thursday, the day before the draw, and bar a remarkable comeback from Hibs, England are set to be represented by Aston Villa.

Villa have made it no secret they want to disrupt the Premier League's 'big six', but Unai Emery's side will no doubt be desperate to taste European success as well. A positive draw on Friday would certainly be a step in the right direction.
