Season in a nutshell: Napoli began with high hopes under new coach Carlo Ancelotti but were not helped by being drawn in a tough UEFA Champions League section. They could only finish third behind Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool, and now see the UEFA Europa League as their silverware target, having exited the Coppa Italia and let Juventus build a commanding Serie A lead.
UEFA ranking: 10 This season: W7 D1 L2 F19 A6 (group stage) Knockouts: 3-1 v BATE Borisov, 4-3 v Rennes Top scorer: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (4) Last season: UEFA Europa League semi-finals UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League best: runners-up (2000)
Season in a nutshell: Arsenal’s first season without Arsène Wenger since 1995/96 has been an enigmatic affair. Eleven successive wins between August and October had fans singing “We’ve got our Arsenal back”, but since then the club’s familiar defensive issues have plagued their progress. Nevertheless, the goal remains a UEFA Champions League return – either as UEFA Europa League winners or top-four finishers in England.
UEFA ranking: 20 This season: W5 D5 L0 F19 A8 (group stage) Knockouts: 2-1 v Sporting CP, 5-2 v Zenit Top scorer: Gerard Moreno (4) Last season: UEFA Europa League round of 32 UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League best: semi-finals (2004, 2011, 2016)
Season in a nutshell: Villarreal’s progress in Europe has been an isolated bright spot in a difficult campaign for the club – previously so consistent since their return to the Spanish top flight in 2013/14. Battling relegation and quickly eliminated from the Copa del Rey, the Yellow Submarine replaced coach Javier Calleja with Luis García in December only to reinstate him in late January.
UEFA ranking: 44 This season: W3 D1 L0 F6 A2 (round of 32) Knockouts: 3-0 v Celtic, 3-2 v Krasnodar Top scorer: Rodrigo (2) Last season: N/A (previous campaign: 2015/16) UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League best: winners (2004)
Season in a nutshell: Another team transferred into the competition from the UEFA Champions League, Valencia began the season with just one win from their first 13 games in all competition. Since then, they have steadily climbed the Liga table while booking themselves a spot in the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona in May.
UEFA ranking: 21 This season: W2 D1 L1 F5 A2 (round of 32) Knockouts: 2-1 v Galatasaray, 3-1 aet v Dinamo Zagreb Top scorer: Eduardo Salvio, Haris Seferović, Jonas, Francisco Ferreira, Alex Grimaldo (1) Last season: UEFA Champions League group stage UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League best: runners-up (1983, 2013, 2014)
Season in a nutshell: Having finished third behind Bayern and Ajax in their UEFA Champions League group, Benfica are now dreaming of a first ever triumph in this competitions. It would be a fine achievement for Bruno Lage, who has flourished since taking over from Rui Vitória in January – most notably steering the Eagles right back into a tense Liga title race with Porto.
UEFA ranking: 77 This season: W8 D2 L0 F24 A8 (group stage) Knockouts: 6-3 v Shakhtar Donetsk, 1-0 v Internazionale Top scorer: Luka Jović (7) Last season: N/A (previous campaign: 2013/14) UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League best: winners (1980)
Season in a nutshell: What a turnaround it has been since the start of the campaign, when Frankfurt lost four of their first five matches under Adolf Hütter. The successor to Niko Kovač held his nerve and has guided the club from 15th in the Bundesliga to top-four contention, while regularly impressing in Europe – thanks largely to prolific duo Luka Jović and Sébastien Haller.
UEFA ranking: 72 This season: W5 D3 L2 F14 A9 (group stage) Knockouts: 4-1 v Genk, 6-5 aet v Sevilla Top scorer: Miroslav Stoch, Milan Škoda, Jaromír Zmrhal (2) Last season: UEFA Europa League group stage UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League best: semi-finals (1995/96)
Season in a nutshell: Miroslav Stoch has led the way in terms of goalscoring for Slavia as they have kept up a challenge on three fronts. Possessing a solid lead over Viktoria Plzeň in their domestic league and through to the Czech Cup quarter-finals, Jindřích Trpišovský’s men are also making a big splash in Europe after ousting Sevilla in the last 16.
UEFA ranking: 17 This season: W9 D1 L0 F25 A4 (group stage) Knockouts: 5-1 v Malmö, 8-0 v Dynamo Kyiv Top scorer: Olivier Giroud (9) Last season: UEFA Champions League round of 16 UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League best: winners (2013)
Season in a nutshell: Chelsea kicked off with five straight victories in the Premier League as former Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri settled in, yet that early momentum gradually began to fade. Although the Blues finished runners-up in the English League Cup, they have slipped in the top-flight standings and suffered FA Cup elimination – increasing the onus on their UEFA Europa League tilt.
Arsenal and Chelsea cannot play at home on the same night following a decision made by the relevant local authorities. With both clubs drawn at home in the same week, Arsenal’s tie will be reversed in accordance with UEFA Club Competitions Committee principles. The first leg against Napoli will therefore be in north London.
Napoli coach Carlo Ancelotti was Chelsea manager between 2009 and 2011; his record against Arsenal with the Blues was W3 L1.
Arsenal and Napoli recorded 2-0 home wins when these sides were drawn together in the 2013/14 UEFA Champions League group stage.
Villarreal (ESP) v Valencia (ESP)
Just 60km separate these teams on Spain’s east coast, and meetings are known as the Derbi de la Comunitat.
Valencia’s Mista scored the only goal of the 2003/04 UEFA Cup semi-final against Villarreal from the penalty spot in the Mestalla second leg.
That 2004 win was Valencia’s last victory in a two-legged contest against another Spanish club; they have lost their last four, most recently on away goals to Athletic Club in the 2015/16 UEFA Europa League round of 16.
Benfica (POR) v Frankfurt (GER)
These sides have never met.
Watch Luka Jović’s fine strike on Thursday
Luka Jović is on a two-season loan from Benfica, for whom he made four first-team outings. The forward has scored 21 in all competitions for Frankfurt this term, including the round of 16 winner at Internazionale.
Benfica’s Haris Seferovic was an Eintracht player from 2014 and 2017 before moving to Lisbon; he scored 16 goals in 86 league appearances for the Frankfurt club.
Slavia Praha (CZE) v Chelsea (ENG)
These sides have never met.
Slavia’s heaviest European defeat came in London – a 7-0 loss at Arsenal in the 2007/08 UEFA Champions League group stage.
Chelsea are unbeaten in their six matches against Czech opposition (W3 D3).
Slavia’s Miroslav Stoch was at Chelsea between 2006 and 2009, making only five first-team appearances – all as a substitute.
It was an open draw, so there was no seeding or country protection. Former Netherlands striker Pierre van Hooijdonk, a UEFA Cup winner with Feyenoord in 2002, selected the balls.
11/04/18: quarter-finals, first leg 18/04/18: quarter-finals, second leg 02/05/18: semi-finals, first leg 09/05/18: semi-finals, second leg 29/05/18: final (Olympic Stadium, Baku)
All kick-offs at 21:00CET though exceptions to this rule can be made by the UEFA administration.
