In an article on UEFA's official website, they also state: "A draw will be made to determine the 'home' side in the final for administrative reasons."

As ever, the draw will be made at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

How will it work?

It is a pretty simple process now - each of the teams will be drawn from one pot to form the ties and the first club drawn out will play the first game of their two-legged tie at home.

There will be no seedings or country protection meaning teams from the same football association - including Arsenal and Chelsea - can play one another.
