Stoke City are to be joined by Manchester City and Manchester United in the Uefa Europa League round of 32, but 19 other teams will compete for the remaining nine places on Wednesday and Thursday.
City and United are two of eight teams transferring from the Uefa Champions League – also included are FC Porto, Trabzonspor, Ajax, Valencia, Olympiacos and FC Viktoria Plzen – and join 15 teams already assured of a place in the next round.
Tottenham, Fulham and Birmingham City and Celtic await their fate in what promises to be a compelling week of European action.
The road to progress from Group A for Tottenham is not so straight-forward given the fact that PAOK are already qualified and Shamrock Rovers cannot make it through.
To qualify the north Londoners must win in Dublin, hope Rubin Kazan lose away to PAOK and make up a goal difference deficit which currently stands at five. If the two teams finish exactly level on goal difference and goals scored, Tottenham will qualify due to their higher coefficient.

In Group K, Twente have won the section and Odense are out, while Fulham are a point ahead of Wisla Krakow and have a superior head-to-head.
To finish second, Wisla must win against the Eredivisie side and hope that Martin Jol’s men lose to their Danish visitors.
Fulham 1/5 draw 5/1 Odense 14/1 – match prices
Group H is extraordinarily tight, although Braga are through as they have a superior head-to-head over Birmingham.
However, Chris Hughton’s Championship side can overtake Brugge with a victory against eliminated Maribor should the Belgian side lose because Blues have the superior head-to-head record.
Brugge won at Braga on match-day two so a draw in the return fixture would take them through as group winners.
Birmingham City 8/15 draw 3/1 Maribor 5/1 – match prices
In Group I, Atletico Madrid have qualified and a draw with already-eliminated Rennes would clinch first place.
Udinese are three points ahead of Celtic, who would go through on the head-to-head record with a victory in Italy. If the Serie A side draw they will finish second but will finish top with a win if Atletico lose.
Udinese 8/13 draw 11/4 Celtic 9/2 – match prices
