In the last 16 of the Europa League, Liverpool will face Sparta Prague, while Brighton has been drawn against Roma. West Ham's opponents will be Freiburg, and Scottish Premiership leaders Rangers are set to take on Benfica.


Meanwhile, in the Europa Conference League, Aston Villa, the only remaining British team in the competition, will have to overcome former European champions Ajax.


The first legs of these matches are scheduled for 7 March, with the second legs to follow a week later on 14 March.


The Europa League knockout round playoffs concluded on Thursday, with the eight group winners advancing directly to the last 16 and enjoying the advantage of playing at home in the second legs.


This advantage also applies in the Europa Conference League, where Aston Villa, along with Liverpool, Brighton, West Ham, and Rangers, will have the privilege of playing at home in the second leg next month.


In the Europa League last-16 draw:


- Sparta Prague vs. Liverpool

- Marseille vs. Villarreal

- Roma vs. Brighton

- Benfica vs. Rangers

- Freiburg vs. West Ham

- Sporting Lisbon vs. Atalanta

- AC Milan vs. Slavia Prague

- Qarabag vs. Bayer Leverkusen


Liverpool secured their place in the last 16 with a game to spare in November, avoiding the February play-off round by topping their group. They will face Sparta Prague, a team they previously defeated in the 2010-11 Europa League.


West Ham, also qualifying early, will take on Freiburg, whom they have already beaten twice in this season's competition.


Brighton, competing in European football for the first time in their history, will meet Roma, while Aston Villa, returning to Europe after a decade, faces Ajax.


In the Europa Conference League last-16 draw:


- Servette vs. Viktoria Plzen

- Ajax vs. Aston Villa

- Molde vs. Club Brugge

- Union SG vs. Fenerbahce

- Dinamo Zagreb vs. PAOK
