With just one game to go, the Europa League group stage is nearing a dramatic conclusion as several teams prepare to battle it out for a place in the knockout round next week. Some head into it with the luxury of qualification already in the bag, including Premier League duo Arsenal and Manchester United. Potential Europa League play-off opponents for Arsenal if they finish second in Group A (teams from same nations cannot meet): Barcelona, Sevilla, Ajax, Atletico Madrid, Sporting Lisbon/Eintracht Frankfurt/Marseille, AC Milan/Red Bull Salzburg/Dinamo Zagreb, RB Leipzig/Shakhtar Donetsk, Juventus/Maccabi Haifa. If not, however, Roma will drop into the Europa Conference League and be forced to contest knockout-round playoffs against group runners-up in February. Potential Europa League play-off opponents for Roma if they finish second in Group C (teams from same nations cannot meet): Barcelona, Sevilla, Ajax, Atletico Madrid, Tottenham/Sporting Lisbon/Eintracht Frankfurt/Marseille, Red Bull Salzburg/Dinamo Zagreb, RB Leipzig/Shakhtar Donetsk, Maccabi Haifa.
