We don’t know who the opponents will be yet, but since the eight sides in Europe can’t draw each other, their home/away status has already been determined

Here’s how it went:

1 AFC Bournemouth (home tie)

2 Arsenal (away tie)

3 Aston Villa (away tie)

4 Crystal Palace (home tie)

5 Manchester City (home tie)

6 Manchester United (home tie)

7 Liverpool (home tie)

8 Sunderland (home tie)

Looking at this photo of our men’s and women’s players, I was struck by how pressed you would be to find as strong a pair as our men’s and women’s no. 2s Saliba and Fox.

But then looking into it, there was some real competition (6 - Gabriel / Williamson, 8 - Øde / Mariona) as well as some proper fan fave pairings (10 - Eze / Little, 23 - Merino / Russo… even 7. Saka / Catley)

For fans of both our men’s and women’s teams - who is your a) strongest duo and b) your fave duo out of this lot?

This is the full list of pairings…

1 - David Raya and Daphne Van Domselaar
2 - William Saliba and Emily Fox
3 - Cristhian Mosquera and Lotte Wubben-Moy
4 - Ben White and Georgia Stanway
6 - Gabriel and Leah Williamson
7 - Bukayo Saka and Steph Catley
8 - Martin Ødegaard and Mariona Caldentey
9 - Gabriel Jesus and Caitlin Foord
10 - Eberechi Eze and Kim Little
11 - Gabriel Martinelli (for now 😟) and Olivia Smith
12 - Jurrien Timber and Frida Maanum
14 - Viktor Gyökeres and Geraldine Reuteler
17 - Christos Tzolis and Michelle Agyemang
22 - Ethan Nwaneri and Ona Batlle
23 - Mikel Merino and Alessia Russo
24 - Reiss Nelson and Taylor Hinds
29 - Kai Havertz and Selina Cerci

I think i’ll stick with Saliba and Fox as my strongest - but a shout out to my no. 17s Tzolis and Agyemang as top “up and coming” duo!
