Action began in Nyon, Contains a long video presentation about the remaining teams in the Champions League.
Before the lottery Introducing the England U-21 national team. Here’s PA Media’s report:
Manchester United midfielder Koby Mainou, Leeds versatile player Archie Gray and Luton centre-back Teden Mengi make their first appearances in the England Under-21 squad for Euro 2025 qualifiers against Azerbaijan and Luxembourg. This includes six players who were called up.
Head coach Lee Carsley named a 24-man squad, with Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka, Bournemouth’s Alex Scott and Aston Villa forward Morgan Rodgers receiving their first call-ups.
Mainu, 18, has appeared for United in the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup this season, scoring twice. Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite and Chelsea forward Cole Palmer have both been named in Gareth Southgate’s senior squad for the Wembley friendly between Belgium and Brazil in March.
Among the players missing from the final under-21 squad due to injury are Liam Delap, on loan at Hull from Manchester City, and Norwich winger Jonathan Rowe. England are three points behind Ukraine in Group F and have their next qualifier in Azerbaijan on March 22nd, before facing Luxembourg in Bolton on March 26th.
England Under-21s face Azerbaijan and Luxembourg: Matthew Cox (Bristol Rovers on loan from Brentford), Sam Tickle (Wigan) and James Trafford (Burnley). Charlie Cresswell (Leeds), Callum Doyle (Leicester, on loan from Manchester City), Taylor Harwood-Bellis (Southampton, on loan from Manchester City), Rico Luiz (Manchester City), Teden Mengi (Luton) ), Jarrell Quansah (Liverpool), Brooke Norton-Cuffee (Millwall, on loan from Arsenal), Nathan Wood (Swansea). Carney Chukwuemeka (Chelsea), Harvey Elliott (Liverpool), Koby Mainu (Manchester United), James McAtee (Sheffield United, on loan from Manchester City), Tyler Morton (Hull, on loan from Liverpool) , Archie Gray (Leeds), Alex Scott (Bournemouth); Jamie Bynow-Gittens (Borussia Dortmund), Jay Stansfield (Birmingham, on loan from Fulham), Samuel Iring-Junior (Juventus), Noni Madueke. (Chelsea), Jayden Philozine (Hull), Morgan Rodgers (Aston Villa).
Crikey, that’s quite an accumulation. The UEFA draw is just around the corner. I enjoy a good draw. Of course, this could end up being a disappointing draw, but only time will tell. Personally, I was prepared for a four-hour draw, but I’m disappointed that UEFA didn’t allow it. It would be like Test cricket to football.
That’s right, I’m now Dave Tindall, and that’s it for my warm-up duties. Please take your seats and give a big round of applause to today’s headliner, Simon Burnton.

Europa League combinations:
And at noon: “Everyone wants to avoid a draw between Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen.” It would be best to leave Klopp vs. Alonso in the final, but it could happen in the last eight. That leaves three Italians, two British and one each from Portugal, Germany and France.

preamble
good morning! That’s big. The same applies not only to the Ides in March, but also to the day of the draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League and Europa League.
In addition to the draw starting at 11am, we will be building a slightly reduced Premier League program with an eye towards the FA Cup quarter-final weekend. As any on-the-ball fantasy manager knows, there are only four games.
Right, let’s get this started.
