No, so we will facing 3rd placed Champions League teams while they will face 2nd playing Conference League sides.
Realistically, it is very likely we will go out to someone like Dortmund while they will progress against the likes of Qarabag or Randers. So they will likely end up with more coefficient points and money than us from Europe as a result of dropping down.
Their worst possible draw would Spurs or Roma though and our best draw would be Sheriff. So there is a tiny chance we could get an easier draw.
Let's just wait for the draws before all heading down to mass.
Slavia, Partizan and PAOK are all possible opponents for them and none of them will be a walk over.
Likwise I'd fancy us against Zenit coming out of cold storage, and we've an amazing record in Portugal so perhaps Benfica, too. The 'big' teams often don't take the EL seriously till the quarters or semis, so might not be a bad time to draw anyone.
