Manchester United, Rangers and Tottenham will be hoping to avoid the Europa League knockout round play-offs.
The Premier League duo occupy a top-eight spot ahead of the final round of league phase fixtures and holding firm would see them sail through to the last-16 stage without the need for two more fixtures
Rangers, meanwhile, need to beat Union Saint-Gilloise to stand any chance of progressing automatically to the last 16, although they are assured of a place in the play-offs.
