Sunderland will play against AC Milan in the Europa League. The draw took place on Friday, as reported by the Europa League website. This match is big for Sunderland as it will be their first European campaign since 1973.
The Black Cats finished seventh in the Premier League last season. They will play eight league-phase matches in this competition as they return to European football.
Bournemouth has also been drawn against AC Milan. Unlike Sunderland, they will host the Italian team at home. This will be Bournemouth's first time competing in European football.
Along with AC Milan, Bournemouth will also face Spanish side Real Sociedad in their eight league-phase matches. This is an exciting time for the Cherries as they step onto the European stage.
Crystal Palace, last season’s Conference League winners, have a tough draw. They will face Lyon, Real Sociedad, and Besiktas among their eight matches in the Europa League.
This will be Crystal Palace's first time in the Europa League. They were dropped from the competition last July for breaking rules about owning multiple clubs.
