The Europa League semi-final draw will then begin immediately after, with ties numbered 1–4 for the last-four.  

As we saw in the round of 16, neither country protection or seedings are a factor in Friday’s draw, which will also include a draw for the final’s ‘home’ side, which is done for ‘administrative’ reasons.   

The draw, like the Champions League, will take place inside the House of European Football in Nyon, Switzerland.
