# Follow the draw live on this website and on BBC Five Live from 1200 BST

 

A strong contingent of British clubs go into the draw for the first round of the Uefa Cup on Friday at 1200 BST.

 

Blackburn, Tottenham, West Ham and Rangers are automatic qualifiers while Hearts also go in after their Champions League loss to AEK Athens.

 

Newcastle and Derry City will join them after coming through their final qualifying matches on Thursday, but Llanelli, Drogheda and Gretna are out.

 

The first-round matches are played over two legs on 14 and 28 September.

 

A total of 40 teams will then advance to the group stages, where pools of five teams vie to reach the knockout stages.

 

The winner, runner-up and third-placed team from each group advance to the last 32 where they are joined by eight clubs knocked out of the Champions League.

 

The competition will culminate in the final at Hampden Park 16 May.

 

Spanish side Sevilla are in the first-round draw and will aim to defend the title they won at the expense of Middlesbrough last year.

 

Schalke, semi-finalists in 2006, are also back in the hunt along with fellow German club Bayer Leverkusen, winners in 1988.
