On Wednesday, the Champions League draw will take place in Monaco.

Now using a single league table format, teams play each other just once - albeit with eight fixtures rather than six.

As such, new software means only the top seeds in Pot 1 require a ball to be drawn.

When each side is chosen, the supercomputer generates eight opponents for them based on a system of strict rules.

The lighting-quick set-up is sure to leave fans excited.

But the Europa and Conference League draws are even more technologically advanced.

Taking place the following day, both tournaments will have their group stages finalised simultaneously.

Thanks to an even smoother software transition, NO balls are required to be drawn at all.

For the first time ever, all fixtures will instead be made with the single press of a button.

It means the Europa and Conference League draws will be over in seconds.

But the suspense will remain, as organisers will then progressively release the fixtures to punters for maximum excitement.

Fixture dates and kick-off times will not be given on the day.

However, supporters will know when exactly they have to book time off by the end of August.
