Standout groups
Three immediately jump out to me: Groups A, B and C.
It's not an especially easy draw for England, particularly given their recent struggles in the Nations League.

We start with the big boys
Teams from pot one and the Nations League pot will be drawn first.

There are some restrictions, too
This is a UEFA draw so of course it’s not as simple as drawing a series of numbered balls out of a big hat…
For political reasons, Armenia and Azerbaijan will be kept apart in the draw today, as will Belarus and Ukraine and Gibraltar and Spain.
Also: Kosovo cannot be in a group with Bosnia-Herzegovina or Serbia.
Only two Nordic or Baltic countries can be drawn together because of potentially treacherous winter weather conditions, meanwhile.
