Pool three - What does that mean for todays draw?

What a Europe League qualification night that was. Of course, everyone expected our win in Baku, as well as Liverpool, Juve, Leverkusen, Stuttgart and Villareal to qualify for the group stages. But a lot of big guns dropped out before the group stages. Aston Villa's nightmare returned with Rapid Vienna, the Bhoys were hammered 4-0 in Utrecht, Swiss second league side Lausanne Sports beat Lok Moskau, Karpaty Lwiw drew 1-1 against Galatasary with two goals in stoppage time, which was enough for the Ukrain side to beat Gala on away goals and and and. This all of a sudden leaves us in Pool 3 for today's draw in Monaco. This draw will take place in Monaco at 1pm CET and will be live on Eurosport and also on www.uefa.com. Let's have a look at our possible opponents. We wil be in Pool 3 and therefore can not face any team from this pool, we will also not play Stuttgart or Leverkusen as well as two teams from one country. We will be drawn against one team from each of the other pools. Here we go.
